27 The Influence of Creative Classroom Environments on the Creativity of Children Aged 10-14 Years
This study used the Creative Classroom Environment Questionnaire, Learning Motivation Questionnaire, and Judicial Thinking Style questionnaire made by the authors as well as the Creative Battery from the Aurora-a Battery to explore the mediating effect of learning motivation and a judicial thinking style on the influence of a creative classroom environment on the creativity of 10-14 years old students in China. A sample of 2007 students was obtained. The results indicated that learning motivation and a judicial thinking style played a serial mediating role in the influence of creative classroom environments on creativity while the direct effect of creative classroom environment on creativity was not significant.
