What is the role of right and left-brain in creative thinking? The current study is to address this question. Two empirical studies were performed to answer the question. First one is regarding the divergent thinking and right-brain connection. Second one is regrading the convergent thinking and left-brain connection. Empirical study showed that both of divergent and convergent thinking were asymmetrically related to creativity. Divergent thinking was connected to right-brain and convergent thinking was connected to left brain.

Customary way of thinking may be the most major stumbling block to creative thinking in basic design education in the information and network era. The basic design education was used to be based on personal experience or subjective ideas, but these days, the role of divergent thinking and convergent thinking which provide the basis of creative techniques has been closely examined. Going beyond a divergent thinking and directly starting a convergent thinking means bypassing the design process of the existing basic design education. Though preceding studies considered various creative techniques apart from divergent thinking and convergent thinking, this study presumed that complementing the most typical methods of divergent thinking and convergent thinking may result in the same basic design education effect. So, what approach must be used to the design? The way of thinking needs to change. For that, we try to apply the mapping to basic design education. It must encompass interactive thinking which includes immaterial elements and communication. Divergent thinking can begin with the accurate understanding of current state, and the created current state resolves the design process that needs to be a certain thing. The purpose of this study was to present the method for applying the mapping techniques to basic design education based on divergent and convergent thinking which provides the basis of creative ideas.

The research reviews the logical approach based on the creative thoughts. The two logical approaches, including deductive convergent and inductive divergent are discussed with why-why techniques and how-how techniques. While the deductive thinking is vertical logic for interconnected hierarchical and deep domains, the inducive thinking is horizontal logic for mutually exclusive and collectively exhausted frameworks. The creative thinking comes from the reversing the logic and lessening the premise of convergent and divergent approaches.

Students' approaches to mathematical problem solving vary greatly with each other. The main objective of the current study was to compare students' performance with different thinking styles (divergent vs. convergent) and working memory capacity upon mathematical problem solving. A sample of 150 high school girls, ages 15 to 16, was studied based on Hudson's test and Digit Span Backwards test as well as a math exam. The results indicated that the effect of thinking styles and working memory on students' performance in problem solving was significant. Moreover, students with divergent thinking style and high working memory capacity showed higher performance than ones with convergent thinking style. The implications of these results on math teaching and problem solving emphasizes that cognitive predictor variable (Convergent/Divergent) and working memory, in particular could be challenging and a rather distinctive factor for students.

본 연구의 목적은 수학적 상황에서의 확산적 사고와 비수학적 상황에서의 확산적 사고의 관계를 조사하기 위하여 중학교 2학년 학생 215명을 대상으로 검사를 실시하여 자료를 분석하였다. 자료 분석은 빈도, 퍼센트, t-검증과 상관 분석을 사용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 첫 번째, 수학 영재 학생이 일반 학생보다 수학적 상황에서의 확산적 사고(MCPSAT)와 비 수학적 상황에서의 확산적 사고(TTCT)는 통계적으로 유의미하게 높은 점수를 받았다. 두 번째, 여학생이 남학생보다 비 수학적 상황에서의 확산적 사고(TTCT)에서 제목의 추상성을 제외하고 모든 요소에서 통계적으로 유의미하게 높은 점수를 받았다. 세 번째, 남학생이 여학생보다 수학적 상황에서의 확산적 사고에서 유창성과 융통성은 평균이 높게 나타나고 있으나 통계적으로는 유의미하지 않고 여학생이 남학생보다 수학적 상황에서의 확산적 사고에서 독창성의 평균이 높게 나타나고 있으며 통계적으로 유의미하게 나타나고 있다. 네 번째, 수학적 상황과 비 수학적 상황에서의 확산적 사고 점수사이의 상관관계는 통계적으로 유의미하게 나타나고 있으며 중학생 전체에서는 r=.41(p<.05)이고 r=.21에서 r=.56까지 분포하고 있으며 일반 학생은 r=.27(p<.05)이고 r =.07에서 r=.27까지 분포하고 있다. 다섯 번째로 수학 영재학생의 경우는 수학적 상황과 비 수학적 상황에서의 확산적 사고 점수사이의 상관관계는 r=.11이며 통계적으로 유의미하지 않게 나타나고 있다. 이 결과는 수학 영재학생의 경우 수학적 상황과 비 수학적 상황에서의 확산적 사고 점수사이의 상관관계는 거의 0에 가깝다고 할 수 있다. 이것은 수학적 상황에서의 확산적 사고능력은 비 수학적인 상황에서의 확산적 사고 조합된 능력이 아니라 다른 특별한 능력이라고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 본 연구에서 수학 영재 학생들의 사례수가 적어서 수학 영재 학생의 수학적 상황과 비 수학적 상황에서의 확산적 사고 점수 사이의 상관관계가 있다는 주장을 일반화하기에는 충분치 않을 수 있다는 제한점을 가지고 있다.

