Development of Engineering Drawing Teacher Creativity Teaching Practice Construct

Abstract

Teachers play an important role in ensuring that teaching and learning become more meaningful in an effort to produce human capital with knowledge, integrity, creative and innovative thinking in line with the development of the world today. This study was conducted due to the importance of creativity in teaching as well as the need for a guide and reference for creative teaching practices, particularly for Engineering Drawing (ED) subjects based on identified research problems. This study aims to identify the constructs and subconstructs of Teacher Teaching Creativity ED. Accordingly, a fully qualitative method through expert interviews was used. A total of four experts with specific expertise and experience in the field of ED teaching were appointed to participate in semi-structured interviews. Interview findings were analysed using the saturated data analysis method. Subsequently, the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) was also employed to obtain expert agreement on the list of constructs that had been identified. Three experts were appointed to carry out the FDM process. The findings of the study indicate that there are five main constructs that need to be given attention in practicing creativity in the teaching of Engineering Drawing teachers, namely, planning creative teaching and learning, guiding, managing, developing a creative community as well as evaluating and assessing. It is hoped that these obtained constructs can be used as a reference to continue the study of developing a framework for teachers' teaching creativity as a reference and guide in practicing creative teaching in the future.
