DEVELOPMENT OF THE EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR CREATIVITY IN THE VISUAL ARTS, SCULPTURE CATEGORY, FOR LOWER SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS AT WICHIANMAT SCHOOL

Abstract

This study aimed to 1) develop the criteria for evaluating creativity in sculptures for lower secondary students at Wichianmat School, 2) test the criteria, and 3) evaluate and improve the criteria using classroom action research methods. The process was conducted in 3 cycles, consisting of 3 steps: 1) Plan, 2) Do & Check, and 3) Act. The target group consisted of 3 people. The purposive selection method was used. The tools used were a synthesis form, group discussion topics, and a trial of the creativity assessment form/creativity assessment criteria. Data analysis included content analysis, cumulative frequency, means, and standard deviations. The research results found that: Cycle 1: Results of developing criteria found that the important components were 1) initiative, 2) fluency of thought, 3) flexibility of thought, and 4) refined thought or detailed thought. Cycle 2: Results of using criteria trials found that the results of using evaluation criteria were at the highest level overall. Cycle 3: Results of evaluating and improving criteria found that since some evaluation criteria did not have clear evaluation meanings, the criteria had to be adjusted to be appropriate and consistent with the context of evaluating students’ creativity.
