Yoon Se Hwang , Mi Sook Choi
Abstract
The present study researched Sternberg`s(1997) definition of Thinking Style as interactive and reciprocal mental self-government and explored its relationship to creativity in preservice kindergarten teachers. The Thinking Style Inventory(Yoon, 1998) and the Creativity Test(You, 1996) were administered to 210 subjects. Data were analyzed by Pearson`s correlation and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 10.0 program. Thinking style profiles of preservice kindergarten teachers were confirmed by a trilateral correlation among legislative, executive, and judicial functions and a positive correlation among monarchic, hierarchic, oligarchic, and anarchic forms. There was a negative bilateral correlation between liberal and conservative tendencies. All sub areas of thinking styles were related to the creativity of preservice kindergarten teachers.
