An Ontology to Formalize a Creative Problem Solving Activity

Our study is set in an educational context: to better teach and assess twenty-first century skills, such as computational thinking or creative problem solving, we propose formalize a specific activity that involves these competencies. This activity, referred #CreaCube, presented open-ended which consists of assembling robotic cubes into autonomous vehicle. We not only anchor our formalization classical learning science frameworks but also draw on neuro-cognitive models describe the observed behaviors learners engaged this activity. The chosen formalism symbolic aligned upper ontologies ensure vocabulary well specified. allows for communication between summoned research fields, namely science, cognitive neuroscience modeling. Beyond specification purpose, suggest performing inferences using available reasoners guide analysis observables collected during experiments. operationalization problem-solving part exploratory action. In addition, effective proof concept described study.
