Abstract

This article evaluates the impact of an Art-based program, which consisted in bringing artist to do workshops in public schools, on academic achievements, creativity (i.e., the skill) and the external manifestation of creativity in action (i.e., creative behaviors). The main contribution with respect to previous literature is a quasi-experimental design-propensity score matching-that makes the causal link between these aspects more plausible, and which had a sample of 297 children between 14 and 16 years old. Four main findings are derived from the empirical investigation. First, substantial practice is crucial. Participation in at least two semester-length workshops is a necessary condition to observe significant impacts. Second, participation has a significant impact on academic achievements. Grades increased by 0.61 standard deviations (sd) for language, by 0.36 sd for math, and by 0.33 sd for art. Overall GPA increased by 0.55 sd. The program also increased participant willingness to consider postsecondary education. Third, the impact of the art-based program on various innovative graphical psychometric measures of creativity was positive and significant. Fourth, related to creative behaviors, the program had a positive impact on certain cultural activities, such as time spent watching films at home and creating cultural goods (e.g., handicrafts, poetry, music). In conclusion, our study presents substantial evidence on the effective enhancement of creativity, the fostering of creative activities, and the improvement of academic performance through the deployment of art-based programs.

中学艺术课程对学习成绩、创造力和创造性行为的影响。
本文评估了一个以艺术为基础的项目对学术成就、创造力(即技能)和创造力在行动中的外在表现(即创造性行为)的影响,该项目包括邀请艺术家在公立学校参加工作坊。与以前的文献相比,主要的贡献是一种准实验设计倾向得分匹配,它使这些方面之间的因果关系更加合理,该研究以297名14至16岁的儿童为样本。实证研究得出了四个主要结论。首先,实质性实践至关重要。参加至少两个学期的研讨会是观察重大影响的必要条件。其次,参与对学术成就有重大影响。语言成绩提高了0.61标准差,数学成绩提高了0.36标准差,艺术成绩提高了0.33标准差。总体平均成绩提高了0.55标准差;该项目还提高了参与者考虑高等教育的意愿。第三,基于艺术的节目对创造力的各种创新图形心理测量的影响是积极和显著的。第四,与创作行为有关,该节目对某些文化活动产生了积极影响,例如在家看电影和创作文化产品(如手工艺品、诗歌、音乐)的时间。总之,我们的研究为通过艺术课程的部署有效增强创造力、培养创造性活动和提高学习成绩提供了大量证据。
