Using Bloom's Taxonomy for Math Outreach Within and Outside the Classroom

Not everyone is a great artist, but we don’t often hear, “I dislike art.” Most people are able to appreciate visual arts, music and sports, without necessarily excelling in it themselves. On the other hand, the phrase “I dislike math” is widely prevalent. This is especially ironic in our current society, where mathematics affects our day-to-day activities in essential ways such as e-commerce and e-mail. This paper describes the opportunity to popularize mathematics by focusing on its fun and creative aspects, and illustrates this opportunity through a brief discussion of interdisciplinary topics that expose the beauty, elegance and value of mathematics within and beyond the typical K-16 curriculum. We share practical outreach methods inspired by real, fun mathematics, and our experience with a liberal-arts ‘math for poets’ course which aims to develop math appreciation without losing its rigor or depth. While many of us are not comfortable doing live performances or making fancy videos, we all can use these methods to encourage a more positive mindset about mathematics in our communities.

Measuring Indonesian EFL Teachers‘ Digital Creativity: Validation of Hoffmann‘s Digital Creativity Scale

The current study was part of a larger project on Indonesian EFL teachers’ digital creativity. Specifically, the aim of the current research was to validate the digital creativity proposed by Hoffmann et al. by assessing the reliability of the instrument, its unidimensionality, the effectiveness of the instrument rating scale, and the differential item functioning used to gather data related to the Indonesian teachers’ digital creativity. Quantitative methods were employed throughout the research. A total of 422 Indonesian EFL teachers of different ages, genders, and educational backgrounds participated in an online survey, which was then filtered until a sample size of 132 EFL primary school, 162 EFL junior high school, and 104 EFL senior high school teachers remained. The findings of this study showed that first, statistical results indicated that the instrument used was reliable, obtaining a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.99. Second, the instruments have achieved their research objectives in that there is an aspect of digital creativity which is considered in the teaching activities of Indonesian teachers. The results also suggested that there are differences in gender and age in EFL teachers’ digital creativity. This paper can be a useful reference for further research related to aspects which need to be fulfilled by teachers in the development of online teaching, considering the deficiencies found and offering solutions in subsequent research papers.

Університет як платформа для дискусій на тему етичного аспекту творчості науковців

Creativity is very important for scientists, but, unfortunately, it rarely becomes a topic for discussion within the field of professional ethics of scientists, engineers, physicists, and other figures in science and technology. After all, creativity is often considered a prerogative of artists only, and in this aspect, the moral side of creativity is practically not discussed. The purpose of the article is to show the importance of the moral aspect of creativity and the role of the university in understanding this. General scientific methods were used in the article: analytical, comparative, and generalization. Common from a public perspective is to think about science and technology in terms of the pervasive and ubiquitous practical impact of scientific achievements: electrification, cars, airplanes, water supply, computers, etc. However, to assess the societal impact of science and technology we cannot neglect the moral importance of scientific knowledge itself and the personal commitments of scientists, engineers, and other science-oriented professionals. Personal commitments and ideals include humanitarian, environmental, religious, political, aesthetic, and family obligations. They also include voluntary commitments to adhere the professional standards, especially when these commitments are related to a person's broader value perspective. The university promotes not only the development of scientific creativity among students but also an opportunity to understand the moral problems of their professional activities and obtain possible solutions to these problems in professional and corporate ethics courses. Thus, the university helps students in their future activities as the first platform for discussions on the ethical aspect of researchers' work.

Лотман об Эйзенштейне: реконструкция контекста

Ethics played an important role for Yu.M. Lotman when he judged some phenomenon of art or the personality of the creator. He thought filmmaker S.M. Eisenstein was a brilliant avant-garde artist, though indifferent to moral issues, and therefore condemned Eisenstein for distorting of history to justify Stalin’s dictatorship. The article deals with Lotman’s reviews of works and personality of Eisenstein: from the earliest — 1945 (Lotman did not like the first series of “Ivan the Terrible”) — to the latest, recorded in the dictated texts of the early 1990s. The literary interest of the 1960s in structuralism actualized Eisenstein’s heritage as one of the predecessors of this scientific field. Lotman studied Eisenstein’s theoretical heritage, used his theories of the shot and montage in monographs on the literary text structure and the cinema semiotics. In the 1970s and 1980s, we could see Lotman’s condemnation of Eisenstein’s work only in private correspondence and conversations with students (in particular, with I.Z. Belobrovtseva); in the 1990s — in scientific publications as well. The article also demonstrates that the negative view of Eisenshtein’s work given in the story by A.I. Solzhenitsyn “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” influenced Lotman. He was strongly impressed with the story and supported its nomination for the Lenin Prize in Literature and Art. Lotman and Solzhenitsyn possibly had discussed the ethical aspects of creativity in a personal conversation in July 1963.

