Using the ADDIE Model to Teach Creativity in the Synthesis of Raw Materials

Abstract

The goal of this study was to create a training program based on the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) model (AM) that would help students develop creative skills related to the synthesis of raw materials, and to evaluate its effectiveness compared to a more traditional training program. The sample for the study was made up of 62 art education graduate students at King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. The study used a semi-experimental approach which was considered suitable. The study tools consisted of a scale of creativity skills related to the synthesis of raw materials (SCSRSRM) developed by the researchers. The study found that there is a close relationship between creativity and training using the AM, which allowed the trainees to go back to previous steps when they feel that there is a gap between their mental perceptions and reality while building the artistic work. The AM program also helped trainees to improve their educational methods and plan to acquire knowledge and develop their creative skills in the field of raw materials synthesis.
