“It’S Just Lines”: A Qualitative Analysis Of Emergent Structures And Experiences Within Steam Education Initiatives For Secondary-Level Students, John O'Meara
LASER Journal
This qualitative analysis is oriented around the experiences and discourse of high school students participating in LASER (Linking Art and Science through Education and Research), an initiative at Montclair State University in Montclair, NJ that seeks mathematics and physics education reform through an immersive and innovative approach to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) experiences. This work focuses on the concluding task of a one-day workshop wherein students are led on a campus walk to observe the local campus architecture, and then must recreate one of the observed structures within the Desmos graphing utility. Student approaches and narratives reveal …
Is There A Correlation Between Creativity And Learning Achievement? A Meta-Analysis Study, Abdul Manaf, Sintha Sih Dewanti, Socheath Mam, Endang Susetyawati, Ika Ernawati
Is There A Correlation Between Creativity And Learning Achievement? A Meta-Analysis Study, Abdul Manaf, Sintha Sih Dewanti, Socheath Mam, Endang Susetyawati, Ika Ernawati
REID (Research and Evaluation in Education)
This study aims to describe the actual correlation between creativity and learning achievement. The research method used is a meta-analysis involving 41 research titles with 9,675 respondents. This research study involved respondents consisting of elementary education students, secondary education students, and higher education students. The data analysis technique used is a bare-bones meta-analysis. Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded that there is a positive and significant correlation between creativity and learning achievement, both overall and by considering the education level of the respondents. The results of this study recommend that teachers and lecturers develop student creativity in …
Measuring Creativity In The Fermi Problem, A Type Of Mathematical Modeling, Applying Information Theory, Hidemichi Okamoto
Measuring Creativity In The Fermi Problem, A Type Of Mathematical Modeling, Applying Information Theory, Hidemichi Okamoto
Journal of Educational Technology Development and Exchange (JETDE)
Many methods of measuring creativity have been studied - mainly in psychology. In recent years, there have been attempts to incorporate such creativity into mathematical modelling, a topic handled in mathematics education. Accordingly, some studies have been trying to assess creativity in it. However, there have been no clear criteria or formulas that can be used for any problem, since a rubric has been created for each problem and evaluated individually. In the present study, to measure creativity in the Fermi problem, a type of mathematical modelling, a formula that applies information theory used in information science is proposed and …
Mapping Elementary School Students' Creativity In Science Process Skills Of Life Aspects Viewed From Their Divergent Thinking Patterns, Bambang Subali, Paidi Paidi, Siti Mariyam
Mapping Elementary School Students' Creativity In Science Process Skills Of Life Aspects Viewed From Their Divergent Thinking Patterns, Bambang Subali, Paidi Paidi, Siti Mariyam
REID (Research and Evaluation in Education)
The purpose of this study was to map elementary school students' creativity in science process skills (SPS) of life aspects in science subjects viewed from their divergent thinking patterns using written tests whose items were fitted with Partial Credit Model (PCM). The measurement used a test validated using the IRT approach published in JEE journal in 2015. The trials employed four sets of test, each comprising 20 items completed with anchor items which were fitted referring to PCM. The measurements were performed with larger scale on 14 regional technical implementation unit (RTIU) in Yogyakarta Special Province in five regencies/cities to …
Fostering Creative Ecologies In Australasian Secondary Schools, Leon R. De Bruin, Anne Harris
Fostering Creative Ecologies In Australasian Secondary Schools, Leon R. De Bruin, Anne Harris
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
This study investigates and compares elements of creativity in secondary schools and classrooms in Australia and Singapore. Statistical analysis and qualitative investigation of teacher, student and leadership perceptions of the emergence, fostering and absence of creativity in school learning environments is explored. This large-scale international study (n=717) reveals the impact of teacher behaviours, teaching environments and school leadership approaches that promote and impede the enhancement of creative, critical, and innovative thinking, organisation, and curriculum structures. Implications for Australian schools and teaching urge for secondary education to challenge current, practices, pedagogies and environments, arguing for school-based strategies and considerations that enhance …
The Influence Of Creativity Inhibitors And Collectivist Dynamics, Anthony Abidemi Olalere
The Influence Of Creativity Inhibitors And Collectivist Dynamics, Anthony Abidemi Olalere
Journal of Research Initiatives
This study examines the mediating influence of creativity inhibitors on collectivist dynamics and faculty creativity in higher education organizations. Complexity theory was employed to frame how collectivist dynamic (Complexity Interaction) and creativity inhibitor foster faculty creativity in higher education. The Partial Least Square of Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze data using the PLS algorithm, and mediating effect to assess the predictive accuracy on creativity among 73 tenure and tenure-track faculty members in a south east research-based university in the United States. The result showed that creativity inhibitors have positive influence on the interaction between complexity interaction (collectivist) …
Digital Storytelling As Poetic Reflection In Occupational Therapy Education: An Empirical Study, Lisebet S. Skarpaas, Grete Jamissen, Cecilie Krüger, Vigdis Holmberg, Pip Hardy
Digital Storytelling As Poetic Reflection In Occupational Therapy Education: An Empirical Study, Lisebet S. Skarpaas, Grete Jamissen, Cecilie Krüger, Vigdis Holmberg, Pip Hardy
The Open Journal of Occupational Therapy
Stories are powerful aids to reflection. Thus, the use of stories may be a pathway to enhanced reflective practice and clinical reasoning skills. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether and how digital storytelling can contribute to occupational therapy (OT) students’ learning through reflections on experiences from placement education. A cohort of OT students (n = 57) participated in a 2-day workshop to create digital stories. Data were generated through a questionnaire with a response rate of 100% of students who completed the workshop (n = 34). Quantitative analysis methods were used to reveal a level of agreement …
