The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the science gifted children's Science Process Skiils and Creativity development by Scientific Writing Program using Thinking maps. To verify research problem, the subject of this study were third-grade students selected from two classes of an elementary scientific gifted students located in Ulsan : the search group is composed of twenty students who were participated in TScientific Writing Program using Thinking maps, and the other is composed of twenty students (comparison group) who were participated in teacher map based instruction in comparison group. Pro-test showed following results: First, the search group showed a significant improvement in the science process skills compared the comparison group. Second, the search group didn't showed a significant improvement in creativity compared in the comparison group. In conclusion, Scientific Writing Program using Thinking maps was more effective than teaching model using the teacher map on science process skill and creativity.

Because the creative thinking or idea is essential to survive at the age of competition, most of advanced nations focus their education on development of creative thinking. So many researches are being carried out in Korea, but it's not easy to improve students's creativity through teaching computer because many teaching materials and manuals are composed of the software application and simple skill. Therefore this study will present effective Creativity-Improvement Program which can develop students's creativity and be applicable to classwork through concentrating on content system.

The purpose of this study was to develop science and art integrated program to improve the creativity of scientifically gifted elementary school students. This study was to develop science and art integrated program to enhance the creativity of these subjects. This program was consisted of 30 lessons covering 10 topics. It was developed of five stages including the observation stage reflecting the characteristics of the right hemisphere relevant to creativity, the interest and curiosity stage, the experiment design and performing stage, the internalization stage, and the stage of expressing arts. This program was applied to 20 senior gifted students in Y Elementary School in Gyeonggi province. Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking(TTCT) was used in order to investigate and measure the effectiveness of the program before and after its use in class. The results of this study are as follows: First, this program showed results of significant improvement of creativity of scientifically gifted elementary school students after its use in class(p<.05). Second, it was significantly effective in increasing their creativity, especially in the subdomains such as originality, abstractness of title, and territory of resistance on hasty conclusions after its use in class(p<.05). Third, it was significantly effective to increase the Creativity Index that represents creative potential(p<.01). In particular, emotional expression, internalized visualization, unique visualization, and richness of the imagery emerged. This study implies that the science and art integrated program was closely related to the right hemisphere of the features enabling the subjects to create new ideas, new things, and new reactions. In addition, this program is expected to contribute to activate the brain areas of creativity for gifted students in the science field.

Creativity is the thinking ability and the expression of new image by imagination as a problem recognition and way of solution. This study aims to search for the creativity theory of body movement and to analyze the creativity factor. According to the study, the creativity of body movement needs four steps: movement awareness, movement design, movement discovery and movement use. The use of new image through self-perception and self concept brings about a creative improvement in the problem recognition and its resolution function. In conclusion, the creativity of body movement means the infinity of body movement as 'the third energy' and 'the flexibility of flow' by interaction.

Purpose: It can be said that the 21st century is the age of creativity. However creativity has been relatively less considered in comparison with control and continuous improvement in quality management. How to incorporate creativity into quality management is treated in this paper. Methods: The opposing characteristics of quality and creativity are examined, and the possible outcomes resulted from the conflict are reviewed. Previous researches on managing evolutionary and revolutionary changes are also examined. Results: Quality and creativity require each other although they have incompatible characteristics, and can be incorporated into the innovation cycle. Conclusion: Creative thinking tools such as SIT should be included in the quality training and education for the effective operation of the innovation cycle.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the expression characteristics of creative fashion illustration based on the theory of creativity by using the conceptual ideas related to visual expression in the theory of creativity of R. Bernstein. The contents of the study were theoretical basis of creativity theory and R. Bernstein's creative thinking tool. A specific checklist applying 13 creative thinking tools was developed to analyze individual cases and characteristics of creative thinking tools applied to visual arts and fashion illustrations. As a result, the application of a creative thinking method by the utilization, transformation and integration of R. Bernstein's thought tool yielded creative thinking about fashion illustration and the value of improvement creativity that can expand expression areas.

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.
