数学の関数領域における創造性の発達に関する研究 : 一次関数を対象として

抄録

In this paper, I describe the degree of creativity development of students by using "the linear function", which is the teaching materials in mathematics education in junior high school grade 2. The experiment was participants by 170 students from junior high school grade 2, senior high school grade 1 and second year university students. I set five evaluation viewpoint to measure a creativity ability test. These are divergency, logicalness, fluency, flexibility and originality. I examined the degrees of creativity ability development, the correlation coefficient and the causality relation among the scores of each evaluation viewpoint by using the creativity ability test. The results are as follows: - As for total score of the creativity ability test, the score of high school students is lower compared with the score of junior high school students and university students. - As for divergency score in the creativity ability test, the score of high school students is lower compared with the score of junior high school students and university students. - The difference of the development about logicalness and fluency is seen between students of high school and university. - The development about flexibility and originality is hardly seen even if the grade rises. - In all grades, the structure of the correlation coefficient and the causality relation among the scores of five evaluation viewpoints was similar. - The students who get higher originality score achieve higher logicalness score, higher fluency score and flexibility score. The students who get higher flexibility score achieve higher divergency score, higher logicalness score and higher fluency score.
