以創意思考教學提升學生專利申請

Using Creative Thinking Instruction to Improve Students in Patent Application

本研究旨在研究一融入創造力內涵之創造思考教學策略，並經由實際教學運用，以提升學生成功進行專利成功申請。本研究以創新思考教學為主，建構完整的教學流程。在教學過程中，透過多種教學策略的活動來進行學習評量和觀察記錄學生的課堂表現和回饋。研究結果如下：透過示範增加學生專利基本知識，經由腦力激盪能激發學生更多的思考與點子。最後以討論幫助收斂學生的點子發想，找出有價值的點子進行專利寫作教學。最後，成功提升學生專利的申請。研究結論可歸納讓專利發想在創新構想方法上，提供一個新的應用方法，讓學生專利或專題教學上可以有多一份實質的助益。本研究成果為學生成功申請20多件台灣新型專利。

The present study investigated a new instructional strategy involving creative thinking integrated with creativity contents to improve students' success rates in patent application. On the basis of creative thinking instruction, we established comprehensive instructional processes, during which activities involving multiple instructional strategies were performed to evaluate student learning as well as observe and record their classroom performance and feedback. The results revealed that example demonstration increased basic knowledge of patents. Brainstorming inspired students to think and generate an increasing number of ideas. Subsequently, the students' ideas and conceptions were converged through discussion to determine worthwhile ideas for patent writing instructions. Eventually, the patent application success rates of the students were successfully increased. In summary, this study provided a novel application method for conceiving innovative patent ideas that is substantially beneficial for offering patent-related knowledge or project instruction to students. The present study assisted the students to successfully apply for more than 20 new patents in Taiwan.
