ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to explore the university classroom environment and develop a classroom model to promote creative competence. Based on a literature review and analysis of case studies on spaces in education and creative working places, characteristics of the classroom environment that foster creative competence were identified. In addition, expert content validity identification was carried out. The results showed that it is necessary to establish university classroom standards for a creative environment that include size, structure, arrangement, the color of the wall, and lighting. Furthermore, the classroom environment should be arranged so that aspects of such as autonomy, sociability, flexibility, and diversity can be expressed. The creative competence of the university student should improve in various ways including flexibility, originality, elaboration, curiosity, task-commitment, and problem-solving leadership. Therefore, in establishing a university classroom encompassing these elements, arrangement and colors should be taken into account, and the creation of differentiated spaces according to the area of study should be considered.
