Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore characteristics of engineering students' everyday creativity compared with those of undergraduate students. For this, we investigated whether there were differences in undergraduates' everyday creativity according to majors, gender and grade. Everyday creativity can be defined as thinking and activities producing useful and suitable personal products, and to solve problems in a new and unique ways. Thus everyday creativity is reported to be universal ability creative people can express in their everyday life. Eight hundred and fifty seven students from three universities in three Korean regions responded to Everyday Creativity Scale. Our findings show that firstly, there were significant differences in undergraduates' everyday creativity by majors and gender. Whereas there were no differences in the same survey by grade. Engineering students obtained significantly lower score of everyday creativity as well as its sub-scales. Also, there were significant differences in everyday creativity's sub-factors by gender. Based on these findings, practical implications for creativity education are discussed with particular attention to learner's individual variables.
