Peer reviewedCalkins, Roderick P.; Welkowitz, Lawrence – Educational Perspectives, 1984
Two studies related to creativity are reported and discussed. The first examined possible relationships between problem solving, divergent thinking, and field dependence-independence in second-grade students (N=83). The second study determined that the analytical skills of 71 undergraduate students (measured by the Hidden Figures Test) may be…

Peer reviewedNiaz, Mansoor; Robinson, William R. – Research in Science and Technological Education, 1992
Compares performances of students on gas-law problems that require two distinct approaches, either the algorithmic technique or the conceptual gestalt. Indicates that student effectiveness is considerably different utilizing each approach and that training or experience with the algorithm process should not be expected to facilitate the…
