The purpose of this study is to examine if the application of instructional media can affect the development of creative thinking in children and to analyze the development effect of creative thinking through experiment and deep investigation of instructional media theory.
The hypothesis of this theory are as follows:
1st, children of experimental group who use audio-visual media (instructional media) will have much score than children of control group with traditional class in creativity.
2nd, children of experimental group who use audio-visual media (instructional media) will have much score than children of control group with traditional class in the four lower sphere of creativity.
The 36 young children, aged5, in M kindergarten and P kindergarten in Gwangju Metropolitan City, were selected as subjects and were divided into two groups: experimental group and comparative group.
TTCT(Torrance Test of Creative Thinking) by Torrance was used as a research method. Type A was used in pretest and type B was used in posttest, and they were the same standardized test form.
The experiment was conducted for 8 weeks from Sep. 4th, 2006 to Sep. 27th, 2006 with the following procedure-pretest, experiment, posttest.
The results of this research are as follows:
1st, 1st, children of experimental group who use audio-visual media (instructional media) had much score than children of control group with traditional class in creativity.
2nd, children of experimental group who use audio-visual media (instructional media) had much score than children of control group with traditional class among the four lower sphere of creativity (flexibility, originality, ingenuity) except fluency.
