ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to propose the university classroom model for enhancing creative competence using the method of Delphi. To do this, the literature review and a case study on spaces of education and working were conducted, so that the characteristics of class environment for promoting creative competence would be identified. In addition, the expert Delphi method was carried out to propose the university classroom for creative competence. The result showed that it is necessary to establish the classroom standard for size, structure, arrangement, the color of the wall, and lighting for the university classroom for creative competence. Furthermore, autonomy, sociability, flexibility, and diversity should be implemented in the classroom environment. The creative competence the university student should improve includes flexibility, originality, sophistication, curiosity, task-commitment, and problem-solving leadership, and these elements have correlations with each other. Therefore, in establishing a university classroom encompassing these elements, the arrangement and colors shall be taken into account along with creating differentiated space depending on the study.
