摘要

本研究在探討幼兒科學創造力實作評量分數的類推性。幼兒科學創造力的評量乃嵌入於科學創意教學中進行評估，讓幼兒在具創造經驗與創造過程的活動中發展出有意義的學習並萌發創意。實作評量包含實作任務、反應形式與評分，其中，實作任務為五個動態的簡易動手做物理活動，每一個動手做活動都透過不同的反應形式與使用不同的評量工具，來取得幼兒在科學創造力特質、心流（flow）與成果三向度資料。本研究使用的評量工具包含：幼兒科學創造力評量表、幼兒心流經驗量表與科學產品效能評分表。在以類推性理論進行量化的分析的結果，科學創造力實作評量在五個任務作業、三個評分向度的P(person)×D(dimension)×T(task)交叉設計的類推性係數（ρ^2）為.811，擁有良好的信度訊息。整體而言，幼兒科學創造力實作評量模式，有別於一般採紙筆測驗的創造力評量傳統，讓教學與評量更為貼近，符合幼兒創造力評量的趨勢，值得作進一步的推廣與應用。

The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability of an instrument for assessment of preschool children's science creativity performance developed by the researcher. To better understand children's creativity, we provided children with activities requiring imagination, and then observed their creativity in terms of both process and outcome. Different curriculum-embedded performance tasks, response formats and scoring were implemented in a three-stage teaching process for the study. The preschoolers' scientific creativity was assessed in five hands-on science activities in physics, with three assessment dimensions (trait, flow and product) applied for each activity. The Preschool Children's Science Creativity Scale, Preschool Children's Science Flow Experience Scale, and Creativity Products Evaluation Criteria were used. The generalizability coefficient (ρ^2) of the five performance tasks and three dimensions achieved .81 under the cross design of P(person)×D(dimension)× T(task). The results of the performance assessment and the findings of this study offer positive suggestions for the public to pay more attention to the potential of children for creativity in scientific activities.
