Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
The objective of this study was to design and develop a creative thinking skills module for engineering design process at tertiary level. The study also aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed module in improving the creative ability of the engineering undergraduates. The module was developed using the ADDIE instructional design model. Mixed method was utilised during the evaluation phase at the studied university. The participants were recruited from third year engineering students enrolled in an advanced engineering design related module. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected using Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, Creative Solution Diagnosis Scale and an open-ended questionnaire. The control group comprised 30 students while 32 students formed the intervention group. Quantitative data was analysed using Paired Sample T - Test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann-Whitney U Test. The feedback from the participants who completed the intervention programme collected through questionnaires was analysed using Thematic Analysis. The findings of this study illustrated that the module was successful in improving the students’ ability in Fluency, Originality, Elaboration and Resistance to Premature Closure creative thinking abilities. The module also facilitated the students’ ability to design more creative product. The conclusion was that the creative ability of engineering undergraduates could be improved via creative thinking training. The implications from this research suggested that creativity education would be able to improve the creative ability of engineers and facilitate them in the process of designing more creative products.
