| Abstract |
This study developed and applied an assessment method for scientific creativity of scientific products (i.e., scientific humor) base on analogical thinking. The creativity of science humor was divided into five categories: fluency, flexibility, usability, originality, and total creativity.
Science humor fluency, which is related to how much science humor is produced in a limited time, was evaluated using the number of students' scientific humor.
As science humor flexibility is related to how diverse the thinking is, it was evaluated using the classification criteria according to the 'form' of the analysis criteria for scientific humor of the previous research (Lee & Kang, 2018). In other words, the flexibility was assessed separately for the flexibility according to 'generation form' and the flexibility according to 'description form', and the sum of the two scores was calculated as the scientific humor flexibility score (10 out of 10).
Science humor usability was evaluated using the mean of the usability scores evaluated by one's self and two or three members of a team about one science humor that students selected as the most new and useful among their scientific humor. Two times the corresponding average was calculated by the student's science humor usability score (10 out of 10).
Scientific humor originality was calculated by using creativity factor in the scientific creativity evaluation formula of Lim (2014) to investigate how students make novel types of scientific humor. In this study, ‘n’ was the number of ideas belonging to a specific type of 'generation form', and N was the total number of ideas. And the 'generation form' originality score and 'description form' originality score were calculated for each science humor and the average of two originality scores was calculated as scientific humor originality score (10 out of 10). Based on these criteria, each student's scientific humor was analyzed and the highest originality score was calculated as the student's scientific humor originality score.
The total scientific humor creativity was calculated by using the scientific creativity evaluation formula of Lim (2014) based on originality and fluency. In this formula, the former was the originality factor and the latter was the usability factor, so the science humor creativity score and the usability score were used to calculate the science humor creativity score.
This study introduced the application of the scientific humor creativity evaluation method. This kind of scientific creativity evaluation method can provide useful implications for quantitative evaluation and effectiveness verification methods of scientific creativity in scientific products (i.e., scientific analogies, poems, humors etc.) base on analogical thinking.
