Abstract

Background: High-ability students require effective educational strategies. This study introduces and evaluates a curriculum enrichment programme aimed at enhancing creativity. The programme is based on a competency framework and was implemented using variations of Project-Based Learning (PBL) strategies. Method: A quasi-experimental design compared two interventions using pre-test and post-test groups. The first intervention (N = 38) involved a 12-week PBL unit focused on designing a video game using block-based programming through Scratch. The second intervention (N = 51), also lasting 12 weeks, comprised three separate projects involving vectorial design and programming of an Arduino-based robot. Both interventions used strategies for creative-thinking development. The sample included high-ability students from 8 to 12 years of age. Results: Both interventions significantly increased creativity, with no statistical differences between them. This suggests that both types of PBL interventions effectively improved participants’ creativity. Conclusions: This study suggests that PBL-based curricular enrichment programmes are effective in fostering creativity among high-ability students.

UBUIngenio:提高高能力学生创造性思维的课外丰富项目

背景:高能力学生需要有效的教育策略。本研究介绍并评估了一项旨在提高创造力的课程充实计划。该计划以能力框架为基础，并使用基于项目的学习(PBL)策略的变体来实施。方法:采用准实验设计，采用前测组和后测组对两种干预措施进行比较。第一个干预(N = 38)涉及一个为期12周的PBL单元，重点是通过Scratch使用基于块的编程设计一个视频游戏。第二次干预(N = 51)也持续12周，包括三个独立的项目，涉及矢量设计和基于arduino的机器人编程。这两种干预措施都采用了发展创造性思维的策略。样本包括8至12岁的高能力学生。结果:两种干预均能显著提高创造力，两种干预之间无统计学差异。这表明两种PBL干预都有效地提高了被试的创造力。结论:本研究显示以pbl为基础的课程充实计划，能有效培养高能力学生的创造力。

期刊介绍： Revista latinoamericana de Psicología (RLP) is a four month publication from Konrad Lorenz Fundación Universitaria. The RLP evaluates works that belong to one of the following categories: original papers (with empiric and new information) of many psychology fields (regardless of the methodology used) or qualitative/quantitative systematic reviews. Eventually it will be interested on works’ revision related to the development psychology tools or softwares, original methodology papers and researches which evaluate psychology from scientometry. The RLP is not interested in publishing non-systematic reviews or states of the art, case studies, protocols studies, hypothesis or papers proposals, letters, commentaries or essays, opinions articles, politics documents nor other sort of secondary literature. Traditionally, there have been monographics, books’ reviews and “others” published in “Mundo de la Psicología”, nevertheless these modalities will not be considered.
