How are Creative Abilities Related to Meta-Learning Competences?

Abstract

This correlational study explored the relationship between creative abilities and selected meta-learning competences. The study was conducted among 250 first-year undergraduate and graduate students who solved the Test for Creative Thinking - Drawing Production and filled in the My Learning Questionnaire. The results demonstrate a statistically significant correlation between students' awareness of their own learning and their creative abilities as well as a positive link between creative abilities and level of knowledge about human learning. These relationships were not moderated by the level of studies - the links among undergraduate and graduate students were similar in the case of self-awareness of learning and knowledge about learning.
