The purpose of this study is to develop HOT (Higher Order Thinking) Lab–based practicum guide that improves pre-service physics teachers’ creative thinking skills. The research method used 3D-1I model (Define, Design, Develop and Implementation). The subjects of this study are 40 students of Physics Education Program UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. The results showed that the HOT Lab-based prac...

Creative processes are widely believed to involve the generation of multiple, discrete, well-defined possibilities followed by exploration and selection. An alternative, inspired by parallel distributed processing models of associative memory, is that creativity involves the merging and interference of memory items resulting in a single cognitive structure that is ill-defined, and can thus be s...

The population of elderly is rapidly increasing in Japan and we expect that one fourth of our population are older than sixty-five years in 2020, which amounts to thirty five million people. The number of people with dementia, who need some types of care, is then estimated to be about three million, which occupies eight percent of elderly people. The change suggests that we can no longer hospit...

Research on retrieval-induced forgetting has shown that retrieval can cause the forgetting of related or competing items in memory (Anderson, Bjork, & Bjork, 1994). In the present research, we examined whether an analogous phenomenon occurs in the context of creative problem solving. Using the Remote Associates Test (RAT; Mednick, 1962), we found that attempting to generate a novel common assoc...

The work aims to improve the assessment of creative problem-solving in science education by employing language technologies and computational–statistical machine learning methods to grade students’ natural language responses automatically. To evaluate constructs like creative problem-solving with validity, open-ended questions that elicit students’ constructed responses are beneficial. But the ...

Creativity is often seen as a crucial element in the innovation process. However, the individual and group creativity is difficult to recognise and support for the corporate innovation process. This research searches answers how information systems (IS) could facilitate the creativity, learning and problem-solving processes. Findings from systems theories literature suggest that social networks...

This experimental study tested the spreading-activation hypothesis that an incubation period helps to sensitize problem solvers to relevant concepts. The study also tested the selective forgetting hypothesis that an incubation period helps to desensitize problem solvers to irrelevant concepts. Chinese Chess GO players, 28 experts and 29 novices, solved 18 remote association tasks (RAT) and lexi...

This research proposes a user modeling framework which aims to assess and model users’ creative problem-solving ability from their self-explained ideas for a specific scenario of problem-solving. The proposed framework, User Problem-Solving Ability Modeler (UPSAM), is mainly designed to accommodate to the needs of studying students’ Creative Problem-Solving (CPS) abilities in the area of scienc...

Received (Day Month Year) Revised (Day Month Year) There are many creative thinking manual methods in the world. They are brain-storming method, brain-writing method, mind mapping, NM method, Equivalent Transformation method, KJ method, etc. Human thinking process for creative problem solving consists of 4 sub-processes. They are divergent thinking sub-process, convergent thinking sub-process, ...

Although IVA involves complex analysis it also requires creativity and novelty. This paper developed a framework (Figure 1) for understanding and explaining digital creativity in IVA. This was achieved via a synthesis of existing literature in creativity, data analysis, visualisation and interactivity, and through analysis of existing IVA software, as well as our own development experience.
