أثر أساليب التفكير الإبداعي في تطوير الكفاية المعْرِفيَّة لدى مُعلِّمي اللغة العربية للناطقين بغيرها

The aim of the study is to reveal the extent of cognitive competence required in creative thinking and some of the techniques of creative thinking among the teachers of Arabic language for non-Arabic speakers in universities that teach Arabic in Istanbul. The random sample included (58) female and male teachers from different public and private universities. To achieve this aim we used the descriptive approach; we designed a questionnaire to measure cognitive competence. The questionnaire covered six areas that specifically measure the knowledge of creative thinking and creative action. After we confirmed the validity of the virtual and internal questionnaire, we carried out the study. The findings showed that the level of creative thinking and factors that help in the emergence of creativity were low among the sample. Knowledge of the principles and foundations of the methods dealt with in the study were also low. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the average estimates of the sample in creative thinking at (p=<0.05) after controlling for the effects of gender variable, experience or degree. In light of the results, the proposals were submitted.
