Author: Ling Long Tsai
Abstract: This study focused on searching creative ideas for developing the event concepts by implementation of SCAMPER checklist. Fifty-six students were recruited to join the creative thinking workshop and eight groups were formed to design fun runs by team’s choice. The researcher taught students creative thinking skills by a SCAMPER presentation; the researcher also gave each team a worked example to follow. After a group discussion, eight creative event concepts were produced. The results showed that a short training of SCAMPER technique, and providing a worked example after learning could really enhance idea generation efficiency. The worked example could guide the creators to produce practical views, and also save time on the idea development. Under the observation of the group discussion, the researcher also discovered that prior knowledge about the development issue could affect fluency of creative thinking.
