Teachers' Creativity Fostering Behaviors and Students' Creative Self-efficacy: A Moderated Mediation Model

Abstract

Abstract: 1689 students from grade three to grade nine of 1 primary and 2 junior middle schools in Xian and Beijing were recruited to answer questionnaires of Creativity Fostering Teacher Index, What is Happening in this Class, Short Dispositional Flow Scale and Student's Self-efficacy Scale. A moderated mediation model was constructed to examine the relationship among teachers' creativity fostering behaviors, students' creative self-efficacy, creative classroom climate and students' dispositional flow. The results indicated that: 1)Teachers' creativity fostering behaviors significantly positively predicated the level of students' creative self-efficacy; 2)Creative classroom climate completely mediated the relationship between teachers' creativity fostering behaviors and student' creative self-efficacy; 3)The mediation role of creative self-efficacy was positively moderated by students' dispositional flow.

Key words: teachers' creativity fostering behaviors, creative classroom climate, creative self-efficacy, dispositional flow, primary and secondary school students

摘要： 采用问卷法对北京市和西安市1所小学和2所中学的小学三年级到初中三年级的1689名学生进行调查,考察教师创造性教学行为与学生的创造性自我效能感之间的关系,以及班级创新氛围的中介作用和学生沉浸特质的调节作用。研究结果表明：（1）教师创造性教学行为显著正向预测学生的创造性自我效能感;（2）班级创新氛围在教师创造性教学行为和学生创造性自我效能感间起完全中介作用;（3）学生沉浸特质对班级创新氛围的中介作用存在显著的正向调节效应。
