Subclaims¶

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q2 i? The earlier Sak & Oz (2009) study reported significant gains on poem and story tasks but a low effect on the paradox(es) task. → Akar 2013

Akar 2013¶

Akar, İ., & Şengil-Akar, Ş. (2013). The effectiveness of the Creative Reversal Act (CREACT) on students' creative thinking: Further evidence from Turkey. TOJET: The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology, 12(4). https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1272859

q2 · i? · causal · r1

The article reports, citing Sak & Oz (2009), a one group pretest-posttest study with social sciences high school students, three weeks and six lessons, pre- and post-tested via poem, story and paradox tasks. Attributed as the source attributes it; no effect sizes are printed here.

"It was found that CREACT improved students' creative performance significantly on the poem and story tasks, but had a low effect on their creative performance on the paradox (es) task"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Creativity — outcome: instruction changes it

Twenty-three 5th graders' creativity scores rise after nine CREACT drawing-arts lessons in a one-group pretest-posttest study without a control group (effect size .71) — related
No significant interaction between gender and CREACT on pretest or posttest creative performance — related
Short-term creativity interventions can be effective in changing creativity positively — a broader claim this one bears on
Critical thinking gains were significant for creative critical thought but not for logic and reasoning — related
