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.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate science gifted educational methods based on creativity and character by Delphi study. As a result by a total 3 round Delphi method, the concept of creativity and character education for science gifted students was to promote character development through the effectively interactive communications in the process of creative problem finding and solving. Thus this elicited the consensual agreements of experts about science gifted educational aims, methods, contents, and evaluations etc. As a follow-up research will be developed science gifted educational model based on creativity and character.

This study explored to what extent Korean science teachers perceived socioscientific issues (SSI) as an effective instructional tool for creativity and character (CreActer) education; which was recently announced as a main goal for the Korean National Science Curriculum 2009. The guiding research questions were as follows. (1)How do science teachers conceptualize the relationship between creativity and character in the context of science classes? (2) What do science teachers think about the possibility of CreActer education through SSI in science classrooms? Thirty science teachers participated in individual interviews (each lasted 20-90 minutes). In the results, the teachers' perceptions on CreActer education and SSI for CreActer education were categorized into four profiles. Eleven teachers in Profile A thought that creativity was positively correlated with character education because their understanding of creativity and character embraced a very broad range of elements. They mentioned that addressing SSI in the science classes would be satisfactory to cover those elements of CreActer education. Six teachers in Profile B mentioned similar elements of creativity and character of Profile A, but reported that, in their experience, creativity was often inversely correlated with character. However, they responded that addressing SSI would be a good way to integrate creativity and character in the science classes. Ten teachers in Profile C believed there was no relationship between creativity and character, but took a positive stance on CreActer education through SSI. Unlike Profile A and Profile B, they tended to regard character as only an interpersonal virtue. And three teachers in Profile D had a narrow perspective on CreActer education. Not only did they think creativity had no relationship with character, but also disagreed that CreActer education would be activated by addressing SSI in science classrooms. The results imply that SSI could be used as an effective instructional tool for CreActer education, but this can be possible when science teachers expand their view on CreActer education.

This study aimed to examine how prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs) perceive collaborative problem-posing (CPP) as a method to cultivate students' creativity and character in mathematics education. This is to propose the introduction of CPP at the stage of preparatory math teacher education as one of the ways to reinforce the creativity and character education capacity of PMT), and to attempt to be an opportunity to actively utilize CPP in math teaching-learning in the school field for the education of students' creativity and character. To achieve this objective, I designed PMTs taking the 'Educational Theories for Teaching Mathematics' course, required in the second year of university, to experience CPP tasks. Data were collected through questionnaires or interviews over three years on how PMTs recognized the CPP tasks as a tool to cultivate students' creativity and character in secondary schools. The results of the study are as follows. First, PMTs recognized regardless of their CPP experience that CPP might have a positive impact on improving students' ability to devise various ideas and that it positively influences students' attitudes toward building interpersonal relationships, including teamwork, respect, and consideration. Second, the experience of PMTs participating in the CPP made them more positively aware that CPP is effective in improving students' ability to elaborate on ideas. Third, the PMTs' experience of participating in CPP led to a more positive perception of the impact of CPP on the students' abilities and attitudes, namely, the students' ability to elaborate on ideas and their inner attitudes toward individuals, including honesty, fairness, and responsibility, and the attitude of students regarding logically presenting their opinions and making rational decisions. Finally, if there are downsides to the offline environment, an online environment may be more beneficial.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the direction of science gifted education based on creativity and character by perception in the gifted education field. Data was collected by in-depth interviews with nine teachers, 10 science gifted students, and their parents, individually or in groups. The results of the study showed that the participants perceived character, creativity, leadership and morality as the important capabilities to have in the future society. Also, they wanted to explore science as much as they wished, form values as a leader, and feel a sense of accomplishment through a collaborative research project. The study suggested that it needed to construct cooperative learning and self-directed scientific investigation for science gifted education based on creativity and character.

This study analysis effects of creativity character on the nation's urban areas and the competitiveness of the urban. The result is that talent of urban creativity effects on the competitiveness of the urban. However, technique and tolerance had not great effect on the competitiveness between cities. After departmentalizing the arrangement of urban creativity, Advanced services constantly appear to affect the competitiveness. Researchers of talent in 2000 and 2005, a culture artistes of tolerance in 2005 and 2009, appeared to affect the competitiveness of urban. In other words, this is changing that the indicators which is impacted on the competitiveness of the urban and each indicator's power with time. According to the result, the study suggests solutions. First, policy direction has to be setting by appropriate the character creativity in urban. Second, there needs the policy which is more focused on talent and tolerance for improving the creativity of urban. For the specific, there needs suggestion about cultural artist and researchers. Finally, considering about changing the urban creativity with time, policy direction has too be setting by reflecting this change.
