Creativity and oral narrative task performance of English majors in Hungary


Metacognition in creativity

Modern cognitive psychology recognises that psychological processes involved in cognition are arranged hierarchically. At the top of the hierarchy are “the executive processes that oversee, regulate, and orchestrate the activities of cognition. These executive processes are known as metacognition” (Armbruster, 1989, p. 177). This section will examine the metacognitive processes that are believed to play a role in creativity with the help of a four-stage model of the creative process originally proposed by Wallas (1926/2014) and interpreted by Armbruster (1989). Armbruster describes goal setting as the initial stage of the creative process, although this phase is not present in Wallas’ model. The metacognitive process involved at this stage is awareness; the individual becomes aware of a goal or purpose, which will further on be a driving force behind the whole creative process.

This monograph presents research conducted in connection with the relationships between individual difference variables, like creativity and language aptitude, and the oral narrative task performance of first year English major university students. Changes in language instruction that involve greater reliance on learners' creativity imply that researching creativity as a potentially important individual variable should be imminent. The prominence of tasks in the classroom and in tests suggests that tasks and their decisive features leading to differences in task performance should also be investigated. The findings of the monograph contribute to a deeper understanding of how different individual differences contribute to oral narrative task performance on the one hand, and on the other, they shed light on the differential effects of task complexity. Therefore, the monograph might be of interest for researchers, course book writers and practising teachers alike.
