普羅大眾說出「創造力」的語言及其反映的思維：以2003年臺灣6－19歲社群為例

Taiwanese Youth's Language of and Thought on Creativity

是誰的創造力正被推動之於全民？而普羅大眾的創造力又是什麼？這些重要問題在提升創造力成為目前台灣全民運動之際仍少見嚴正的面對。本研究目的在透過問卷調查與內容分析法，探究6-19歲台灣普羅大眾說出創造力的語言及其反映的思維、及其對英美學術社群說出創造力的語言之認同度。研究結果顯示：（1）獲得13-19歲社群高度認同的創造力存在狀態與特徵，與學術社群語言中強度高者多不相同；（2）對於6-19歲社群而言，創造力奇妙地存在於任一獨特的人類個體中，以不可思議的能力或感覺、或以突發或意想不到的想像出場，以豐富變化的點子或構想現身，也可以某種新奇好玩有趣可愛的東西、以前所未有別人還沒想到的發明、或以某種隨意自由卻與眾不同的具體行動來展露自己的存在；（3）6-19歲社群說出創造力的語言及其反映的思維較學術社群更為多元、反映自我、重視趣味性；學術社群所說出的創造力則浮現其社會化的記憶、實用主義的期許、理性主義成人的圖像、以及對現代性的旨趣；（4）6-19歲社群對某些創造力存在狀態與特徵的認同度受性別、年齡與教育程度所影響。

Creativity is currently one of the hottest issues in the educational and social movements. But, little attention is paid to the fundamental question such as: By whom is the public's creativity facilitated? And, what on earth is the public's creativity anyway? Through survey, this research uses qualitative and statistical methods inquiring（1） the 6-19 age-level Taiwanese public's words expressed for "creativity" and the thought embedded behind, and（2） their agreement extent towards those of the Anglo-American academic's. Findings include:（1） the 6-19 age-level public's words with higher agreement extent on the states and characteristics of creativity are mostly different from those of the academic's.（2） As to the 6-19 age-level public, creativity miraculously exists in each particular individual, appears as the capability, feeling, sudden or unexpected imagination, playacts as the rich and changeable idea, or shows its existence through the novel, interesting or cute things, discoveries, and concrete but free actions.（3） Their thoughts about creativity are much more polycentric, reflect images of their age, and especially emphasize the attribute of amusement. On contrast, memories of socialization, pragmatic expectations, images of a rationalistic adult, and interests towards modernity emerge from the language of the academic.（4） The 6-19 age-level public's language about the states and characteristics of creativity is significantly influenced by the gender, age, and educational degree.
