[[alternative]]The Effect of Creative Thinking Teaching on the Learning of the Practical Skill Class Students at the Machineary-repair Department of Vocational High School

[[abstract]]The purposes of this study are to design an experimental unit teaching program for practical skill classes of machinery-repair department in vocational high school. By using this program, the effects of this program on creative think ability, machinery innovative design ability, academic scores and learning altitude were investigated. This study was carried out by adopting the non-equivalent control group design of quasi-experimental design, with sixty-seven students of practical skill classes of machinery-repair department in provincial Hai-San vocational high school as the object. For getting the expected results, the students were divided into two groups, which were experiment group and control group, the experiment group and control group were given eight weeks of creative think teaching program and conventional teaching program respectively, the programs were seventy minutes per week.Instruments utilized for examining include Test of creative think, Innovative design ability scale for machinery-repair, Questicmaire of learning attitude, as well as the academic scores of students. With the above four scales as the covariance, coupled with all qualitative and quantitative date which were collected during the teaching program, the results were calculated and cross-checked by use of the two-factor covariance analysis.The results show in quantitative aspect, both groups of students were not able to get a satisfactory scores on creative think ability, machinery innovative design ability, learning attitude and academic scores; while in qualitative expect, students tend to prefer the creative think teaching program.
