计算思维（CT）和创造力被认为是21世纪的两种重要技能，应将其纳入世界各地的未来课程中。我们研究了这两种结构之间的关系，同时着眼于学习者的个人特征。研究了两种类型的创造力：创造性思维和计算创造力。这项研究是在西班牙的174名中学生中进行的。使用标准化的创造力测试（Torrance的TTCT）收集的数据是由从学生的日志文件中绘制的数据进行了三角测量的，这些数据在CT（Kodetu）的基于游戏的学习环境中记录了他们的活动。我们发现CT与创造力的两个结构之间有一些有趣的关联。这些关联阐明了两个创造力构建和CT获取之间的积极关联，以及两个创造力构造本身之间的积极关联。此外，我们强调了男孩和女孩之间的差异，因为在两种创造力措施中都发现女孩更具创造力。还讨论了与学校隶属关系，事先编码知识和技术亲和力相关的其他差异。
Computational Thinking (CT) and creativity are considered two vital skills for the 21st century that should be incorporated into future curricula around the world. We studied the relationship between these two constructs while focusing on learners' personal characteristics. Two types of creativity were examined: creative thinking and computational creativity. The research was conducted among 174 middle school students from Spain. Data collected using a standardized creativity test (Torrance's TTCT) were triangulated with data drawn from students' log files that documented their activity in a game-based learning environment for CT (Kodetu). We found some interesting associations between CT and the two constructs of creativity. These associations shed light on positive associations between each of the two creativity constructs and CT acquisition, as well as between the two creativity constructs themselves. Additionally, we highlight differences between boys and girls, as girls were found to be more creative on both creativity measures. Other differences associated with school affiliation, prior coding knowledge, and technology affinity are also discussed.
