  • This research analyzes students' response types in the creativity assessment by using pattern block, geoboard, and pantomino. 74 students from third grade to sixth grade participated in this research. 15 minutes were given to pattern block and geoboard questions. 74 students showed 393 answers in pattern block question and 590 answers in geoboard question. In pantomino, 20 minutes were given and 54 students showed 443 types of answers. The results are as follows: First, in the students' responses, tendency of using particular piece or figure, which presents conjoining in a piece selection and positioning, showed strongly. For example, usage of hexagon and trapezoid pieces were higer in pattern block and usage of L, P, and I pieces were higer in pentomino. Second, it is confirmed that creativity's subordinate factors, fluency, flexibility, and originality, are separate from each other. To illustrate, in pattern block, three students', who showed 11 types of responses in fluency, flexibility responses were each 5, 6, and 8 types. Specially, among those studenys, only one could achieve a point in originality. Third, students' response types categorized in this research could be used for a bae-data to mark grades on originality.

  • This study was designed to investigate whether applying mind mapping in a biology class had an effect on students' creativity. Participants of this study were 165 1st grade middle school students. The pretest-post test control group design was employed. A control group was instructed with a traditional method and an exerimental group was instructed using the mind-map applied method. The units "Digestion and Circulation" and "Respiration and Excretion" were selected for this study, and each group was treated for 24 class hours. To measure student creativity, the TTCT test was used. For assessing students' level of logical thinking, the compact version of GALT was used. Test results were analyzed by ANCOVA and correlation analysis by SPSS 12.0. The creativity of students in experimental group was significantly improved than the control group (p< .01). Fluency, flexibility, and originality of students in experimental group were improved (p< .01). Students did not show any differences on creativity according to their academic achievement level or gender (p> .05) in the experimental group. Students did not show any differences on creativity according to their logical thinking level (p> .05), either. However, the students of logical thinking level in the experimental group improved their flexibility (p< .05). There was no correlation between students' creativity and their achievement (p> .05), but the creativity shows a lower correlation to performance evaluation (p< .05).

  • Based on the work of Haylock (cf [Haylock, D. W. (1987). A framework for assessing mathematical creativity in schoolchildren. Educ. Stud. Math. 18(1),59-74]) a mathematical creativity test containing items of two categories overcoming fixation and divergent thinking has been developed for Bengali medium school students with sample size 262. The items measuring divergent thinking are found highly internally consistent and there is a significant correlation between overcoming fixation and divergent thinking. Study of the factorial validity of the test by Thursstone's centroid method gives satisfactory result. Validity coefficient of the test with teachers' rating, alpha reliability and test-retest reliability of the test are also found satisfactory.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate how the mathematical creativity of middle school mathematical gifted students is represented through the process of problem posing activities. For this goal, they were asked to pose real-world problems similar to the tasks which had been solved together in advance. This study demonstrated that just 2 of 15 pupils showed mathematical giftedness as well as mathematical creativity. And selecting mathematically creative and gifted pupils through creative problem-solving test consisting of problem solving tasks should be conducted very carefully to prevent missing excellent candidates. A couple of pupils who have been exerting their efforts in getting private tutoring seemed not overcoming algorithmic fixation and showed negative attitude in finding new problems and divergent approaches or solutions, though they showed excellence in solving typical mathematics problems. Thus, we conclude that it is necessary to incorporate problem posing tasks as well as multiple solution tasks into both screening process of gifted pupils and mathematics gifted classes for effective assessing and fostering mathematical creativity.

  • The purpose of this study is to propose the possibility of integrating creativity and character education and its need in mathematics education by developing and validating a testing tool assessing students' perceptions of mathematical creativity and character. For this purpose, we developed sixty questions in total to extract factors of mathematical creativity and character based on a literature review. Then, questionnaire data were collected for 1258 middle school students. After the collected data were randomly divided into two (n1=615, n2=643), the first group of data was used for exploratory factor analysis and the second one was employed for confirmatory factor analysis. As a result, 45 problems showing nine factors were extracted. The cognitive components of creativity includes divergent thinking, convergent thinking, imagination/visualization, and reasoning, whereas its affective components are interest, motivation, and openness. The character components contain participation, communication, responsibility, and promise. In addition, it is concluded that the developed testing tool, in which character in the model of this study impacts creativity meaningfully, has a measurement consistency which is not affected by gender and grade differences. These results have implications for a guide to curriculum development promoting creativity and character at school by showing objective and practical foundations of helping how to integrate creativity and character education.

