The teacher-student relationship may represent, in certain situations, the key of achieving didactic activities. Those, if carried out during the appropriate pedagogical time (course and / or seminar) could determine the existence of a new psycho-pedagogical attitude and behavior, aiming primarily at the teaching-learning method, but also the interactive participation and co-participation of the two actors directly involved in this stimulus-creative approach. In this context, the existence of applicative exercises/play in certain disciplines in socio-human behavior (specifically-medical psychology, medical sociology, doctor-patient communication) determines but also valorizes a new educational behavior, namely, teacher-student communication and interrelation vs student-teacher. Thus, by catching the student's attention, stimulating his / her thinking, imagination and volitional-emotional values we can make educational sequences that also enhance "freshmen" experience from year I, building up and defining the whole experience in VIth year, in most cases.

Finding a great idea for an opportunity with a low potential is a waste of creative resources and talents. Yet, opportunity recognition cruelly lacks attention in innovation processes, methods, and research. We propose in this paper a new method, which we called Design by Impact. The Design by Impact method allows for systematic opportunity recognition and idea optimization through maximization of the Impact of the solution, that is, the difference made by the choice of this new solution over another for all actors. This paper presents how Design by Impact operates, from the deterministic analytical opportunity recognition, to the idea generation and the optimization of both the ecosystemic insertion and organic propagation of the idea generated.

One of the key aims of information search tools is to organise information and make it accessible and useful, reducing the chaos of an information deluge to ten blue links, perhaps with some context about the utility of the information they represent. Generative AI answer engines, such as ChatGPT, have gone one step further, reducing the ten blue links to a single passage of text: highly digestible, easily accessible, possibly false and ultimately bland. All chaos, including disagreement between sources, possible false information, and the influence of societal biases, and the opportunity to access more information is hidden under a rug of simple, authoritative sounding text. Friction, disagreement, reflections and odd informational juxtapositions have long been known to underpin serendipity, inspiration and creativity, yet these answer engines reduce all of these opportunities, particularly in the context of complex information needs. Using 'bounded chaos' as a framework, we critique the trade‐offs made by answer engines, demonstrating that, even as they are non‐deterministic, they hide the wrong parts of the chaos for those who seek learning or inspiration. We make the case against bland, and defend information seekers need for perceptible heterogeneity, friction, and even a little chaos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigates the role of trust in human‐AI collaboration in K‐12 education, focusing on generative AI. Using a two‐factor experimental design (n = 26), we examined attitudes toward AI and creativity level as independent variables and assessed cognitive trust, affective trust, perceptions of usability, and continuance intention to use generative AI tools in text‐to‐text (ChatGPT) and text‐to‐image (Canva) tasks. The results is analyzed with two‐way ANOVA, we find that: (1) text‐to‐text human‐AI collaboration tends to foster higher emotional engagement and trust compared to text‐to‐image human‐AI collaboration; (2) perceptions of usability and continuance intention to use are slightly higher in text‐to‐text interactions, suggesting a preference for text‐based generative AI tools; (3) significant interactive effects between attitudes toward AI and creativity were observed across all measured variables, highlighting the importance of considering both factors in understanding and improving human‐AI collaboration in educational settings, contributing to research on generative AI for learning assistance.

The value of research is often determined by its impact and ability to catalyze positive change in the life of communities, technological developments, and the advancement of education. However, translating research findings and innovative conceptualizations into practical applications is not always easy for various reasons. As a result, there may be difficulty achieving a buy‐in from community and industry partners who are essential for elevating innovative ideas to the level of working models and tangible outcomes. Similarly, it is not always immediately clear how research findings should be integrated in teaching and learning to improve the relevance of education to community and industry needs. In many situations, creativity and imagination are key to transforming research into impactful applications. Can we reimagine partnerships for the benefit of praxis? Can we design unique methods of research dissemination that will reach and engage a broader community, beyond a specialist circle? Can we present ideas and concepts to the world in a way that excites and motivates people, moving them to action? The presenters will provide examples of work that addresses these questions and will work with the audience to help with guidance in their own work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Topology arises from mathematics and architecture in an inherent relationship that stems from their ancient intellectual concepts. Topology originated as a mathematical field and then spread to numerous sciences and arts, leading to contemporary architecture, relying on its theories as evidence of the comprehensiveness of this science and based on digital computing tools, modern technologies and advanced means of production. However, the features of this concept are still not common in the architectural field. Accordingly, the knowledge gap was identified as "the ambiguity of knowledge about the topological features of contemporary architectural products.". The goal of the study is to develop, using an analytical descriptive approach, a comprehensive theoretical framework for the topological features represented by continuity, containment, and permeability. These characteristics were produced by significant topological theories that addressed this idea, such as Homotopy theory, Optimization theory, and Dimensional theory, whose concepts and vocabulary contributed to the development of a formative structure in modern architectural products. Then, using the descriptive-analytical technique, apply it to the chosen samples to generate a knowledge base that allows designers to express their originality, diversity, uniqueness, as well as inspiration. The results of the research showed the emergence of both of them the continuity feature represented by the clarity of the paths and the cancellation of the outage and the permeability feature through movement and spatial communication as the highest representation of the topology in the contemporary architectural products. While the conclusion was reached that topological theories contributed to supplying the structure of architectural products with several features that affected its contemporary formations and developed the ability to creative design.