Опытно-экспериментальная работа по реализации методической модели развития интеллектуальной культуры личности обучающихся педагогических направлений подготовки бакалавриата средствами иноязычного образования

The article deals with the problem of education intellectualization at higher education institutions. The aim of the article is to present the analysis of the results of the experimental work on the practical implementation of the model of the methodical system for fostering personal intellectual culture in undergraduate pedagogical students by means of foreign-language education. The main process of the experimental teaching of foreign languages was focused on the integrated fostering of the components of the personal intellectual culture of future teachers: (a) cognitive culture (skills, abilities and experience associated with the understanding of meaning, systematization, transformation of foreign-language information); (b) communicative culture (detailed, logical and meaningful verbal communication in a foreign language); (c) the culture of reflective thinking (goal-setting, self-motivation, selfdetermination, introspection, self-regulation, self-organization, self-esteem and self-control of one's activities in the process of learning a foreign language); (d) the culture of creativity (the disclosure and development of creative abilities and readiness for innovation); (e) the worldview culture (the formation of a wide range of manifestations of education; the gained knowledge, mastered skills and abilities allow one to think, to reason, to strive for the best, to comprehend the phenomena of one's own spiritual life and to form the integral picture of the world, to be responsible, to evaluate the consequences of one's actions in accordance with the socio-ethical norms and spiritual values. The diagnostic tools such as surveys, questionnaires, diagnostic techniques, the method of participant observation in practical classes, analysis of the products of the educational, cognitive, creative and research activities performed by students during the practical classes and the extracurricular events, test papers, test tasks, creative projects, presentation of project and research work, self-assessment and mutual assessment, external expert assessment of university teachers and representatives of the employer (secondary schools teachers), etc. were used. At the transformative and control-evaluative stages of the experimental work, the positive dynamics of the development of indicators of cognitive, analytical, speech-thinking, communicative, regulatory, reflexive, axiological and creative aspects of intellectual and personal improvement in the students of the experimental group was revealed. The author concludes that the process and the result of the carried out activities reveal the effectiveness of the designed conceptual and methodological model of foreign-language education that presupposes the systemic development of a complex of abilities and personal qualities of the cognitive-semantic, motivational-value, organizational-active and creative spheres in pedagogical students' personalities.

Relações epistemológicas entre a gramática gerativa transformacional de Noam Chomsky e a organização do conhecimento

Noam Chomsky is considered one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century, and his contribution to Language is evident. The article analyses a possible dialogue between Transformational Generative Grammar, Chomsky's generativism and innatism, and the Knowledge Organization. By establishing epistemological and disciplinary relations with Knowledge Organization, Transformational Generative Grammar highlights the creative aspect of those who are building a given System, which in turn requires the incorporation of documentary languages, thesauriand ontologies, among other elements, for example. When designing these systems, in addition to knowledge of the social contextin which the subject is culturally inserted, the designer must have solid knowledge of the main relationships between that community and its main informationalneeds. For future analyses, this research will discuss in depth the relationship between Chomsky's Transformational Generative Grammar and Knowledge Organization for the development of documentary languages.

Creatividad en el Desarrollo Empresarial desde un Análisis Teórico

Modernity uncertainty demands to envision new responses, trends and opportunities to stay ahead of the curve. In light of that, people, workers and companies find themselves in the challenging task of generating a creative approach that takes into account the needs, realities and resources. Therefore, the objective is to analyze aspects of creativity, potential for the company, implementation process and reduction of barriers, carrying out a retrospective, descriptive, qualitative and documentary review analysis in three databases: Scopus, Web of Science and ScIELO. It was found divergence in creativity classification. However, its role within business development is highlighted, detailing two internal potentialities: results and impacts, as well as two external ones: entrepreneurship and business associativity. Also, it was perceived that the strategies for its promotion will vary according to individual and social characteristics of the population, and environmental ones. Moreover, the existence of barriers inhibits creativity, but not necessarily other activities’ performance. Finally, the implication of the creativity management in business development is reaffirmed and research of educational systems, curricula and barriers linked to creativity from a national approach is encouraged.

CRAFTS CREATIVITY AND ITS DEVELOPMENT FROM THE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS` PERSPECTIVE

Education in Czech Republic has recently undergone considerable changes. Emphasis is placed on the development of individuality, personality qualities, and competencies of pupils and students. Creativity has become an essential quality of modern man and it is proclaimed across many areas of human activity, being defined in various ways depending on the application of creative aspects. The area which we deal with in more detail in the article is creativity in technical education. In the context of current events in the field of educational policy in the Czech Republic, we present partial results of a research probe of a qualitative nature focused on identifying key elements of educational strategies of primary school teachers in the implementation of creative technical activities at primary school.

