3.5.5 Adaptation and Application of Thinking Creatively in Action and Movement in Hong Kong and Macao
Versions of the study of Thinking Creatively in Action and Movement (TCAM) were conducted in Hong Kong and Macao. In view of the literature, certain revisions on the original TCAM were made. In addition, demographic data were collected from the samples to establish the validity of both studies. The results showed that the interscorer reliability, test-retest reliability, and criterion-related reliability were acceptable for both studies. The positive effect of out-of-school provisions on the TCAM scores signaled the ineffectiveness of regular kindergarten education. Exploratory research on kindergarten’s creative curriculum was conducted, and the results showed a growth in children’s overall creativity.
