Abstract:
Inventive Thinking has been identified as one of the core skills needed by the workforce in
the 21st Century. As a result, there have been numerous efforts to develop various teaching
and learning programmes that could empower students’ ability in thinking inventively. This
study aimed to (1) record and explore, that is by using a series of inferential statistical
analyses by means of the Solomon Four-Group Design, of any shift in the participants’
Inventive Thinking abilities and dispositions after the introduction of an intervention
programme; and (2) give insights thus, to evaluate the ‘effectiveness’ of the developed
intervention programme which was incorporated in the Bahasa Melayu classes. A total of 125
students enrolled in the Bahasa Melayu Brunei-Cambridge GCE A Level in Negara Brunei
Darussalam participated in the study. In this study, their Inventive Thinking abilities and
dispositions were measured by using The Inventive Problem Solving Quiz and The Inventive
Thinking Survey Form pre and post interventions. As a result, the intervention programme
contributed to the poorer performance at the quiz by the participants in the experiment group
(M = 42.2, SD = 8.9) as compared to those in the control group (M=45.8, SD = 5.9), F (1,121)
= 5.5, p = .02). Interestingly, it was the experiment group who outperformed the other group
in The Inventive Thinking Survey Form (M = 2.8, SD = .29, as opposed to M = 2.7, SD = .4;
F (48, 1) = 5.9, p = .02).