This paper is designed to characterize the concept of flexibility of mind and analyze relationship between flexibility of mind and divergent thinking in view of mathematical problem solving. This study shows that flexibility of mind is characterized by two constructs, ability to overcome fixed mind in stage of problem understanding and ability to shift a viewpoint in stage of problem solving process, Through the analysis of writing test, we come to the conclusion that students who overcome fixed mind surpass others in divergent thinking and so do students who are able to shift a viewpoint.

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.

In this paper, we review definition and concept of mathematical creativity. A couple of criteria have established for perspectives in mathematical creativity, The first is specific domain(mathematics) vs general domain(creativity) and the second is process(thinking process) vs outcome(divergent production). By these criteria, four perspectives have constructed : mathematics-thinking process approach(McTd), mathematics-divergent production approach(MctD), creativity-thinking process approach(mCTd), creativity-divergent production approach(mCtD). When mathematical creativity is researched by the specific reason and particular focus, an appropriate approach can be chosen in four perspectives.

프로그래밍 교육은 문제를 가장 효율적으로 해결하기 위한 알고리즘을 찾아 구현하는 것이 일반적인 형태이다. 즉, 수렴적 사고 위주의 교육을 중시한다. 하지만 프로그래밍 교육은 그 대상에 따라 교육의 성격을 달리 해야 한다. 초등학교 학생들의 경우 효율성을 추구하는 것 보다 경험 중심의 다양한 탐색 환경이 선행되어야 한다. 이를 통하여 가장 효율적인 문제해결 방안을 스스로 찾아가는 방법을 배워 나가야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 수렴적 사고의 비중이 큰 프로그래밍 교육을 초등학교 학습자 대상에 맞도록 확산적 사고와 수렴적 사고가 동시에 반복될 수 있는 확산적 사고전략을 도입하여 그 효과를 분석하였다. 연구는 초등학교 5학년 학생들에게 적용되었으며, 일반적인 프로그래밍 수업을 실시한 통제집단과 CPS모형의 확산적 사고 전략을 포함한 프로그래밍 수업을 실시한 실험집단으로 구분하여 12차시의 실험처치 수업을 실시하였다. 그 결과 창의적 문제해결력의 하위요소 중 자기확신 및 독립성, 확산적 사고에 있어 CPS모형이 유의한 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to develop the systems thinking learning program and to confirm the effects of its application in the fourth grades' science class. For it, the test tools were designed to survey divergent thinking and the closed loop based on the casual relation. The systems thinking learning program was developed to make students learn scientific knowledge and systems thinking educational strategies through their regular science class. The two classes of fourth grade were selected and divided into experimental and control groups. After applying pre-test to two groups, the system thinking education program was applied to an experimental group according to the reconstructed lesson plan. Subsequently, post-test was applied to two groups 3 weeks after pre-test. The findings in this study were as follows. In divergent thinking, the systems thinking program was useful to two groups. It could be the repetition effect, but only the experimental group shows a statistically significant change. The effect of the closed loop based on casual relation was deemed statistically significant. It shows these educational strategies were effective in making students understand the systems thinking. Finally, the results of students' interviews shows they were satisfied with this program because they were able to express their thinking with confidence and to find new relations in the change of land. The results suggest that the more research is needed to further develop and improve on students' thinking skills in their regular science classes.
