Meta-Creativity: What Is It and How Does It Relate to Creativity?
Mevarech, Zemira R.; Paz-Baruch, Nurit
Metacognition and Learning, v17 n2 p427-441 Aug 2022
The purpose of the present study was to explore the extent to which students with different levels of creativity also differ in their implementation of metacognitive and meta-creative processes. Participants included 221 students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 (104 girls, 117 boys; mean age = 10.5; SD = 0.84). Creativity was assessed using the Unusual Uses of a Cardboard Box Test (UUT; a segment of the Torrance Test for Creative Thinking; Torrance, 1974). A self-reported student questionnaire assessed metacognition and meta-creativity. Results indicate significant differences between students with high, medium, or low levels of creativity on the meta-creative measure but not on the metacognitive measure. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
