The Relationship Between Teachers' Creative Fostering Behavior And Scientific Creativity Of Junior High School Students

The research on teachers' fostering behavior and students' creativity is an important subject of basic education research,and junior high school students are at the peak of the development of scientific creativity.The development of their scientific creativity is influenced by various factors in the internal and external environment.Therefore,we conduct a simple questionnaire survey of 519 students in four middle schools,which are located in city,country and township,to study how students' scientific creativity is influenced.This study is based on the theory of ecosystems and the ternary interaction.During the survey,the students' perception of teachers' creativity fostering behavior questionnaire,is adopted.In addition,the adolescent scientific creativity scale,the creative self-efficacy questionnaire,and the creative tendency questionnaire,are employed.The survey systematically examines the factors influencing the scientific creativity of junior high school students as well as the relationship between teachers' creativity fostering behavior and students' scientific creativity.The data are statistically analyzed using SPSS21.0 and AMOS17.0,and the results are as follows:(1)In terms of gender,there is a significant difference between male and female students in the dimensions of scientific experiment of scientific creativity and creative strategies and beliefs of creative self-efficacy,and there is no significant difference in other variables and dimensions.On the regional level,apart from the scientific experiment and product design dimension of scientific creativity,the belief dimension of creative products and anti-negative evaluation belief of creative self-efficacy,the confidence dimension and exploratory dimension of creative tendency,the dimensions of other variables are all significantly different in the area of the school.(2)There is a significant positive correlation between teachers' creative fostering behavior,creative self-efficacy,creative tendency and scientificcreativity of junior middle school students.(3)Creative self-efficacy and creative tendency play a chain intermediary role between creative teaching behavior and scientific creativity.In conclusion,this study verifies that teachers' creative teaching behaviors can positively predict the scientific creativity of junior middle school students,and finds that teachers' creative teaching behaviors influence the scientific creativity of junior middle school students through the chain mediating effect of creative self-efficacy and creative tendency.In view of the research results,this paper puts forward constructive Suggestions from school level and teacher level.
