A program designed to develop the creative potential of sixth, seventh and eighth grade students, incorporates ideas from a three-part model which conceptualizes the components of creativity as appropriate creative attitudes, various cognitive abilities, and idea-generating techniques. It attempts to increase students' awareness of, and appreciation for, change and innovation; provide exercise for creative abilities which facilitate the fluent production of original ideas; teach techniques for the systematic production of new idea combinations; and, through humor, to create a free atmosphere encouraging spontaneity and imagination. In a preliminary field test, responses to an attitude questionnaire and three divergent production tasks (such as thinking of changes and improvements for a doorknob) showed the program to be effective. Twenty-three subjects (21 seventh and two eighth grade students) who studied the program in a 10-week creative thinking course produced 65% more ideas on the divergent thinking tasks (ideas which were rated as significantly more creative) than 32 seventh grade control Ss enrolled in a creative writing course. There also was good indication that the trained Ss acquired more creative attitudes, including confidence in their own creative ability, than the control Ss. (Author/RJ)
