The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of SW education applying design thinking on the creativity of elementary school pre-service teachers. We conducted research on 22 elementary school pre-service teachers who applied for a lecture on elementary computer education at a university in Jeju city. The pre-service teachers who did not have basic understanding of SW education and basic knowledge about scratch program which is an EPL tool for research. Therefore, we had time to learn the basic education of SW education and the basic functions of the scratch program over 18 periods before the pre-test of creativity. After conducting pre-test of creativity and conducting SW education applying design thinking over 21 hours, we conducted post-test of creativity. As a creativity test tool, TTCT pattern test forms A and B of Torrance were used. As a result of the verification, it was found that SW education applying design thinking was effective in improving creativity of elementary school pre-service teachers.

A creative science writing program was developed, and applied to 2nd grade elementary students. Two 2nd grade elementary school classes in Seoul district were selected for the current study. A Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design was applied. The experimental group adopted the creative science writing program and the control group maintained traditional lectures for 12 classes. TTCT(Torrance Test of Creative Thinking) figural test and a scientific attitude test were conducted on both groups. According to the analysis, TTCT score of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<.01). Among several subscales of TTCT, elaboration and resistance to premature closure was especially improved. Also, scientific attitude scale of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<.01). Among subscales of scientific attitude, the creative science writing program was effective on improving students' open-mindedness, critical mindedness, cooperation, voluntariness, and endurance. Gender was not a factor in the improvement of both students' creativity and scientific attitude.

For this study, we reviewed theoretical background of STEAM education and domestic and international case studies in STEAM education. By doing so, we developed and applied the STEAM Education Program through the use of Scratch. This program is designed for the 3rd and 4th lesson of 6th graders' science in elementary school. As a result, the creativity index and positive attitude about science of the students who went through the researched program increased with meaningful difference compared to that of the sample population. The result of this study shows that the STEAM Education Program, using Scratch, can improve creativity. And it is sure that it brings positive changes for the science-related affective domains.

A science program based on constructivism was adopted to 24 preschoolers during 13 classes in a semester. Performance in TTCT and science problem solving tasks were measured before and after the program. When their performance was compared with that of the control group in the same educational centers, it was shown that they outperformed in both creativity measures and science problem solving tasks. There was no gender difference in the effect of this science program.

The purpose of this study is to identify a domain-specificity of the scientific creativity and the component of scientific creativity. Conducted from theoretical study, this study suggests that a domain-specific view of creativity offers a more useful and constructive components of scientific creativity based on the literature associated with the component of scientific creativity. Scientific creativity has a domain-specific component and so there is need to distinguish scientific creativity from creativity in general. As a result, scientific creativity is different from other creativity it is concerned with scientific knowledge, science process skill, creative scientific problem finding and solving and so on. And since scientific creativity is a kind of ability, it is possible to improve through a scientific creativity program.

The results of this research are as follows: first, teachers' creativity personality, teacher's self-efficacy on self-regulation, and the teacher's role for children's creativity improvement had significant differences according to teachers' general background. Second, it appeared that teacher's creativity personality and self-efficacy meaningfully influenced the teacher's role for children's creativity improvement. Teacher's curiosity, and self-efficacy on self-regulation affects teacher's role in improving children's immersion/ durability, flexibility and delicacy.

A new business venture faces intense competition in a dynamic environment. To survive, new business ventures and established companies both need to generate creativity and significant new ventures to be highly competitive and have high levels of performance. In this study, we examined new business ventures that determined their competitiveness and performance generated from entrepreneurial creativity and mediated by ambidextrous innovation. This research used survey data collected from 143 Indonesian's new business shipping agencies, which was collected using an online survey and analyzed through structural equation modeling. The results showed that entrepreneurial creativity in new business ventures is positively associated with competitive advantage but not significant to create a competitive advantage. In contrast, entrepreneurial creativity is positively associated with firm performance. This result indicates that efforts to generate entrepreneurial creativity are not sufficient to create a competitive advantage despite having a significant influence on firm performance. However, entrepreneurial creativity is significantly and positively associated with firm performance and competitive advantage when mediated by ambidextrous innovation. The findings of this study suggest that the competitive advantage of a new business venture in facing intense competition in a dynamic environment condition can be overcome by generating strategic action in the form of entrepreneurial creativity and ambidextrous innovation.
