Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the studies on creative teaching published in Korean journals through the content analysis method and keyword network methods. Methods TThe final 77 papers among the papers searched as keywords for ‘creative teaching’ in Korean journals were targeted. For content analysis, the 77 papers were analyzed in terms of topics and research methods using an analysis frame. In addition, 216 keywords were derived for keyword network analysis, and frequency analysis and centrality analysis were conducted using textom programs and UCINET. Results First, before 2008 the main topic of creative teaching was creative teaching methods. From 2009 to 2014, in addition to creative teaching methods, various concepts such as creative teaching behavior, creative teaching beliefs, and creative teaching environment began to emerge, and after 2015, research on creative teaching behavior increased, and new concepts such as creative teaching competency and creative teaching efficacy were introduced. Also, from 2009 to 2104, most studies on creative teaching were conducted at universities, but after 2015, studies on creative teaching at universities and early childhood institutions increased. Second, the main keywords of creative teaching research were ‘teaching method’, ‘creative problem solving’, ‘child creativity’, and ‘teacher creativity’. As a result of network analysis, ‘creative teaching behavior’, ‘creativity’, and ‘creative teaching method’ were dominant keywords in degree centrality, closeness centrality, and mediation centrality. Conclusions This study reviewed systematically research on creative teaching by period, and explored the relationship between the variables related to creative teaching. Implications for the results and future studies were discussed.
