The Effects of Cloud Mobile Learning and Creative Environment on Student's Creative Performances Chen Si-Yi National Taiwan Normal University July 9, 2014 http://rportal.lib.ntnu.edu.tw/handle/20.500.12235/96663 Abstract: The Purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cloud mobile learning and creative environment on college student's creativity performance. A nonequivalent pretest-posttest quasiexperimental design was used in this research. The objects were two freshman classes selected from a public university and randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. A learning activity named Amphibious Mechanical Beast was conducted in this teaching experiment. The experimental was taught using cloud mobile learning, while the control group was taught using the traditional (usual) way. Participant student's design performances before and after the experiment were evaluated. Creative Environment Scale was used to collect data of student's perception of creative environment. Additionally, an open ended questionnaire was used to realize student's learning processes. The one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and the two-way analysis of covariance were performed in this research. After data coding, relative concepts, themes, and theories were integrated and developed. Finally, the findings were proposed according to result of qualitative data analysis. Those main results of this research were: 1.Cloud mobile learning had a positive effect on student's creative process. Most participant students thought cloud mobile device using convenient and prompt while learning. Cloud mobile learning improved student active participation, and was student-centered rather than teacher-centered. Participant student's high order thinking abilities could be improved by receiving information and discussing anytime and anywhere. Those high order thinking included problem solving, critical thinking, and creative thinking. Nevertheless, minor participant students' learning was influenced by past learning habits and insufficient devices. 2. Cloud mobile learning had positive effects on newness, elaborateness, and total aspect of creative products. 3. Perceptions of creative environment had positive effects on preparation stage and reaction stage of creative process. 4. Perceptions of creative environment which were above a certain level had positive effects on creative products. 5. Cloud mobile learning had positive effects on preparation stage of students' creative process who had lower perceptions of creative environment. 6. Cloud mobile learning had positive effects on value of students' creative products who had lower perceptions of creative environment. 7. Cloud mobile learning had positive effects on total aspect of students' creative products who had higher perceptions of creative environment. Finally, recommendations and suggestions were addressed for implementation of cloud mobile learning and future studies based on results of this research.
