Abstract

Abstract

Researchers of current study hypothesized that self- regulated learning is a convenient tool to enhance cre- ativity since both serve to autonomous learning and self-actualization. In this respect, the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of self-regulated learning on enhancing creative thinking skills. An experi- mental design with a control group was used in this study. A total of 14 participants were assigned to re- ceive the experimental training. The same number of participants was assigned to the control group. A unique program developed by the researchers com- bined SCAMPER and self-regulated learning tech- nique was used in the experimental group. Only SCAMPER was used in the control group. The find- ings of the study revealed that self-regulated learning was effective to teach SCAMPER.

 

Öz

Mevcut araştırmada öz düzenleyici öğrenmenin, oto- nom bir düşünür olup kendini gerçekleştirmeye hiz- met etmesinden dolayı, yaratıcılığın arttırılması için uygun bir araç olduğu varsayılmaktadır. Bu bağ- lamda çalışmanın amacı, öz düzenleyici öğrenmenin yaratıcı düşünme becerilerini geliştirmedeki etkisini araştırmaktır ve temel araştırma sorusu şu şekildedir: Öz düzenleyici öğrenme, üniversite 2. Sınıf öğrencile- rinin SCAMPER etkinliğindeki puanlarının arttırıl- masında etkili midir? Bu çalışmada kontrol gruplu deneysel model kullanılmıştır. Deney ve kontrol grupları on dört öğrenciden oluşmuştur. Mevcut ça- lışma kapsamında araştırmacılar tarafından geliştiri- len ve SCAMPER ve öz düzenleyici öğrenme teknik- leri birleştiren bir program deney grubuna uygulan- mıştır. Kontrol grubunda sadece SCAMPER tekniği çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları, öz düzenleyici öğ- renmenin, SCAMPER tekniğinin öğretilmesi için et- kili olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
