In this study, the relationship between the perception of 'scientific creativity' and 'scientific creativity education' of pre-service elementary school teachers was explored, focusing on the creativity within and between the framework. Within-frame creativity is divided into theoretical creativity and experimental creativity that operate within the paradigm, and between-frame creativity refers to theoretical creativity that brings about paradigm shift. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, and the analysis was performed based on the categories within and between the frames. As a result, pre-service elementary school teachers mainly understood scientific creativity as the scientific creativity within a frame. And they consider scientific creativity in various ways in experimental and theoretical creativity aspects within a frame. On the other hand, they thought that scientific creativity education was possible in terms of experimental creativity within a frame. Based on the results of this study, we would like to discuss the attributes of scientific creativity that can be considered in science education and its educational direction.

The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of the science lesson emphasized creativity and character on the creativity and science related attitudes of elementary school students. To conduct this study, 'Unit 1. Weighing', which is a part of content of 4th grade science text book, was analyzed and 11 science lessons emphasized the elements of creativity and character were developed. One experimental group and one control group of 4th grade students were selected to perform a prior investigation. Then the experimental group attended developed science lessons and the control group attended the traditional science lessons based on the text book and teacher's guide. After conducting lessons, a post investigation was performed for each group and the results were analyzed to produce the following conclusions. First, the science lesson emphasized the creativity and character was more effective than traditional one to improve students' creativity. Especially, fluency, originality and abstractness in sub-elements of creativity, were improved meaningfully. Second, the science lesson emphasized the creativity and character was more effective than traditional one to enhance students' science related attitudes. Especially, in sub-domain, the attitude about scientific research and the application of scientific attitude were enhanced meaningfully. Consequently, science lesson emphasized the creativity and character was thought to have a positive effect on improving the creativity and science related attitudes of elementary students.

In this paper, we primarily focus on the perspectives about creative process, which is how mathematical creativity emerged, as one aspect of mathematical creativity and then present a desirable task characteristic to measure and program characteristics to develop mathematical creativity. At first, we describe domain-generality perspective and domain-specificity perspective on creativity. The former regard divergent thinking skill as a key cognitive process embedded in creativity of various discipline domain involving language, science, mathematics, art and so on. In contrast the researchers supporting later perspective insist that the mechanism of creativity is different in each discipline. We understand that the issue on this two perspective effect on task and program to foster and measure creativity in mathematics education beyond theoretical discussion. And then, based on previous theoretical review, we draw a desirable characteristic on instruction program and task to facilitate and test mathematical creativity, and present an applicable task and instruction cases based on Geneplor model at the mathematics class in elementary school. In conclusion, divergent thinking is necessary but sufficient to develop mathematical creativity and need to consider various mathematical reasoning such as generalization, ion and mathematical knowledge.