  • This study aims to develop a scientific creativity task which science-gifted elementary students can conduct on a field trip to a botanical garden, and to analyze the results from conducting the task. For this, 38 science-gifted fifth-graders from the Science-Gifted Education Center, located at the Office of Education, participated in a field trip to a botanical garden, as a part of their program. Prior to the program, researchers developed a scientific creativity task for outdoor education program, along with science education specialists and teachers. The tasks were to observe plants, and to create something new and useful, or, in other words, scientifically creative, based on the plants' characteristics. The students could submit at most three ideas. Also, they assessed their own ideas, and selected an idea that they thought was the most creative. The results were analyzed by using the scientific creativity formula. The main findings from this study are as follows. First, it was found that the scientific creativity formula had an upward bias in assessing originality. Second, the students tended to assess the usefulness of their own ideas more generously. Third, the correlation between self-assessment results and scores from the scientific creativity formula for originality was r=.43. Fourth, in formula-based assessments, the correlation between originality scores and usefulness scores was relatively high, at r=.56. Fifth, the correlation between a student's scientific creativity score and the number of his or her ideas was very low, at r=.23. Sixth, when the ideas chosen as the most creative by students were compared with the ideas that had the highest scores in formula-based assessments, it was shown that 8 out of 19 students (42.1%) did not choose the idea that appeared to be the most creative when graded by the formula. This study is concluded by discussing the lessons from the scientific creativity task analysis for primary science education and gifted education.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 초등학교와 중학교의 영재학생들을 대상으로 TTCT(Torrance Test of Creative Thinking)를 실시하여 창의성 영재를 선발하고, 선발된 창의성 영재들의 창의적 특성들이 초등학생과 중학생 간, 수학영재와 과학영재 간 어떤 차이가 있는가를 밝힘으로써 창의성 영재들의 창의적 특성을 규명해 보려는 것이다. 이를 위해 전라북도교육청 산하 17개 영재교육원 학생 중 수퍼영재교육을 희망한 594명을 대상으로 창의성 영재를 선발, 초등학생과 중학생의 창의성 요인의 차이 검증(t-test), 수학영재와 과학영재의 창의성 요인의 차이검증(t-test), 창의성 영재선발에 영향을 미치는 창의성 요인들의 초 중학생 간 및 수학영재 과학영재 간 차이검증(중다회귀분석)을 하였다. 연구결과, TTCT는 창의성 영재 선발과 탈락을 변별하는 역량이 있으나, 창의성 요인 중 '유창성'과 '독창성', '유창성'과 '정교성' 간에는 각각 .78, .50의 상관계수를 보여 창의성 요인의 고유성이 낮을 가능성이 발견되었다. 또 중학생은 초등학생에 비해 유창성(원 그림)과 정교성 요인(그림구성, 그림완성, 원 그림), 제목의 추상성(그림구성)이 유의하게 낮으며, 과학 영재는 수학영재에 비해 독창성(그림구성)과 정교성(그림구성, 그림완성, 원 그림) 요인에서 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 따라서 창의성 영재 선발을 위한 검사의 타당도를 높이기 위한 방법이 계속 연구되어야 하며, 학년이 높아지면서 창의성이 낮아지는 문제의 해결방법과 교과별 영재의 창의성을 기르기 위한 방안이 모색될 필요가 있다.

  • This paper takes another approach in assessing students' perception of mathematics. Instead of asking for verbal description of the students' perception of mathematics, we asked the respondents who were all college students to draw their perception of mathematics. This relatively new approach enabled students to take a second look of how they perceived math and, at the same time, explored students' creativity and provided a less austere appearance to mathematics which was taken usually in a more formal and severe manner. This approach of assessing students' perception of mathematics generated new information that could not be normally gleaned from other approaches like Likert Scale. Some drawings of mathematics of the respondents reinforced their math affect towards mathematics. For those who hated math, their drawings revealed so the same is true with those who loved mathematics. Examining the visual representations of mathematics and looking for commonalities, the researcher found a number of interesting themes that may shed some light to educators' understanding of students' math affect.
