    Introducción.

    La investigación sobre la estructura factorial de la Escala de Dominios de la Creatividad ha sido abundante hasta ahora. El propósito de este estudio fue probar la validez de las Escalas Kaufman de la Creatividad en una muestra de estudiantes de ciencia y tecnología, y matemáticas de pregrado nigeriana.

    Método.

    Análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios se realizaron en las respuestas de los profesores de matemáticas de 337 alumnos de pregrado de ciencia y tecnología. Que contestaron a los dominios de la Escala Kaufman de Creatividad.

    Resultados.

    Los resultados de ambos análisis apoyaron la estructura de cinco factores de los Dominios Kaufman de la Escala de Creatividad Escala: académica, de rendimiento (que abarca la escritura y la música) mecánica/científico, auto-percepción y Artístico. La validez de constructo de los dominios de la Escala Kaufman recibió el apoyo de sus relaciones con el inventario de los cinco grandes en formas que fueron predichas por la teoría y consistentes con investigaciones previas. Los coeficientes Alfa y de congruencia fueron generalmente altos.

    Discusión y conclusión.

    El presente estudio proporciona validez incremental a la naturaleza multidimensional a la Escala de Dominios de la Creatividad Kaufman, reforzando así el modelo de cinco factores, académica, de rendimiento (que abarca la escritura y la música), a saber Mecánico / Científico, Auto-percepción y Artístico. Además, una versión nigeriana de la Escala de 50-item Kaufman de Dominios, en los tres principales idiomas indígenas (Hausa, Igbo, y Yoruba) es necesario crear y probar entre los estudiantes de pregrado y posgrado en las instituciones de educación superior de Nigeria

    Introduction.

    Investigation into the factor structure of Domains of Creativity Scale has been on for sometimes now. The purpose of this study was to test the validity of the Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale on Nigerian preservice science, technology, and mathematics teachers.

    Method.

    Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed on the responses of 337 preservice science, technology, and mathematics teachers to the Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale.

    Results.

    Results of both analyses supported the five-factor structure of the Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale: Mechanical/Scientific, Scholarly, Performance (encompassing writing and music), Self/Everyday, and Artistic. Construct validity of the Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale was supported by its relationships with the Big Five Inventory in ways that were predicted by theory and consistent with previous research. Coefficient alphas and coefficients of congruence were generally strong.

    Discussion and Conclusion.

    The present study provided incremental validity to the multidimensional nature of the Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale thus reinforcing the five-factor model namely Mechanical/Scientific, Scholarly, Performance (encompassing writing and music), Self/Everyday, and Artistic. Additionally, a Nigerian version of the 50-item Kaufman Domains of Creativity Scale in the three major indigenous languages: Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba need to created and tested among undergraduate and postgraduate students in Nigerian institutions of higher learning.
