Abstract
This study aimed to develop a creativity enhancement training model for printmaking major students in public art universities in Southwest China. The specific objectives were to: (1) develop and validate a creativity measurement scale for printmaking students; (2) assess the current status of creativity among these students; (3) examine how innovative climate, intrinsic motivation, and self-efficacy influence creativity; and (4) design a comprehensive training model incorporating these key components. Methodologically, this research employed a quantitative approach with a validated creativity scale constructed through expert interviews, scale pre-testing, item analysis, factor analysis, and reliability testing. Data were collected from 299 printmaking students across three public art universities in Southwest China using convenience sampling. Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical regression. Results revealed that students' creativity remained at a moderate level, highlighting the need for systematic intervention. All three factors significantly and positively influenced creativity, with innovative climate demonstrating the strongest impact, followed by self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation. Based on these findings, a comprehensive creativity enhancement training model was developed with three integrated dimensions. The model incorporates specific teaching strategies including expert lectures, collaborative learning environments, technical skill development, interdisciplinary activities, personalized projects, and constructive feedback mechanisms. This study contributes to understanding the multidimensional nature of creativity in arts education and provides a structured yet flexible framework that can be adapted to various educational contexts to enhance students' creative potential.