The purpose of this study is to establish the influence of demographic factors on the creativity level of undergraduate agricultural students. It seeks to understand how gender, status of family owned business, field of study, and place of upbringing affect the creativity level of these students. The research adopts a quantitative approach, using a self-administered questionnaire. The survey data, collected from 421 participants, is analyzed using structural equation modelling. Hypotheses are statistically tested to establish the relationships between demographic factors and creativity level of undergarduates students. The survey data for this research was collected through a self-administered questionnaire. The participants were undergraduate agricultural students from various South African universities. To statistically test the hypotheses and analyze the relationships between demographic factors and the creative level, structural equation modelling was used. The study reveals that all demographic factors do not significantly influence creativity level of agricultural students. This suggests that gender, status of family owned business, field of study, and place of upbringing are not reliable indicators to test creativity level of undergraduate agricultural students. This research adds to the existing creativity literature on entrepreneurship by providing insights into the role of demographic factors in shaping the creativity level of agricultural students. It contributes to an understanding of how these factors influence students' perception on their creative abilities. The findings highlight the grounds of not considering demographic factors when evaluating creativity in educational settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Living in a communist dictatorship for 50 years is a challenge for society, its development and more over for the relationship with thinking and self-expression. A dictatorship attaches great importance to language and this goes beyond a superficial attention, since it is very clear the strong connection that exists between thinking and language, it tries to enter the thinking process of the individual in order to program them according to its principles. The politicization of language and the intervention of the dictatorship in it is the opportunity that the dictatorship has to manipulate people's minds, to condition even thinking, the only opportunity that individuals had in the dictatorship to "speak", since freedom of expression was completely denied. Each dictatorship has its own specifics, so in this paper we will stop concretely and study the case of Albania, a country that for 50 years has experienced among the most savage communist dictatorships, as it went as far as completely denying God and punishing anyone who said otherwise. After a long study in this field, we will identify the path followed by the dictatorship to manipulate people's minds through language in Albania. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The students' creativity is determined by logit parameter providing a similar scale. The instrument used was an essay test developed from Torrance indicators. This research involved 35 students including 17 females and 18 males who had prior knowledge about this subject. To obtain the objective, firstly, the analysis of validity and reliability items was conducted for the instrument. The construct validity was obtained by Mean Square (MNSQ) values, and reliability was determined by three indicators including person reliability, item reliability, and alpha Cronbach values. The results of the analysis show that the instrument having been tested is valid because the MNSQ values are in the accepted range which infit and outfit person values are 0,97 and 1,02 as well as infit and outfit item values are 0,98 and 1,02, and the instrument is also reliable in good criteria with 0,83 value. The analysis of person reliability and item reliability shows that the students' answers are consistent and the quality of questions is good namely 0,83 and 0,89, respectively. Furthermore, the logit value indicates that there is a tendency of students having a lower ability than the difficulty level of the questions. This implies that the teachers should put more effort to improve creative thinking students in further learning activities as the creative thinking skill is important to prepare students in their future career. Also, the instrument developed can be utilized to measure creative thinking skill in the similar subject matter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Creative thinking ability is one of the skills needed in 21st-century learning and self-concept is the core of personality which is the most important aspect of whether or not individuals develop a personality. Students in Indonesia still have not developed the realm of creative thinking when working on practice questions. The purpose of this study was to obtain valid, practical, and effective mathematics learning tools with the help of evaluation media that quiz on circle material to improve students' creative thinking ability and self-concept. The participant in this study were students of Junior High School grade VIII in the year 2019/2020. This research is the development of research with the 4D Thiagarajan model, which is adapted into 3D, namely defining, designing, and developing. The tools developed are the syllabus, lesson plan, student's worksheet, and student books. The data collection technique used the test and questionnaire method. The results showed that using the 3-D development model produced the learning device has gone through a validation process and is declared to meet the content validity and construct validity set by experts in the field and is declared valid, practical, and effective shown from the results to get an average value of 3.6 with very good criteria. Based on the results of the learning media development design can improve students' creative thinking abilities from the results of the pretest and posttest values getting an average N-gain of 0.9 and self-concept getting an average 0,7 that happened was in the high category. This is evidenced by the significance value of the two-sample paired t-test results between the pretest and posttest data on creative thinking abilities in the experimental class 0.00<0.05. That is, there is a significant difference in increasing creative thinking abilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research was conducted to examine and analyze the improvement of students' creative thinking skills using open-ended Learning and conventional Learning. The study used quantitative methods designed with nonequivalent control-groups experimental patterns. The sample is 63 people, not taken at random from two different classes. One class is given open-ended learning, And other classes are given traditional learning. Data collection was done by using tests, That is, pre-test and post-test. They used normalized NGain to measure the difference in increased creative thinking skills. The data was analyzed using an independent sample test. The results of research and analysis have found that open-ended learning and traditional learning can enhance creative thinking skills. The improvement of creative thinking skills of students participating in open learning is superior to that of students participating in traditional learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Creativity is a crucial aspect of tech management, as it allows hi-tech workers to identify and solve problems, generate new ideas, and create innovative solutions that meet the needs and desires of consumers. