통찰문제의 재구조화를 활용한 문제발견 검사로서의 K-RAT(Korean-Restructuring Test) 개발 및 타당화

초록

This study started with perception of importance of problem finding in creative problem solving, raised problem on limitation of problem finding measurement. The purpose of this study is to develop and to validate an alternative problem finding test based on new translation about relation between a problem finding and insight. This study suggested that problem finding measurement can be substituted for insight problem’s restructuring, based on Wakefield(1989)’s assumptive model which insightful thinking calls for problem finding. Items type of alternative Korean-Restructuring Association Test(K-RAT) as problem finding test was patterned after items in the Remote Association Test(RAT) developed by Mednick(1962). For validity of K-RAT including 48 items developed in this study, Correlation analysis was carried out to verify convergent validity. There was positive correlation(r=.451) between RAR and verbal insight problem classified with conceptual access of presentation problem in this study. The result of concurrent validity test showed that K-RAT was a valid instrument to predict the insightful thinking to measure restructuring of conceptual representation change. To verify discriminant validity of K-RAT, regression analysis was carried out to test the hypothesis the divergent thinking would be uniquely associated with insight problem solving, K-RAT but not non-insight problem solving, analytic problem solving. K-RAT and analytic problem solving were used as a predictor, to control for their shared variable. Linear regression showed that K-RAT was a unique predictor of divergent thinking(β=.407), but analytic problem solving was not. In contrast, both analytic problem and K-RAT predicted fluid intelligence and verbal intelligence.
