Visible thinking and design thinking are two approaches that have drawn attention. This study integrated these approaches into the teaching of creativity, by which we developed and evaluated the effects of "Making Creative Thinking Visible" (MCTV) on the learning of creativity and creativity mindsets among college students. Five course…

How are ideas born? Contrary to commonly held beliefs, creative performance, like any goal-oriented action, requires understanding and managing one's own cognitive processes -- thus, efficient metacognition. Recently, a systematic framework of creative metacognition (CMC) has been proposed, assuming the relevance of metacognitive knowledge,…

Past research holds that curiosity motivates creativity via two primary mechanisms--exploration and absorption. We propose that vitality is a more fundamental mechanism integrating them. According to the self-determination theory, curiosity fuels vitality as it aligns with the natural inclination toward autonomy, competence, and relatedness. It is…

In the pursuit of innovation, the critical role of deliberate practice in enhancing employee creative behavior is examined, considering the influences of harmonious entrepreneurial passion and the importance employees perceive in innovation within their organizations. This investigation, grounded in self-determination theory (SDT) and social…

Creators, creation, and audience are the main pillars of the creative process. This study offers an integrative vision that includes the three main components of the creative process by proposing a seven-stage creativity framework in design education. To bridge the gap between theory and practice, the proposed framework was applied in a major…

University students are increasingly using generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools in creative tasks. Drawing from the literature on AI-human interaction and team creativity, the present study developed a moderated mediating model regarding the effects of generative AI on team creativity. To validate the developed model, a questionnaire…

In response to increasing societal concerns for environmental issues, there is a growing demand for products that are both functional and eco-friendly. This study investigates how integrating nature-inspired furniture design into educational curricula prepares students for the evolving demands of the design industry. Conducted within an…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the creative arts by generating unique artistic works. This research explores the impact of catastrophic forgetting on AI systems and its implications for artistic creativity. Catastrophic forgetting happens when AI forgets previously learned knowledge due to new learning. This poses a challenge for…

Leader's fear of power loss may motivate novel antisocial behavior toward employees. In this study, we hypothesized a positive relationship between leader's fear of power loss and leader's engagement in malevolent creativity toward employees (i.e., creativity used for harming employees). We also hypothesized that this relationship is moderated by…

This study identifies the configurations of personal and situational conditions that promote or inhibit creativity. We adhere to the Interactionist Model of Creative Behavior and Complexity Theory, adopting a qualitative research design. Data were collected via an online survey from 197 employees in the research and development departments of…

Historically, schools were solely places of learning, but this is changing. Schools are now "dwelling spaces" where individuals spend much of their day developing and connecting. This book highlights the educational quality of these spaces, seen as both relational systems and physical objects shaped by educational intentions. The book…

Creativity is an imperative skill for today's learners, one that has important contributions to issues of inclusion and equity in education. Therefore, assessing creativity is of major importance in educational contexts. However, scoring creativity based on traditional tools suffers from subjectivity and is heavily time- and labour-consuming. This…

This study introduces a Comprehensive Scientific Creativity Assessment (C-SCA) instrument and empirically tests its reliability and validity. While existing instruments to measure scientific creativity generally focus on a single dimension, such as divergent thinking, the C-SCA incorporates scientific knowledge, motivation in scientific creativity…

This paper explores the impact of a digital fabrication course on the development of digital fabrication skills and creativity. The course focused on open-ended prototyping and aimed to investigate its effects on students' motivation, enjoyment, and confidence. Students' creativity levels were measured using a creativity test at the beginning and…

An investment perspective on creativity, proposed 30 years ago, no longer seems adequate, nor do various revisions of the model made since then. The world, or at least the way many people experience it, has changed and so have the challenges for creativity. In particular, creativity is being used to increasingly greater effect in negative ways and…
