The Effect of Ideational Creativity Activities Applied Through face-to-face and Distance Education on the Ideational Behavior Skills of Pre-school Teacher Candidates

Abstract

One of the basic skills among the 21st century skills is the ability to think creatively. Encouraging individuals to produce original ideas and supporting creative idea generation skills are important for the development of creativity. However, there are few studies in the literature on ideational creativity, especially on activities that support this type of creativity. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the implementation of activities prepared to enhance the ideational behavior skills of university students through face-to-face and distance education on the development of students' ideational behavior skills. The study was carried out in two stages. The pre-test and post-test comparison results showed that the scores of the groups that were administered ideational creativity activities through face-to-face and distance education were significantly higher than the control group. In terms of being able to produce solutions and total ideational creativity, it was determined that the post-test scores of the experimental group that was administered ideational creativity activities through distance education were higher. These findings suggest that distance education method is a preferable method in supporting ideational creativity.