Künstliche Intelligenz und Sprachtechnologien im Bereich der Translation

Artificial Intelligence and Language Technologies in the Field of Translation
 
 The present paper deals with the opportunities which language technologies and artificial intelligence might offer for translation professionals. The paper also examines and elucidates that these technologies might contain possible problems, hurdles and obstacles. But the researcher reinforces that they also possess the necessary skills, competencies and prerequisites for the successful implementation and use of these technologies as illustrated in the Literature Review and Discussion parts of this research. It has also been shown that the successful implementation of such tools requires both institutional and technical prerequisites. A not inconsiderable problem, however, is the question of the what extent to which and whether the significance of the digital translator can also be adequately illustrated and clarified in the non-institutional private sector. Current developments in this respect unfortunately tend to point to the opposite, i.e. to the degradation of his role to a mere "helper" of the machine that (apparently) does most of the translation work. 
 Translators, then, will ultimately only be able to truly benefit from language technology and artificial intelligence if their status is not further compromised as a result. It is not very helpful if productivity and speed can be increased, but in inverse proportion to this, the fees constantly decrease, because it is made to appear that the computer is now doing most of the work. The end result of this development would be the digital slave rather than the highly professional digital language mediator. The paper projects that language technologies and artificial intelligence potentially offer benefits in the sense that they promote a better understanding and functioning of the symbiosis between humans and machines through the automation and streamlining of certain language-related workflow processes, i.e., a set of tasks that can be performed primarily - or even entirely - through workflow automation and with the help of content management software. Through the various past research on the subject and through secondary data analysis it has been analysed and stated in the paper that the potential acceleration of work processes improves overall efficiency by requiring less time to complete the same tasks. Therefore, this study evidently establishes the argument that artificial intelligence allows human actors to focus on more meaningful tasks associated with quality control, while routine and especially technical tasks are delegated (for the most part) to the machine. This also leaves more time for creative aspects. Artificial intelligence and language technology are not only relevant for translating, but also for interpreting, even if progress in this area is still somewhat slower and a paradigm shift has yet to occur. In this regard, conference interpreting is of particular interest. Problematically, the relevant software has so far lacked the cognitive, cultural, intellectual, and emotional skills that inevitably underlie qualitatively responsive interpretation. But at least it is possible to improve the interpreter's preparation for a meeting or conference. The relevant tools have so far only a supporting role to play. Language technologies and artificial intelligence potentially offer benefits in the sense that they promote a better understanding and functioning of the symbiosis between humans and machines through the automation and streamlining of certain language-related workflow processes, i.e., a set of tasks that can be performed mainly - or even entirely through workflow automation and with the help of content management software. Further development of artificial intelligence, machine translation has recently made significant progress. Nevertheless, it is common practice to first subject the machine-translated text to review or proofreading by a human translator. Post-editing is the process of using a machine-translated text as a basis and having it improved by a human translator. This means that the human translator ultimately creates the final translation.

Usvajanje jezika kod djece uzrasta dvije i tri godine / Language Acquisition in Children Aged Two and Three

This paper discusses language acquisition in children aged two and three. The analysis was carried out on a corpus of child language compiled during research conducted at a kindergarten in Sarajevo among children aged two and three who acquire their native language in the area of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Qualitative and quantitative methods were applied in the corpus analysis. The development of child language production was measured by the Mean Length of Utterance, based on the number of words per utterance (MLUw). The distribution of parts of speech was established for both age groups. A special emphasis was placed on the ratio between the number of nouns and the number of verbs. The results have confirmed the nativist natural partitions hypothesis, according to which nouns are predominant in children’s early speech over verbs and other parts of speech. MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory (MCDI) was applied in the semantic analysis of nouns. The analysis confirmed the hypothesis that nouns denoting animate beings have a higher prevalence over nouns denoting inanimate objects at the early stages of language acquisition. In addition, the presence of complex and abstract concepts was detected, which supports the theory of the existence of an innate language acquisition device in humans. The creative aspect of child language was also analysed, along with differences between the language of children and the language of adult speakers.

KREATIVITAS ANAK USIA DINI PERSPEKTIF PROGRESIVISME

The purpose of this study is to find out what creativity is, the importance of the aspect of creativity in early childhood, the important role of the teacher as a facilitator in encouraging creativity and the linkage of creativity based on the perspective of progressivism. As is known, a common occurrence to date is the existence of a number of problems which show that there are still many individuals who are unable to present their work in real or real terms; the majority of these individuals prefer to duplicate the work of others. The inability to develop a work is an indication of a lack of imagination. Creativity is not a foreign concept for children studying in kindergarten or PAUD, because everything they do in kindergarten and early childhood is basically creative. Therefore, teachers and parents should realize the importance of creativity for the survival of their children starting with their earliest education. Education is an effort to grow and develop the characteristics of intelligence, skills, and character of students, which is carried out in stages. All forms of education, including early childhood education, must be implemented based on the philosophy of education. The flow of progressivism is one of the educational understandings of the existence of a flow in education that supports change or progress in the application of education. The writers do library research of this type (library research). The creativity of early childhood, as viewed through the lens of progressivism, is bolstered by associated theories, which are designed to provide readers with information that may be implemented in the everyday education of children.

