نوع مقاله : مقاله پژوهشی

چکیده

پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی تاثیر احتمالی آموزش سه تکنیک تفکر خلاق بر مهارت تفکر خلاق دانشجویان رشته زبان انگلیسی وهمچنین پیچیدگی نحوی مقالات انگلیسی این گروه انجام شده است. به منظور انجام این مطالعه نیمه تجربی ، 54 دانشجوی دوره کارشناسی رشته  زبان و ادبیات انگلیسی از دو کلاس نگارش در دانشگاه الزهرا، تهران انتخاب شدند. در این تحقیق علاوه بر کلاس معمولی نگارش، به گروه آزمایشی سه تکنیک شامل طوفان مغزیbrainstorming) )، سینکتیکس (synectics) واسکمپر (SCAMPER) از طریق یک برنامه انلاین بنام پدلت  تدریس شد  در حالیکه  گروه مقایسه، فعالیت های نگارشی فرایند محور را از طریق این برنامه انلاین تمرین کردند. پرسشنامه خلاقیت عابدی (۱۹۹۶) همراه با دو موضوع از موضوعات نگارشی آزمون تافل (لوهید، ۲۰۰۴) به عنوان پیش آزمون و پس آزمون  داده شد. علاوه بر این، پیچیدگی نحوی مقاله ها hز طریق تحلیلگر پیچیدگی‌های نحوی  لو (۲۰۱۰) اندازه گیری شد. نتایج به دست آمده نشان داد که تمرین این تکنیک ها در طول زمان  بر بهبود مهارت تفکر خلاق دانشجویان زبان انگلیسی و پیچیدگی نحوی مقالات آنها تأثیر قابل توجهی داشته است. بنابراین، تولید کنندگان مطالب آموزشی و معلمان می توانند از پیشنهادات این مطالعه بهره مند شوند.
