Frerejean, J.; van Strien, J. L. H.; Kirschner, P. A.; Brand-Gruwel, S. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
Although students often appear to be skilled in retrieving and making use of information from the internet, research shows that their information problem solving skills are overestimated. They show deficiencies in many of the necessary skills, such as generation of search terms, selection of sources, and critical processing of information. It is…

Hung, Woei – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2015
After decades of research, we now know that creativity is a multidimensional construct that involves variables from the domains of personality, environment, and cognition. A construct with such level of complexity, as we know from past research, cannot be effectively learned through traditional lecture-based instruction. Rather, the formation of…
