The objective of this study was to examine the effect of storytelling-used drawing activities on young children's creativity and linguistic expressiveness, thus working out basic data to help young children's development of creativity and linguistic expressiveness. Study subjects were 20 4-year old children at D Child-care Center in Anyang City, Gyeonggi-do. The experiment group conducted storytelling-used drawing activities, whereas the control group carried out drawing activities after viewing famous paintings and hearing fairy tales. Study findings are as follows: First, young children in the experiment group who carried out storytelling-used drawing activities presented significantly higher improvement in creativity than children in the control group did. Regarding the sub-variables of creativity, the score of the experiment group was higher in sensitivity, originality and flexibility than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant. Second, young children in the experiment group who carried out storytelling-used drawing activities presented significantly higher improvement in linguistic expressiveness than children in the control group did. Regarding the sub-variables of linguistic expressiveness, the score of the experiment group was higher in the area of 'story development after seeing paintings' and 'connected story development after seeing paintings' than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant. In conclusion, the significance of this study seems to be in that it verified storytelling-used drawing activities have positive effects on young children's improvement of creativity and linguistic expressiveness, and confirmed storytelling-used drawing activities are an effective technique to improve young children's creativity and linguistic expressiveness.

Creative thinking alone can not lead to scientific creativity. Scientific knowledge and scientific inquiry skills are needed for scientific creativity. Focused only on cognitive aspect, I suggested a cognitive model of scientific creativity (CMSC) consisting of 3 components: thinking for scientific creativity, scientific knowledge contents, and scientific inquiry skills. Recently, many researchers have emphasized the various thinking for creativity as well as divergent thinking. Therefore, I suggested three types of creative thinking - divergent thinking, convergent thinking, and associational thinking - and discussed its rationale. Based on this model, an example of activity material for the scientific creativity was suggested. In the further research, based on CMSC, various activity types related to scientific creativity and concrete learning materials for scientific creativity will be developed.

This study was to investigate the changes of attitudes related to science of students in high school science club through modified the creative-experience activity model program. To begin with, using the creative-experience activity model program the programs adapted to the school practices have been developed through consultation of the teachers. The developed program was performed on students in the high school science club. Then we studied the changes of attitudes related to science of students through their outcomes of the activities and face-to-face talk. The change of attitudes related to science of students is positive, especially problem-solving, curiosity, a sense of responsibility, interests toward science, interests toward science related careers, and leisure interest in science. Interest for science as hobby were influenced by used tools like telescopes and experimental tools. Interest for science class were not effective to change to positive by creative experience activity. It seems to be due to creative experience activity were not connected with science class. The program to participate in the activities was more effective than to observe with visit for the change of the attitude related to science. Also, the programs with activities contained scientific knowledge were more effective.

The present study proposes an innovative approach to develop educational contents for the field trip with creative activities. In the study, the field trip with creative activities extends students' learning spaces from not only the classroom but also social circumstances. With the use of the Creative Resource Map (CRM) for students' field trip, students can approach to rich contents whenever and wherever they want. For this, it is necessary to have a variety of curriculum-related contents. For the content development, it is important to enhance mutual cooperation between school and local community as well as to create local capacity for the development of the u-learning contents with smart devices.

Recently, the discussion of domain-generality vs. domain-specificity of creativity has been continued. At this point in time, we need to research computer programming activities related to creativity again. While most of existing relative researches have performed TTCT figural tests for evaluating learners' creativity of learning education programming language, our perspective is that verbal creativity is needed on learning education programming language more. In this research, we have developed scratch programming learning based on CPS with the contents using fundamental concepts of computer science from the viewpoint of that programming is a kind of learning required verbal thinking style. This learning program was applied to 17 students of 4th and 5th grade for each 4 classes in 5 days, total 20 classes, this group passed normality test has the result of t-test has found that three subscales (fluency, flexibility and originality) and creativity index (mean of three standard scores) of verbal creativity were improved significantly using the mean of standard scores (100) of TTCT verbal tests as the test value.

This study investigated the effects of the extension activity with fifty famous paintings on the improvement of young children's creativity and emotional intelligence. A total of thirty-one preschoolers participated in the study. There were a total of 15 preschoolers in the experimental group and 16 preschoolers in the comparison group. The measuring device of creativity was the Figural Tests of Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT:Firural). And the measuring tool of emotional intelligence was the 'Emotional Intelligence Evaluation Tool for a Child by Teacher's Composer' developed by Younja Lee, Jongsook Lee, and Eunsu Shin (2000). To improve the accuracy of the experimental results from the post-test, a covariance analysis (ANCOVA) was conducted with the pre-test scores as covariate and the post-test scores as dependent variables. The statistical work with collected data was carried out by using PASW 18.0. The experimental group which participated in the extension activity with famous paintings showed improvement in the subordinate elements of creativity such as fluency, originality and abstraction of titles. Between the experimental group and comparison group, there was a meaningful difference statistically. The experimental group was also positively affected on all the subordinate elements of emotional intelligence such as awareness and expression of emotions, improvement of thinking by emotions, using ability of emotional knowledge, and control ability as the reflection of emotions. Through the activity, children became to respect the opinions of other friends.
