Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to explore the extent to which students with different levels of creativity also differ in their implementation of metacognitive and meta-creative processes. Participants included 221 students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 (104 girls, 117 boys; mean age = 10.5; SD = 0.84). Creativity was assessed using the Unusual Uses of a Cardboard Box Test (UUT; a segment of the Torrance Test for Creative Thinking; Torrance, 1974). A self-reported student questionnaire assessed metacognition and meta-creativity. Results indicate significant differences between students with high, medium, or low levels of creativity on the meta-creative measure but not on the metacognitive measure. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
