Abstract

The study aimed to develop inventive thinking scale for gifted children. The (50) items were formulated initially, which the validity of the scale was confirmed by display it to a panel of arbitration experts. The scale was applied on a pilot study consisted of 32 students of gifted children enrolled in the King Abdullah II schools for Excellence to determine the degree of items clarity, then the scale was applied on the main sample of the study that consisted of (330) students of gifted children at the King Abdullah II schools for Excellence. In light of the data analysis and arbitration procedure the final version of the scale was composed of (50) items which were distributed in six domains, they are adaptability and managing complexity; self-direction; curiosity; creativity; risk taking; higher order thinking and sound reasoning. In term the values of the correlation coefficients between each domain and the whole scale ranged between (0.705) and (0.924) with statistically significant at the level of (0.01). The reliability coefficients were verifying in two ways: The first was Test-retest method. The reliability coefficients of the Pearson correlation coefficients ranged from the results of Test-retest for the domains of scale between (0.81-0.93), while the total scale reliability was (0.94). The second method was the internal consistency coefficient of Cronbach's alpha, where the value of reliability coefficients for scale domains between (0.79-0.90), and (0.92) for the total scale. Moreover, the results of the study revealed that the level of inventive thinking was high significantly among individuals of the study sample on the scale as a whole, and on its six domains. In light of the validity and reliability significances for the scale, the scale can be considered as a scale has high psychometric properties that enable to use to measure inventive thinking for gifted children.

الملخص

هدفت الدراسة إلى تطوير مقياس التفكير الاختراعي للأطفال الموهوبين، وقد صيغت (50) فقرة بصورة أولية، حيث تم التأكد من صدق المقياس بعرضه على لجنة من المحكمين المختصين، وطبق على عينة استطلاعية تألفت من (32) طالباً وطالبة من الأطفال الموهوبين الملتحقين بمدارس الملك عبد الله الثاني للتميز لتحديد درجة وضوح الفقرات، ثم طبق المقياس على عينة البحث الأساسية المكونة من (330) طالباً و طالبة من الأطفال الموهوبين في نفس المدارس، وفي ضوء تحليل البيانات وإجراء التحكيم تكونت الصورة النهائية للمقياس من (50) فقرة، تقع في ستة مجالات هي: القدرة على التّكيف وإدارة التّعقيد، التّوجيه الذّاتي، حبّ الاستطلاع، الإبداع، تحمل المخاطرة، مهارات التّفكير العليا والمنطق السّليم. وقد تراوحت قيم معاملات الارتباط بين كل مجال من المجالات والمقياس الكلي تراوحت ما بين .705)0) و.924)0) وبدلالة إحصائية عند مستوى .01)0)، وتم حساب الثبات بطريقتين: الأولى طريقة التطبيق وإعادة التطبيق حيث تراوحت معاملات الثبات بحسب معامل ارتباط بيرسون بين نتائج التطبيقين، للمجالات ما بين (0.81 – 0.93)، بينما بلغت درجة ثبات المقياس الكلي (0.94)، أما الطريقة الثانية، فقد استخدم فيها طريقة ألفا كرونباخ، فتراوحت قيم معاملات الثبات للمجالات بين (0.79 –0.90)، و(0.92) للمقياس الكلي. كشفت نتائج الدّراسة ايضاً أنّ مستوى التّفكير الاختراعي كان مرتفعا بدرجة كبيرة لدى عيّنة الدّراسة، على المقياس ككل، وعلى المجالات الستة. وفي ضوء دلالات صدق المحتوى والبناء ومعاملات الثبات يمكن اعتبار المقياس متمتعا بخصائص سيكومترية تمكن من استخدامه في قياس التفكير الاختراعي للأطفال الموهوبين.
