“…The results confirm the findings of previous meta-analysis (Ma, 2006;Rose & Lin, 1984;Scott et al, 2004) indicating that creativity training is effective (d = 0.81, r = 0.35) on adults. The magnitude of this finding indicates creativity training is promising for increasing adults' creative thinking.…”

“…They also observed that the most successful creativity training models are grounded in the procedure for the generation of new ideas, specifically problem finding and conceptual combination, which concerns the application of cognitive capacities. More recently, Ma's (2006) meta-analysis of creativity training on 34 studies revealed a large effect size (grand mean effect size 0.77), which further confirmed Torrance's (1972a) initial investigation. Moreover, it showed older adults had more successful training effects than younger ones.…”

A demand for fostering creativity has become a universal discourse across different nations, reflecting globalization of economic activity. Teachers play a key role in promoting creative thinking through appropriate approaches in the classroom. Because a number of studies indicate that most creativity research focuses on children rather on adults, the purpose of this meta-analytic study is to investigate the effects of creativity training on adults. It is hoped that by providing evidence-based findings, adult educators could consider fostering creativity in adult classrooms. The results confirm the findings of previous meta-analysis indicating that creativity training is effective on adults. The magnitude of this finding indicates creativity training is promising for increasing adults' creative thinking.

“…Esta pesquisa corrobora resultados de investigações anteriores cujas evidências apontam para os efeitos positivos de programas de criatividade (Ma, 2006;Nakano, 2011;Rose & Lin, 1984;Scott, Leritz, & Mumford, 2004), especialmente no que diz respeito à promoção de habilidades criativas. Entre as limitações do estudo, salientam-se a seleção da amostra de conveniência e o uso de dois instrumentos (Teste Torrance do Pensamento Criativo e Escala sobre Clima para a Criatividade em Sala de Aula) que não foram validados para a faixa etária ou ano escolar dos discentes participantes da pesquisa.…”

“…Técnicas e materiais instrucionais foram desenvolvidos para facilitar a expressão da criatividade no ambiente escolar. Como consequência, vários estudos foram realizados com vistas a avaliar os efeitos de intervenções em criatividade (Ma, 2006;Nakano, 2011;Rose & Lin, 1984;Scott, Leritz, & Mumford, 2004). Os resultados revelam um impacto positivo, apoiando a premissa de que é possível ensinar a pessoa a pensar criativamente.…”

Science and Technology, both in mechanical engineering. Since joining James Madison University, Nagel has helped to develop and teach the six course engineering design sequence which represents the spine of the curriculum for the Department of Engineering. The research and teaching interests of Dr. Nagel tend to revolve around engineering design and engineering design education, and in particular, the design conceptualization phase of the design process. He has performed research with the US Army Chemical Corps, General Motors Research and Development Center, and the US Air Force Academy, and he has received grants from the NSF, the EPA, and General Motors Corporation. University Maker Spaces: Discovery, Optimization and Measurement of Impacts AbstractIt is essential that modern engineers not only master engineering science and analysis, but they must also learn to drive the next generation of design, creation, and innovation. In parallel to the success of community maker spaces outside of academic settings, many universities are moving beyond traditional machine shops and building multi-disciplinary maker space design centers. This project seeks to understand and use these new environments to achieve elusive aims in engineering education such as improving at-risk student retention, fostering diverse learning environments, and promoting multi-disciplinary teams. We will also investigate the potential of maker spaces to positively influence females and minorities and thereby broaden participation in engineering.Impact will be measured through engineering design self-efficacy; retention in the engineering major; and idea generation ability. Impacts will be measured at two levels. The first level of the project will use a randomly assigned experimental design to assess the impact of early maker space engagement on females and minorities through longitudinal measurements. In the second level, we compare segment snapshots and longitudinal measurements between extensive maker space users and those with minimal exposure. We will also identify best-practice approaches and guidelines for designing maker spaces, through discussions and interviews with leaders of maker spaces from educational institution around the country.
