The Effect of Problem-Based Learning on the Creative Thinking and Critical Thinking Disposition of Students in Visual Arts Education. (2018, background): “However, scholars have reached a consensus regarding the definition of creativity that is new and useful (Batey, 2012; Batey & Furnham, 2006; Kaufmann & Baer, 2012; Mumford, 2003; Runco, 2007) for generating new ideas, solutions, or answers (Duff, Kurczek, Rubin, Cohen & Tranel, 2013) as related to…”
A Dynamic Definition of Creativity (2019, background): “The essence of creativity lies in bringing forth something new (Amabile, 1988; Kaufman & Baer, 2012; Mumford, 2001; Zhou et al., 2017) and the “new” originates in the mind of the creator.”
Do People Recognize the Four Cs? Examining Layperson Conceptions of Creativity (2013, background): “In addition, many studies have found differences between how experts and novices evaluate creative work (Kaufman & Baer, 2012; Kaufman, Niu, Sexton, & Cole, 2010; Lee, Lee, & Young, 2005).”
Revisiting Individual Creativity Assessment: Triangulation in Subjective and Objective Assessment Methods (2016, background): “In spite of considerable evidence of interrater reliability, some studies argued that high interrater reliability alone is not a sufficient condition to ensure assessment validity (Kaufman & Baer, 2012).”
A MODEL OF ‘CREATIVE EXPERIENCE’ IN CREATIVE TOURISM (2013, background): “As Kaufman and Baer (2012) ask, who decides what is creative?”
Furious activity vs. understanding: How much expertise is needed to evaluate creative work? (2013, background): “…of studies looking at experts, quasi-experts, and novices; although there is often not enough information about the specific level of expertise of the raters to make sweeping conclusions (see Kaufman & Baer, 2012, for a detailed discussion), quasi-experts generally show agreement with experts.”
Approaches to Measuring Creativity: A Systematic Literature Review (2017, background): “First, there is an ongoing debate about the selection of the most appropriate judges and the level of expertise needed to evaluate creative products (Galati, 2015; Hickey, 2001; Kaufman & Baer, 2012; Runco, McCarthy, & Svenson, 1993).”
Ingredients of Creativity: Originality and More (2017, background): “On the other hand, because this is not a traditional CAT study where variation is observed at the product level, emphasis was given to variation across raters, and use of creativity experts and novices were appropriate (Kaufman & Baer, 2012).”
