Zekâ ve yaratıcılık arasındaki ilişki, tanım ve ölçme metodundan kaynaklanan sınırlılıklarla da ilişkilidir. Eşik teorisi iki kavram arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklamaya çalışan teorilerden birisidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı üstün zekâlı öğrencilerin yaratıcı düşünme becerileriyle birlikte zihinsel becerilerinin ve yaratıcı becerilerinin yalnız başına yapısını araştırmaktır. WISC-R ve Tor- rance Yaratıcı Düşünme Testleri kullanılarak veriler toplanmıştır. 1-3. Sınıf 278 üstün zekâlı öğrenciden elde edilen veriler üzerinde doğru- layıcı faktör analizi yapılmıştır. Sonuçlara göre TYDT alt testleri tek faktör yerine adaptif ve yenilikçilik olmak üzere iki faktör altında top- lanmıştır. Araştırma bulguları yaratıcılık ve zekânın birbirinden bağımsız olduğuna dair kanıtlar sunmaktadır.
Abstract
The relationship between intelligence and crea- tivity may be linked to the difficulties in defin- ing and measuring methodology. Threshold theory is one of the theories which is used to explain the relationship between them. The aim of this study is to investigate the struc- tures which the creative thinking ability of the gifted students and their intellectual structure is grouped and the structure which their crea- tive thinking ability are alone. Data was gath- ered using Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-R and Torrance Thinking Creativity Test (TTCT). Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted with data from 278 gifted primary school students which contained the grade range of 1 to 3. The results indicate that the TTCT subscores consist of 2 factors called adaptive and innovative rather than a single factor. Besides, the results of the analyses pro- vide support that creativity and intelligence are independent from each other.
