Research Abstract

The Relative Contribution of Creative Cognitive Processes in Predicting Creative Problem Solving and Creative Self-Efficacy for Teachers of Children with Intellectual Disability. Abstract: The current research aims to identify the role of creative cognitive processes (ideas manipulation, mental imagery, flow, analogical thinking, idea generation, and incubation) in predicting creative problem-solving and creative self-efficacy for teachers of children with intellectual disabilities. the research sample is (613) teachers in schools and centers for children with intellectual disabilities their average age is (37.83) years, and their average years of teaching experience is (7.62) years. The descriptive approach is used, and the current research uses the creative cognitive processes scale by Miller (2014) adapted by Marwa Baghdadi (2019). the creative problem-solving scale by Khamcharoen, et al.(2021) adapted by the researcher, and the creative self-efficacy scale by the researcher, and using correlation coefficients and gradient multiple regression analysis, the study concluded that there is a Statistically significant correlational relationship between creative cognitive processes and creative problem-solving and each of as well as the ideas manipulation, flow, analogical thinking, idea generation, incubation, and mental imagery, with a significant positive contribution rate of (0.793), (0.809), (0.812), (0.817), (0.820), (0.821), respectively in predicting the creative problem-solving، There is also a statistically significant correlation between the creative cognitive processes and the creative self-efficacy of the ideas manipulation, analogical thinking, incubation, flow, idea generation, contributes to a significant positive contribution rate of (0.720), (0.740), (0.749). ), (0.753), (0.757), respectively, in predicting creative self-efficacy and There are direct and total constructive causal effects for the relationships between creative problem-solving and creative self-efficacy as dependent variables, and creative cognitive processes as an independent variable. Keywords: Creative cognitive processes - Creative problem solving - Creative self-efficacy - Teachers of children with intellectual disability.