ON THE THRESHOLD: CREATIVITY IN MID-LIFE

Abstract While late-life creativity has attracted significant scholarly inquiry, it is not clear that the same focus has applied to creativity in midlife and its relationship to creativity across the lifespan. Allied to a proposed symphonic concert by the Indianapolis Symphony of works from late midlife creativity with gerontologically-themed pre-concert talks occurring alongside GSA 2022, an activity curated by the Humanities, Arts and Cultural Gerontology Advisory Panel of GSA, this symposium will provide insights into a relatively under-explored aspect of creativity and aging, that of midlife creativity and its relationship to creativity at other stages of life. For many artists the most significant breakthroughs in style and critical reception are found in the works of midlife, and the symposium will explore the phenomenology and underlying themes of midlife creativity. This will include a review of the literature, a focus on midlife breakthrough and development in the creativity of Brahms and Janacek, interaction with the program of the parallel symphony concert, and a focus on arts and crafts creativity in people newly undertaking arts and crafts in mid-life. This will be complemented by a review of creativity and well-being from the age of 50 onwards.

Concept as the Activist of Creativity in Architectural Design: Exploring Factors Affecting Concept Formation Using the Structural Equation Model

In the contemporary understanding of architectural design, the concept is essential in that it drives the creative aspect of a designer, provides design a wealth of meaning, and initiates and shapes the design process. Based on the importance of the concept in architectural design, this study aimed to examine the factors affecting the concept formation of architect candidates/architects in design education and practice. For this purpose, a pilot study in the first phase of the study tested a survey distributed to two groups of participants, namely architecture undergraduate students and practising architects in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. The data obtained from the survey were analyzed with the SPSS software and measurement tools were identified and then, weights of the factors were determined using the Structural Equation Model (SEM). According to the analysis results, the factors affecting concept formation in architectural design are the design problem, context, designer-induced values, and user-induced values according to their weighted importance. One of the main reasons the design problem and context are pioneers in determining concept is that these factors hold a strong place in the traditions and teachings of design education. In addition, depending on the way architecture students and practicing architects experience the profession, their attitudes towards creating concepts in their designs may vary.

The image of the soldier in contemporary Iraqi painting

The research tagged (the image of the soldier in contemporary Iraqi painting) dealt with the concept of the image as one of the basic concepts in the creative achievement, whether it is in the field of art, literature or beauty. Therefore, the concept of the image expanded to express the various aspects of human creativity, including the field of painting. To know the image of the soldier in contemporary Iraqi painting, the research included four chapters. The first chapter focused on the methodological framework of the research, while the second chapter included three sections. The first topic dealt with the philosophical and artistic concept of the image. The second topic was concerned with the representations of the soldier's image in modern painting, while the third topic dealt with the characteristics of the soldier's image in Iraqi painting.The third chapter was devoted to research procedures. In order to achieve the goal of the research, a number of results were reached in the fourth chapter, including:1- The imaginary image of the soldier appeared through a visual scene that combined different times and places in one space, as Alaa Bashir relied on the combination of the two aerial perspectives (or the so-called bird’s eye), and the ground according to metaphysical philosophy, which aims to transform the world and things into imaginary visions. Where the idea transcends the reality. (model 1)2- The realistic sensory image of the soldier was shown by the colors and their poetic effects on the influences and suggestive codes carried by the color, and the depth of the spirit of originality mixed with heritage, which makes us feel belonging, authenticity and national identity, defined by the priorities of the sensible and what is aesthetically perceived. (Model 2)1- The figurative image is one of the images that arise in the art of painting, and it witnesses an intense presence in the context of the significance of the image and the referral to a mental conception through concepts abstracted from its sensory image.2- The imaginary image in art witnesses a moral dimension regarding the mind’s retrieval of things abroad, and building them in a way that reveals new relationships that were not realized before.3- According to mental images, images are manifested in art within the limits of the work of knowledge and mental awareness. Images are formed when the mind is the repository, as the analyzer and compound of the meanings of things outside.4- The sensory image in art works on dismantling reality by relying on simulation, as imagination works in it to depict the moral abstract in a sensual way, relying on experience as a source of all knowledge and its domain is the mind
