Creative Self-Efficacy: An Essential Transition Skill for Students with Learning Disabilities
Smith, Jennifer Elaine
Intervention in School and Clinic, v57 n4 p256-261 Mar 2022
The ability to think creatively is a vital transition skill for students with learning disabilities in the 21st century. Participation in careers with a high level of creative thinking ability not only sets the individual student up for success but also the community in which they live. Creative self-efficacy is the belief in one's ability to be creative and is a basic component of creativity. A positive relationship is indicated between higher creative self-efficacy and higher creative production. Thus, the development of a positive creative self serves as a supportive element for students with learning disabilities in their current and future endeavors. This article describes the importance of and need for creative thinking and creative self-efficacy development in education and suggests the use of questioning techniques as a strategy for developing these important skills when working with students with learning disabilities.
