摘要

有關理工科女性與創造力之研究一向很少，本研究採用質性的案例研究探討理工科女性提升創造力的方法。研究參與者為五位畢業於國內大學的理工科系或目前仍在就讀相關理工科系研究所的女性。資料蒐集的方式包括半結構式的深度訪談、文件檢視與觀察，所蒐集的資料透過案例內以及跨案例的分析，發現五個重要的主題：持續進修、閱讀文獻、參觀展覽、自我放鬆以及人際互動等，理工科女性主要藉由這五種方法在日常生活中提升自我的創造力。本文將所發現的主題與現存的文獻相互比較討論，並提出相關建議，以期對創造力領域有所貢獻。

There has been a paucity of research addressing the creativity-related issues of females majoring in science and engineering. Through the qualitative method of case study, the present study aimed to explore the ways females majoring in science and engineering improved their creativity. Data collection involved semi-structured, in-depth interviews, document review, and observation. With within- and between-case analyses, five major themes emerged: formal and informal schooling, reading literature, visiting exhibitions, self-relaxation, and interpersonal interaction. The research participants made use of these five ways to enhance their creativity in daily lives. The themes uncovered were discussed in the context of the existing literature and the relevant suggestions were presented.
