This essay concerns the educational legacy of Professor Lenore (Lee) Pogonowski, who passed away in early 2022 after a long career of teaching music education at Teachers College Columbia University. In this manuscript, I discuss the instructional design model that Lee Pogonowski called the "creative music strategy." Her greatest…

Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) increases performance in some perceptual tasks. However, little is known about its effect on creativity. Although dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been postulated as an important cortical area related to creativity, the relative role of left and right DLPFC is still unclear. We aimed to…

This theoretical article proposes a unified framework of analysis for the constructs of intelligence and creativity. General definitions for intelligence and creativity are provided, allowing fair comparisons between the two context-embedded constructs. A novel taxonomy is introduced to classify the contexts in which intelligent and/or creative…

This study provides insight into the role of expertise in the process of team creativity. Existing process models, that is, the random variation model and the creative synthesis model, either fail to treat team as an independent creative entity or neglect the differentiation in the voice of individual members in team creative process. In contrast,…

Interest in creativity in mathematics education research is increasing, and the field of research is growing. Yet, research on creativity and the "notions" (we use this wording to accumulate understandings, beliefs, and ideas about the construct) of creativity that are addressed in empirical research are diverse and difficult to organize…

Despite widespread misunderstandings, B.F. Skinner did not ignore creativity. The present article first integrates Skinner's writings with some current research in creativity that focuses on the role of near associations in creative innovations. Next, Skinner's writings are integrated with the role of the unconscious in creativity, including some…

Relatively little research has addressed the positive outcomes of everyday creative achievements. Based on the Honing Theory of Creativity, the present research aimed to analyze the relation between artistic achievements and low emotion dysregulation. The second aim was to examine the mediating and moderating role of self-compassion in this…

In this article, we show how students' productive struggle on a mathematical task can lead to collective mathematical creativity. We use observable (co)actions and interactions from a video record that features three Grade 6 students in a problem-solving session to document the emergence of collective creativity leading to a mathematical solution.…

The ability to search memory for diverse contextual usages of words is proposed to play a role in creative idea generation. However, it is not yet known whether searching for more diverse contextual usages of words enhances the novelty of ideas during idea generation. In three experiments, participants were given a noun as a creativity prompt…

Creative orientation is the extent to which different individuals are drawn toward creative activities (e.g., art, music). We know relatively little about child-level creative orientation given certain testing limitations. Adult tools often measure time spent engaged in creative pursuits, but this method is unsuitable for children because their…

This paper explores innovative approaches to curriculum design and teacher education that aims to address the evolving needs of 21st-century learners. With the increasing integration of technology, the need for teacher professional development and the importance of inclusive education, this paper examines key trends in curriculum development and…

Relational art therapy implemented in a women's prison, as demonstrated by the Expressive Post program, illustrates a transformative method for overcoming psychological obstacles. Embedded in relational theory and response-based art making, this method emphasizes the establishment of a therapeutic milieu characterized by mutual empathy,…

Purpose: Creativity is not always encouraged in graduate education. It is established that PhD students need to think critically, but the emotional hurdles doctoral students face can sometimes outweigh the cognitive ones. In the authors' work with doctoral students, the authors aimed to connect the emotional with the intellectual -- the affective…

Purpose: Securing ethical approval can be a frustrating and opaque experience for some creative practice research students who may find the processes required of them not well suited to their specific inquiry. This can lead to an erosion of trust between students and their institutions. This paper aims to synthesize perspectives representing both…

Criticism has been raised about creativity researchers narrowing their focus solely to the cognitive processes within individuals. To address these concerns, this case study seeks to expand the scope of creativity research by delving into metacognitive, motivational, and emotional processes involved in collaborative creative problem-solving. The…
