Creativity and learning have long been connected in scholarship, with emphasis on developing and facilitating personal creativity. For this Fulbright-sponsored, exploratory qualitative study, I aimed to understand how college students construct meaning of creativity where contextual constraints exist using Kaufman and Beghetto's Four C Model of…

The aim of this study is to make a bibliometric analysis of the articles on higher order thinking skills in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. Since the research topic has a universal dimension, it is considered important to describe the current situation as it will add a broader perspective to future studies on higher order…

The study aims to investigate the impact of ChatGPT on music education by evaluating creativity and perception indicators resulting from AI integration. The research is based on analyzing the effect of AI (ChatGPT) integrated into music education. To this end, a method for implementing the program in piano teaching sessions was developed, grounded…

This study examined the link between teachers' creative thinking tendencies and their creativity-fostering classroom practices in the context of STEM education. Employing a correlational research design, data were collected from 338 in-service teachers actively integrating STEM approaches into their instruction. Two standardized instruments were…

Divergent thinking (DT) ability is widely regarded as a central cognitive capacity underlying creativity, but its assessment is challenged by the fact that DT tasks yield a variable number of responses. Various approaches for the scoring of DT tasks have been proposed, which differ in how responses are evaluated and aggregated within a task. The…

Automated scoring is a current hot topic in creativity research. However, most research has focused on the English language and popular verbal creative thinking tasks, such as the alternate uses task. Therefore, in this study, we present a large language model approach for automated scoring of a scientific creative thinking task that assesses…

The aims of this study were to synthesize and evaluate the learning model in gamification environment together with cartoon animation media to promote students' creative problem-solving skills. This study was divided into three phases, (i) synthesized and evaluated the appropriateness of learning model (ii) developed cartoon animation and (iii)…

Creative thinking stems from the cognitive process that fosters the creation of new ideas and problem-solving solutions. Artificial intelligence systems and neural network models can reduce the intricacy of understanding creative cognition. For instance, the generation of ideas could be symbolized as patterns of binary code in which clusters of…

Episodic retrieval plays a functional-adaptive role in supporting divergent creative thinking, the ability to creatively combine different pieces of information. However, the same constructive memory process that provides this benefit can also lead to memory errors. Prior behavioral work has shown that there is a positive correlation between the…

In the 21st century, the ability to engage in creative thinking is of paramount importance. This study aims to explore the students' creative thinking skills after engaging in learning using Problem-based Learning combined with Digital Mind Mapping [PBL-DMM]. The study was conducted using a quasi-experimental method involving 120 Senior High…

This study aims to explore the role of perceived organizational support, proactive personality, and creativity in shaping university students' entrepreneurial intentions. Through a questionnaire survey conducted with 456 undergraduate students from three universities in Guizhou Province, we collected data on students' entrepreneurial intentions…

As pedagogical training becomes more advanced and intensive, new methods of instruction that incorporate information technology are becoming increasingly important. The purpose of this article is to investigate how using the MuseScore scorewriter to teach solfeggio affects music students' ability to think creatively. The program designed for a…

Interest in understanding creativity through Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) data is on the rise, yet researchers face methodological challenges in synthesizing findings across various constructs, measures, and datasets. Meta-analysis--a valuable methodology for synthesizing quantitative data--remains underutilized in…

Background/purpose: In response to the increasing need to foster future-ready competencies, this study investigates the relationship between computational thinking (CT) and creative thinking (CrT) in early childhood. Traditional early education often overlooks the integration of these higher-order cognitive skills. This research aims to examine…

Design and Technology (D&T) in the UK is approaching a crisis point, with declining enrolment, staffing shortages and increasing marginalisation in the curriculum. However, this paper argues that D&T is not a problem to be solved. Rather, it is a solution to be scaled. Positioned at the intersection of material practice, iteration and…
