Exploring creativity in self-regulated learning and its association with academic performance
Background
Despite global acknowledgment of the importance of fostering creativity in education, there is a gap in understanding creativity in learning process.
Aims
This study examines how creativity manifests in students’ use of learning strategies within self-regulated learning (SRL) and how it relates to self-efficacy and academic performance. Specifically, we explore the relations between four indicators of creativity (fluency, flexibility, originality, and usefulness) and self-monitoring, and examine how these indicators influence self-efficacy and academic performance.
Sample
Participants were 100 undergraduate students (Mage = 19.48 years; SD = 0.86; 70 % female) from a first-year psychological statistics class.
Methods
Using a diary approach over 14 days before the final exam, participants documented their learning strategies and assessed their self-monitoring and academic self-efficacy daily. Final exam scores were recorded as academic performance. Creativity in the application of learning strategies was codified into four indicators: fluency (number of strategies used), flexibility (number of strategy categories and category switches), originality (uniqueness of strategies), and usefulness (perceived effectiveness of strategies).
Results
Dynamic structural equation models indicated that fluency and flexibility (category number) positively predicted next-day self-monitoring, while self-monitoring predicted next-day flexibility (category switch) and usefulness. Regression analyses showed significant positive relations between fluency, flexibility (category number and switch), usefulness, and academic performance. Academic self-efficacy mediated the relation between fluency, flexibility (category number), originality, usefulness, and academic performance.
Conclusion
This study illuminates the creative dimension in the application of learning strategies within SRL, highlighting how creativity dynamically interacts with self-monitoring and self-efficacy to enhance academic performance.
