A Study of Creative Concept Design Capability and Inquiry Capability Scale Development

The use of innovative teaching methods to improve teaching effectiveness is essential for achieving education growth. The purpose of this study was tried to understand the effect of different innovative teaching methods applied among participants. Two innovative teaching methods (IGCS and ILM) were used in the fields of design and engineering students. By developing creative concept design capability and inquisitive capability scale, the researcher underwent a comparative study on the overall curriculum experiment. The participants in this study include 35 industrial design students, 39 students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and 109 students from the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, 183 students in total. According to the research results, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. The course of the teaching experiment possessed a certain degree of rigour. The research results shall serve as a reference for a creative theme-based production course; 2. Both creative concept design scale and the inquiry capability scale developed in this study were tested applicable for future teaching experiments to evaluate students' creative capability and inquiry capability.
