Based on the ecological systems model of creativity development, this study aimed to develop three inventories for determining factors that influence pupils' technological creativity. The three inventories were: Inventory of Personal Factors in Pupils' Technological Creativity Development (IPF-PTCD), Inventory of Family Factors in Pupils' Technological Creativity Development (IFF-PTCD), and Inventory of School Factors in Pupils' Technological Creativity Development (ISF-PTCD). This study employed a quantitative confirmatory approach to develop the above inventories. In other words, before analyzing the reliability and validity of the test items, this study used the scores on a technological creativity test as the criterion for choosing appropriate items for the inventories. The participants in this study included 2166 pupils. The main instruments used were the IPF-PTCD, IFF-PTCD, and ISF-PTCD. The findings suggest that the developed inventories have good internal-consistent reliability, and the factors in each inventory have a medium to high level of correlation. Moreover, the developed inventories have good construct validity, and each item as well as each factor can effectively discriminate the high-creativity pupils from the low-creativity ones. The IPF-PTCD, IFF-PTCD, and ISF-PTCD included four, two, and four factors, respectively. |
