The DadaLogica Model and Creativity in Educational Ecosystems
Vincenzo Cascino
This study examines the relationship between the DadaLogica model and divergent thinking in primary school pupils, assessed through fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The primary objective is to determine whether the model enhances creativity more effectively than traditional teaching methods and to explore potential gender differences. The participants consisted of 369 pupils, divided into an experimental group and a control group. Divergent thinking was measured using the Test of Creativity and Divergent Thinking. ANOVA analyses revealed a highly significant effect of the DadaLogica model on cognitive flexibility and fluidity. Regarding gender, the results show that while females excel in fluency (quantitative generation), males perform positively in flexibility. These results suggest that DadaLogica can enhance specific dimensions of creativity, counteracting the fragmented thinking typical of digital natives and fostering more extended and integrated cognitive modes.
