淺談教師創造力與創造性人格特質對教學效能的影響─以幼兒教育為例

The Initial Research on the Effect of Teachers' Creativity and Creative Characteristics to Teaching Efficacy- Using the Early Childhood Education as an Example

教師教學效能在教師的專業發展上扮演著重要角色。一位教學效能高的教師能知覺到他對學生學習經驗、成就及學習動機有關鍵性的影響(Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk Hoy, 2007)。教師專業能力並不是構成教師教學效能的唯一要素，事實上教師創造性人格特質相當重要。一個具有創造性人格特質的教師較有開放的胸襟，他對環境敏覺度較高，也較勇於冒險，解決問題的能力較佳。本文同時對於幼教師如何提升幼兒創造力及創性人格特質提出具體的方法及建議。

Teaching efficacy is important in teachers' professional development. Teachers with a high level of efficacy believe that they have a strong influence on students' learning experience, achievement, and motivation (Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk Hoy, 2007). But a teacher's professional knowledge is not the only element which makes a teacher someone with high teaching efficacy. In fact, teachers' creative characteristics are important too. Teachers with creative traits are more open-minded and more sensitive to the environment. They are willing to take risks and are more capable of problem solving. These charactieristics make up the core spirit for a teacher to acheive high teaching efficacy. In this article, the author also provides some guidlines of enhancing children's creativity and creative characteristics for kindergarten teachers.
