Correlation between Psychomotor Skills and Creativity among Secondary School Students and Future Teachers

The mediating role of motivation for creative performance of cloud-based m-learning

“…The main characteristics of creative products are novelty and usefulness (Miron-Spektor & Beenen, 2015), although the features might vary slightly according to professional field. For example, the features of creative products in the fields of engineering and visual design might differ (Honzíková & Krotký, 2017;Miron-Spektor & Beenen, 2015;Vuletic, Duffy, Hay, McTeague, & Pidgeon, 2018). Furthermore, the purpose of product creativity assessment can also vary.…”

“…Empirical research has also shown that adopting appropriate teaching strategies can effectively improve learners' creativity and motivation (Hong, O'Neil, & Peng, 2016). According to relevant literature, motivation is necessary for creativity and can be used to predict creative behaviour (Amabile, 2012;Gajda, 2016;Hennessey, 2015;Honzíková & Krotký, 2017). However, the predictability of motivation for creative performance is not as strong (An et al, 2016).…”

Motor Development and Painting Creativity of Primary School Children

“…This difference in the results of the two surveys can be explained initially by the fact that the surveys were conducted at different ages. The present study concerned students aged six to seven years, while the research of (Honzikova & Krotky, 2017) concerned students aged 10 to 14 years as well as students. According to (Xanthakou, 2011), a decline in the creative ability of the child during the 9 th to 10 th year of life has been observed, as a consequence of school conditions that discourage creative thinking.…”

“…The children's learning development in school is approached through different educational activities (play, theoretical knowledge, work activities, practical skills, etc.) which offer several stimuli in a natural way for the development of creativity in children (Honzikova & Krotky, 2017).…”

“…According to a study by (Honzikova & Krotky, 2017) conducted in the Czech Republic and had correlated motor development with creativity, it was found that: a) People with high performance in creativity tests weren't found to have high scores in their kinetic development too, b) Motor development is stable or does not change significantly even when repeated at another point and time and c) The performance of creativity may be different each time. The very small number of published works both in the international and in the Greek scientific field directed us to investigate the relationship between motor development and the creativity of school children.…”
