Emergency situations are generally described as combining both threat and time pressure. Creative solutions to deal with such situations are important. The present studies (N[subscript total] = 1190) investigated how people are able to produce creative solutions in an emergency. Our first study was correlational, and assessed individual creativity…

Crediting Vygotsky in introducing perezhivanie, I argue that perezhivanie acts analogously to reflection in problem solving and much beyond that and can be used as a developmental tool for teachers. Analyzing teacher's perezhivanie, a "mentor" can better understand their practice. Teachers' perezhivanie is a psychological reaction to a…

In the present study, we explored whether future teachers considered spatial skills to be built up slowly and incrementally (incremental view) or considered spatial skills to be an innate, static aptitude (entity view). We also examined whether these views were associated with personal spatial skills, confidence in spatial problem-solving, or…

Although adolescence is characterized by increasing individuation, parental support represents an important resource especially in early adolescence. This multi-informant study examined the role of parental self-efficacy in providing emotional and instrumental support when early adolescents partially learned from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.…

ABSTRACT Childhood maltreatment increases the risk of peer victimization in middle school students, yet the specific link between them remains unclear. This study used latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify maltreatment subtypes and examined how coping strategies moderated their relationship with different types of peer victimization, comparing…

In massive open online course (MOOC) environments, computer-based analysis of course reviews enables instructors and course designers to develop intervention strategies and improve instruction to support learners' learning. This study aimed to automatically and effectively identify learners' concerned topics within their written reviews. First, we…

The rapid digital turn tested universities' resilience like never before. New modes of survival and creative actions were required to cope with the COVID-19 crisis and the extreme upheaval of established ways of teaching. While prior research has explored organizational resilience and creativity separately, their interconnection remains…

High-order thinking skills are crucial in pursuing competency mastery within Islamic higher education. A viable approach to attain these educational goals is implementing the Peer Instruction strategy. Nevertheless, a comprehensive model for peer instruction in blended learning environments still needs to be developed. This research seeks to…

The purpose of this study is to find a way to improve students' performance to solve physics problems by inducing changes in emotion via immediate feedback. To this end, in 2016, we conducted an experiment, doing an interview and survey consecutively. The participants were five second-year male students attending a private high school in Seoul,…

Online training to improve problem-solving skills has become increasingly important in management learning. In online environments, learners take a more active role which can lead to stressful situations and decreased motivation. Gamification can be applied to support learner motivation and emotionally boost engagement by using game-like elements…

The flexibility of the Delphi Technique has enabled its application across a wide range of fields to facilitate problem solving, decision-making and consensus-building. However, flexibility brings with it a corresponding lack of detailed methodological guidelines, and the rigour of Delphi studies has been questioned. This paper presents a recent…

This study aims to evaluate the effect of adventure education programs on resilience enhancement among first-year undergraduate students. The researchers designed adventure education courses using a benefits-based management activity planning model. An analysis is conducted using quasi-experimental and pre- and post-test non-equivalent group…

The present study used process data from a computer-based problem-solving task as indications of behavioural level of test-taking effort, and explored how behavioural item-level effort related to overall test performance and self-reported effort. Variables were extracted from raw process data and clustered. Four distinct clusters were obtained and…

The flipped classroom approach has become one of the renowned instructional approaches in recent years. However, without proper educational tools to support students when they participate in classroom learning, their learning performances may not be as good as expected. In this study, a collective problem-solving promotion mechanism is proposed to…

In this paper we studied the personal mathematical work of 14 students in initial teacher training, in their first year of studies at a public university in Chile, based on two tasks on complex numbers. These tasks were set in a Computer Aided Assessment System (CAA) based on Moodle and Wiris and it was proposed to solve them using different…
