This study designs three digital picture books with a different picture to text ratios, and examines whether teaching with the digital picture books affects students’ creativity. Research subjects are 83 fourth graders in an elementary school in New Taipei City. The students are divided into a “picture book group”: 33 students read the digital picture book with a 100% picture to text ratio; “bridging group”: 22 students read the digital picture book with 70% picture to text ratio; “standard group”: 28 students read the picture book with 50% picture to text ratio. After a six–week teaching experiment, picture book reading and teaching activities on the learning form are arranged each week. Pretest and post–test of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking are administered before and after the experiment. Volunteers are requested after the course ends for a semi–structured interview. Nine experts were invited to use the consensual assessment technique for the learning form after each picture book reading. Research results found that students in the “picture book group” had better creativity and art and humanities creativity. Future studies on reading are recommended to improve the presentation of pictures in the digital picture book, as it may have a positive effect on students’ creativity. |
