The Content Analysis of the Experimental Science Book of Second Grade of Guidance School based on the Amount of Attention to the Areas of Creativity and Implementing with Guilford's Mental Exercise

摘要

The purpose of this research is to investigate the content of the experimental science book of second grade of guidance school Based on the amount of attention to the areas of creativity and implementing with Guilford's mental exercise. Research method is descriptive and content analysis. Statistical population of this research was the experimental science book of second grade of guidance school. Gauges in the content analysis of this book are the Guilford's mental exercise levels and the data is analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequency calculation and percent retention. Findings of this research indicates that,there is not enough attention to nurturing the mental creativity (divergent thinking), and in distribution of sentences, images and experiments the most attention is for the convergent thinking and after that to the cognitive memory and there are few subjects about the divergent thinking. But it is slightly better in questions and activities that other subjects(sentences, images, experiments).But about evaluation thinking in all subjects(sentences, questions, activities, images, experiments) there is little attention. And in all subjects (sentences, questions, activities, images, experiments) more attention is to the convergent thinking and after that to the cognitive memory and next a little about the divergent thinking and at last with a small percentage about evaluation thinking .Therefore the amount of attention to creativity (divergent thinking) is very limited in the experimental science book of second grade of guidance school.
