從造形創作到邏輯思考與空間掌握－－Soma cube積木活動的經驗省思

From Form Creation to Logic Thinking and Space Mastery－Experience and Introspection of a Soma Cube Activity

積木是啟發學童創造力與思考力的有效教具。Soma cube 積木源起於數學與物理學的理論應證，相較於七巧板或樂高積木的堆砌與創作，更多了邏輯思考及空間掌握的因素，若不事先細心思考空間與結構，不容易排列出腦中想像的造形。本研究引用其理性基礎，用於造形創作活動，培養學童在造形創作時的邏輯思考與空間掌握能力。由淺入深引導學童，透過一系列學習活動，進而激發創造能力。創意設計產業未來需要的是能夠整合應用的跨領域人才及培養環境，本研究認為透過有趣及寓教於樂的學習教具，加入感性與理性兼具的學習活動，能夠適度激發學童的造形創作能力，也在其心靈思維中種下整合創作力的幼苗，成為未來的創意人才。

Bricks are effective teaching aids for enlightening creativity and thinking of school children. Soma cube was originated from mathematics and physics. It requires logic thinking and space mastery to create the form in mind. This study uses Soma cube as teaching aids to develop both logic thinking and space mastery in form creation activity. Learning activities are planned carefully to stimulate creativity. Multi-disciplinary talents and cultivating environment are necessary in the creative design industry. Interesting brick teaching aids can be used in edutainment. Activities with sense and sensibility can properly arouse children’s form creativity. With the integrated creativity learnt from brick activities embedded in mind, the children will become future creative talented expertise in the design industry.
