“…In the pursuit of acknowledging the importance of realistic test settings that reflect the complexity of sports (Diamond, 2015), a modified version of the BAST® movement analysis was developed and used to capture the complexity of movement improvisations performed by university sports students. In contrast to testings that mainly focused on motor creativity in children (e.g., Pürgstaller, 2021; Richard et al., 2018, 2020), the modified BAST® allows for a comprehensive analysis of movement concepts throughout movement improvisations tasks that are suitable for adult participants. At the end of the study program, the DOSP students presented more movement concepts (fluency) with more variations (elaboration) during their movement improvisations.…”

“…Studies on motor creativity predominantly resorted to divergent thinking tests (e.g., verbal creativity measures) or test instruments that are often far from the movement phenomena of real‐life sports situations (e.g., agility ladder tasks) and therefore lack external validity. Some highly sport‐specific test instruments consider solely team sports (e.g., Creativity Behavior Assessment in Team Sports; Santos, Jiménez, Sampaio, & Leite, 2017), while recent attempts to include the body as a source and integral component of creativity in individuals focus mainly on children (e.g., Pürgstaller, 2021; Richard, Aubertin, Yang, & Kriellaars, 2020; Richard, Lebeau, Becker, Boiangin, & Tenenbaum, 2018). Due to their age‐specific movement tasks, these tests fail to capture the complexity of human motor creativity in adults.…”

Based on studies reporting a link between creative thinking and motor creativity, we investigate whether training motor creativity also positively influences creative thinking. In a longitudinal study design spanning two‐and‐a‐half years, we analyzed the relationships between the development of motor and figural creativity based on two distinct programs: a convergent‐oriented sport study program (COSP) and a divergent‐oriented study program (DOSP). Thirty‐three COSP and 31 DOSP students participated in a comprehensive creativity assessment at the beginning and end of their sport studies. A modified version of the BAST® movement analysis was developed to assess motor creativity. Figural creativity was tested via the TTCT. Although both groups were matched for motor and figural creativity, by the end of their sport studies, the DOSP students outperformed the COSP students in all analyzed motor creativity measures (fluency, elaboration, originality). Furthermore, DOSP students also developed significantly in aspects of figural creativity compared to COSP students. Nonlinear structure and teaching methods in the divergent‐oriented learning environment significantly enhance creativity in sports students by broadening not only their movement repertoire but also transferring these new bodily experiences into the figural domain. These findings support the concept of an underlying supramodal base for motor and figural creativity.

“…Therefore, as creativity researchers, we commonly administer tasks and assessments to our participants that are designed to elicit the production of original ideas (e.g., divergent thinking tasks; Dumas & Dunbar, 2014; Forthmann, Paek, Dumas, Barbot, & Holling, 2020; Forthmann, Szardenings, & Holling, 2020; Said‐Metwaly, Taylor, Camarda, & Barbot, 2022). Within the creativity research literature, a relatively wide variety of tasks have been devised for this purpose, which differ depending on the population in which they are intended to be used (e.g., children or adults; Orwig, Diez, Vannini, Beaty, & Sepulcre, 2021; Richard, Aubertin, Yang, & Kriellaars, 2020), the domain in which they are nested (e.g., arts or sciences; Dumas, Schmidt, & Alexander, 2016; Pürgstaller, 2021), and the format in which they are composed (e.g., verbal or drawing; Fink, Reim, Benedek, & Grabner, 2020), among many other differences (e.g., instructions; Acar, Runco, & Park, 2020). Despite all these sources of variation, one aspect that tends to unite creativity assessments is their open‐ended nature (Dumas, Doherty, & Organisciak, 2020; Dumas, Organisciak, Maio, & Doherty, 2020).…”

Open‐ended verbal creativity assessments are commonly administered in psychological research and in educational practice to elementary‐aged children. Children's responses are then typically rated by teams of judges who are trained to identify original ideas, hopefully with a degree of inter‐rater agreement. Even in cases where the judges are reliable, some residual disagreement on the originality of the responses is inevitable. Here, we modeled the predictors of inter‐rater disagreement in a large (i.e., 387 elementary school students and 10,449 individual item responses) dataset of children's creativity assessment responses. Our five trained judges rated the responses with a high degree of consistency reliability (α = 0.844), but we undertook this study to predict the residual disagreement. We used an adaptive LASSO model to predict 72% of the variance in our judges' residual disagreement and found that there were certain types of responses on which our judges tended to disagree more. The main effects in our model showed that responses that were less original, more elaborate, prompted by a Uses task, from younger children, or from male students, were all more difficult for the judges to rate reliably. Among the interaction effects, we found that our judges were also more likely to disagree on highly original responses from Gifted/Talented students, responses from Latinx students who were identified as English Language Learners, or responses from Asian students who took a lot of time on the task. Given that human judgments such as these are currently being used to train artificial intelligence systems to rate responses to creativity assessments, we believe understanding their nuances is important.

“…Playing activities or games are a need that is very closely related to children, consciously or unconsciously children will learn many things and in the end what they have done can be achieved. Playing is a natural process that will be carried out by children through their imagination so that children's creativity will be formed (Hardiyanti, 2020;Richard et al, 2020). Children do not need to be told or forbidden to play, but instinctively children will do play activities.…”

Motor development is very important in the stages of child development. Children's motor development is in accordance with the characteristics of children, namely playing so that good motor skills are needed to be able to support children's daily activities. This study aims to analyze the results of e-module development and gross motor skills of students in Mentawai district. This research is a type of development research (R&D). This research was developed using the ADDIE development model. The instruments used were media expert validation questionnaires, material expert validation questionnaires, response questionnaires, and student motor skills observation sheets. The population of this study were students at Mentawai district, selected by purposive sampling technique. In this study, the data analyzed by using descriptive statistics (mean, frequency, percentage, median mode) and inferential statistics (assumption tests and hypothesis testing in the form of tests and correlation tests). The results showed that the electronic modules produced were categorized as good and there were differences in the results of the gross motor skills of the students in Mentawai district before and after the use of e-modules. This can be seen from the significance values obtained, namely 0.000 and 0.030. The conclusion that can be drawn is the creation of an electronic module for the frog jump game with a good category based on the results of media expert validation and material expert validation that can be accessed via a smartphone or laptop.
