Computing indicators of creativity
Kyu Han Koh, Vicki E. Bennett, Alexander Repenning · 2011
Divergent thinking has been linked to creative processes leading to innovative artifacts. Measuring creative divergence can be difficult. Across the USA, the Scalable Game Design (SGD) Project includes thousands of student participants building their own games through learning computational thinking (CT). To evaluate these games, a technique, the Computational Thinking Pattern Analysis (CTPA) [1], was developed, refined and used successfully. Under three different learning conditions, divergence was computed through CTPA, and then analyzed and explored as an indication of creativity.
