Technological Creativity Assessment Tool: Unlocking Students’ Creativity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Summary/Abstract: Assessing students’ technological creativity remains a challenge due to the absence of standardized, product-based tools that capture both characteristic indicators and creativity constituents. Building on literature that emphasizes the need for authentic, performance-based assessment, the study developed and validated the Technological Creativity Assessment Tool (TCAT) through a developmental research design guided by the revised ADDIE framework. It was hypothesized that TCAT would demonstrate strong validity and reliability as an assessment instrument. Implementation testing involved 260 purposively selected experts, teachers, and students of science and technology-based courses, who evaluated five student-developed projects. Six AI programs also assessed TCAT and its validation instrument. Reliability analysis using Cronbach’s Alpha produced a coefficient of 0.92, confirming internal consistency. ANOVA tests revealed no significant differences in respondent assessments across five characteristic indicators and three technological constituents, with Bonferroni Post Hoc tests supporting these findings. Automated assessments likewise showed high reliability. Results affirm TCAT’s validity and reliability as a product-based tool for assessing technological creativity. Its applications extend to curriculum design and institutional evaluation, offering a scalable model for integrating authentic assessment practices in higher education.
