未来工程师的创造力培养:来自教育经验的初步结果

Creativity Training for Future Engineers: Preliminary Results from an Educative Experience

Sophie Morin, Jean-Marc Robert, Liane Gabora

摘要:

部分由于文化和环境变化的步伐加快,以及全球化带来的竞争加剧,创新成为21世纪的主要关注点之一。我们提出了一个学术课程,旨在开发与工程教育背景下的创造力相关的认知能力,基于认知科学的概念框架。该课程在蒙特利尔理工学院(ÉPM)举办,该学院是世界著名的工程学校,也是加拿大工程界的支柱。该课程在2014-2015学年开设了两次,来自研究生和本科生课程的30多名学生参加了课程。该课程采用了10种教学策略,包括严肃的游戏、观察书、个人和小组项目等,这有助于开发与创造力相关的认知能力,如编码和联想分析思维。CEDA(创造性工程设计评估)测试用于测量学生在课程开始和结束时的创造力。在15个三小时的课程中的每一个课程之后都进行了实地记录,以定性地记录整个学期的教育干预,学生在完成最后一个课程后给出了匿名的书面反馈。定量和定性的结果表明,创造力的增加是可能的,以获得与课程设计,以发展相关的创造力的认知能力。此外,学生们欣赏这门课程,发现它是相关的,并取得了重要的,有意义的学习有关的创造性过程,其认知机制和可用的方法来增加它。

英文摘要:

Due in part to the increased pace of cultural and environmental change, as well as increased competition due to globalization, innovation is become one of the primary concerns of the 21st century. We present an academic course designed to develop cognitive abilities related to creativity within an engineering education context, based on a conceptual framework rooted in cognitive sciences. The course was held at École Polytechnique de Montréal (ÉPM), a world renowned engineering school and a pillar in Canada's engineering community. The course was offered twice in the 2014-2015 academic year and more than 30 students from the graduate and undergraduate programs participated. The course incorporated ten pedagogical strategies, including serious games, an observation book, individual and group projects, etc., that were expected to facilitate the development of cognitive abilities related to creativity such as encoding, and associative analytical thinking. The CEDA (Creative Engineering Design Assessment) test was used to measure the students' creativity at the beginning and at the end of the course. Field notes were taken after each of the 15 three-hour sessions to qualitatively document the educative intervention along the semester and students gave anonymous written feedback after completing the last session. Quantitative and qualitative results suggest that an increase in creativity is possible to obtain with a course designed to development cognitive abilities related to creativity. Also, students appreciated the course, found it relevant, and made important, meaningful learnings regarding the creative process, its cognitive mechanism and the approaches available to increase it.