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the way that people work, with many companies shifting to remote work as a means of maintaining business continuity. This shift has led to a debate about the impact of remote work on creativity, with some arguing that working from home increases creativity since it allows for more flexibility and autonomy. In contrast, others say it decreases it since it can lead to isolation and a lack of collaboration. While some evidence suggests that working from home may positively impact creativity, there is also evidence to suggest that it may have a negative impact. The main objective of this study is to investigate differences, if any, in the perceived creativity among hi-tech workers working from home or the office. The study provides a more nuanced understanding of hi-tech workers' attitudes toward creativity, innovation, and related risk-related issues. We used a validated questionary about the extent of innovation and creativity of people in general. Then we investigated these characteristics with the extent of working from home or the office. We statistically compared the means of variables of interest for categories of interest of respondents. We found no significant difference between high-tech workers working from home or the office. Yet, we discovered that hi-tech workers working from home reveal more resilience toward creative ways to solve problems even though these ways are associated with more risk. They are willing to take more risks to accomplish assignments innovatively and creatively. We also found that managers and development hi-tech workers tend to work from home. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to describe creative thinking skills in students who have verbalizer and students who have visualizer in solving AKM questions. The study used a qualitative method with purposive sampling technique. The subjects in this study were grade 5 students at SDN Tegalsari 04. The research instrument is through filling out a cognitive style questionnaire and a written test about the AKM. Students are verbalizer able to meet all indicators in mathematical creative thinking skills, namely fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. But, the students Visualizer are only able to fulfill three indicators in mathematical creative thinking skills, namely fluency, flexibility, and originality. The difference between verbalizer students and visualizer lies in the elaboration stage. students are Verbalizer able to explain completion information clearly and in detail. Meanwhile, visualizer cannot explain completion information clearly and in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of a creativity session being first to generate many ideas, how to fast and reliably assess each one's creativity, even with non-creativity experts? Creative people appearing not only to be good at generating ideas but also at implicitly evaluating them, improving people's assessment would further improve their own creativity. This paper investigates canonical components of originality to identify universal creative performance subscales assessable by untrained judges. Three originality criteria emerged from theoretical research: (1) Feelings, emotions; (2) Imagination, fantasy; (3) Logical complexity. One criterion was used to assess appropriateness: (4) Consistency as defined by four rules. A corpus of 100 ideas were distributed for assessments by untrained judges (n=41). All ideas were assessed by 4 expert judges on a single criterion: creativity. Surprisingly the criterion (4), which had four clear rules to define it, showed insufficient reliability and had to be disregarded for the analysis. The three other criteria proved consistent with one another and were hence reduced to an assessment of originality. They showed poor consistency with expert judges' ratings. These results are discussed and call for further research to better understand creativity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Learning in the digital era brings a significant change in the learning process. Among them are teachers and students are required to be adaptive to the ability to use technology. One strategy to overcome this is to apply collaborative learning that emphasizes the learning process in groups. Prioritizing interactions between friends that can make students respect each other, to support the improvement of creative thinking processes and problem-solving abilities in types of questions open-ended. This study aims to develop learning tools collaborative learning and determine their effect on students' creative thinking skills. This study uses a method with a sequential exploratory combination model. The development design uses a 4D model (define, design, develop and disseminate). This type of research uses a nonequivalent control group design experimental model. The results showed that-based learning tools collaborative learning had a significant influence on students' creative thinking abilities. In addition, the developed devices are practical and effective if implemented in the learning process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We investigate reverging - the phase between the diverging and converging steps in a creative process - in the context of a visual thinking agency. Creative facilitation literature advocates for such a phase, aimed at revisiting and rearranging ideas generated during diverging, to prepare for converging. However, in practice this step is often neglected or not performed well, resulting into a sense of increased complexity or lack of client ownership. Two studies were used to investigate reverging in context: a preliminary study consisted of interviews and observations to better understand reverging in current visual thinking practices. The follow-up study focused on co-creating a tool to solve the problem identified in the preliminary study. While the preliminary study revealed the need to involve clients in both diverging and reverging phases, the follow-up study resulted in the creation of the Whiteboard Canvas. The tool was tested in practice and several benefits of reverging in visual thinking practices emerged. The tool empowers visual thinking practitioners to involve their clients more actively in reverging, resulting into a more deliberate creative process and an increased sense of client ownership.
