In this paper, we explore measurements of design creativity through metrics related to the processes used in designing and relate them to the metrics used in psychology for idea creativity, ie, novelty and fluency. Our goal was to test the reliability of psychometric measures of creativity to assess creativity in team design. We studied 19 teams…

Validity refers to the extent to which a given study reflects the dominant values of a research community regarding what constitutes "good" research. Methodological texts on qualitative research provide a wide range of criteria and strategies to help qualitative researchers validate their studies. Given the importance of these strategies…

Creativity and collaboration are key components of a mathematician's work, and thus in the preparation of future mathematicians, undergraduate mathematics courses should aim to develop students who can effectively work collaboratively and creatively with one another. Despite this need, research on mathematical creativity has primarily investigated…

Flow is a state of optimal or peak experience, commonly associated with expert and creative performance. Musicians often experience flow during playing, yet the neural mechanisms underlying this elusive state have remained underexplored due to challenges posed by substantial artefacts in the neural data. Here, we bypassed these issues by focusing…

Considering the pivotal role of creativity across various eras and the rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in both creative processes and education, this study introduces and provides validity evidence for the AI-assisted Creativity Questionnaire (AICQ). This new 16-item instrument aims to quantify human creative potential in…

The aim of this research is to develop a Mathematical Creativity SelfEfficacy Perception Scale for Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers. In the research, the exploratory sequential mixed method in which the qualitative and quantitative procedures are used, respectively, is preferred. The 5-point Likert type measurement tool consists of fluency,…

Education Transformation in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era demands early-childhood teachers to possess pedagogical competencies that are not only theoretical but also innovative, creative, and contextual. These competencies are essential for supporting the holistic development of young children, encompassing cognitive, social, emotional, and…

This study aims to investigate the role of social support--specifically from family, teachers, and peers--in enhancing computational thinking (CT) abilities among elementary school students. Grounded in social support theory, the scales related to teacher, parental, and peer support were adapted from the PSIA test. After ensuring their reliability…

Who should evaluate the originality and task-appropriateness of a given idea has been a perennial debate among psychologists of creativity. Here, we argue that the most relevant evaluator of a given idea depends crucially on the level of expertise of the person who generated it. To build this argument, we draw on two complimentary theoretical…

This dissertation develops and evaluates the validity and reliability of the Skills Self-Efficacy Scale for Adolescents (SSES-A), a measure designed to assess adolescents' self-efficacy in critical future skills: problem-solving, communication, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Anchored in Social Cognitive Theory and Psychometric…

This study was conducted to: 1) ascertain the validity, reliability, and feasibility of a module based on the socioscientific issue approach and design thinking model (SIA-DT), and 2) assess its effects on the entrepreneurial creative thinking (ECT) in STEM education. The first phase of ECT module validation was conducted with the assistance of…

Project-based assessment has been used to evaluate coding projects created by students for a long time. Nevertheless, there is a lack of rigorously tested project-based coding rubrics that are developmentally appropriate for early childhood. This study presented the development and testing of a coding rubric to evaluate children's creations with…

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the factors that are important for strengthening university-industry collaboration (UIC). This study also investigates the outcome of UIC in the light of creativity, skill, knowledge, and research work. Design/methodology/approach: A survey method has been used to collect data for the study. This…

Educational institutions around the world have been integrating AI into their educational practices. Many studies and reports highlight both the advantages and disadvantages of this integration. This paper focuses on the positive aspects of AI in education, specifically through the lens of a high school geometry project at a technology-focused…

Semantic distance is increasingly used for automated scoring of originality on divergent thinking tasks, such as the Alternate Uses Task (AUT). Despite some psychometric support for semantic distance -- including positive correlations with human creativity ratings -- additional work is needed to optimize its reliability and validity, including…
