CRITICAL THINKING PRACTICE IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE EDUCATION CLASSROOMS

Critical thinking education is, generally, the act of recognizing the student as a full human being in all aspects of teaching and learning, with the ultimate purpose of creating creative, authentic, and critical individuals who can solve problems and make decisions for themselves. It holds that students should be engaged in the development and practice of varied creative and critical thinking skills and that they should be encouraged to personalize connections and transfer these skills from the classroom and school contexts to other life situations. This article addresses the issue of critical thinking practice in language education classrooms. It presents some relevant definitions of critical thinking education and discusses some critical thinking skills that students should be encouraged to develop and practice and some barriers to their effective and successful implementation in language education classrooms. To this end, this article suggests some classroom activities and patterns of communication which could help teachers cope with these impediments, and engage their students in the development and practice of these skills.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0987/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Exploring Simondon’s Philosophy of Invention

Gilbert Simondon is the first philosopher of technology and invention to explain the beginning of the philosophy of technology by shifting the paradigm of thought from substance to relationship, and claiming that technological entities can solve problems through invention because they are invented entities. This study aims to explore the philosophy of invention of Simondon, a French philosopher of technology, and the research results are as follows. First, in Simondon’s philosophy, ‘individuation’ is a key concept that characterizes relational thinking. It is an operation transductive that resolves the problems of inconsistency, incompatibility, tension and conflict inherent in metastable systems through ontotogenesis. Second, the invention concept is a transformation operation that solves problems by creating a new structure by mediating and establishing relationships between things that are difficult to communicate because of incompatible, inconsistent and disparity. Third, technological invention is a process that transcends the individual’s mind, and is achieved through the inventive ‘imagination’ of problemsolving of successive inventors who communicate through existing technological objects. Fourth, an ideal society through invention is a ‘society of individual creators of technological existence’, united through the medium of technological entities, and humans communicate through their inventions. Lastly, in order to overcome the obstacles to the limitless possibilities of inventive imagination and social change, it is necessary to create a foundation for a balanced technology culture by implementing technology literacy education from school education in the dimension of inventive imagination.

Formation of creative individuality and socialization of personality in autobiographic novel-essay by A. Fedorenko “Mezha”

The autobiographical novel-essay “Mezha” by the modern Belarusian writer Andrei Fedorenko is investigated. The stages, functional components, different-level socio-cultural contexts, the general structure of the processes of personality socialization and the formation of a creative individuality, which are reflected in the literary text, are determined. The increased relevance of autobiographical prose is substantiated in connection with the processes of world globalization and industrialization of modern society, the main target of which is the younger generation. The general role of fiction as a socio-cultural practice, contributing to the development of cultural competence, social adaptation and productive socialization of the individual, is analyzed, since the fundamental civilizational values and their semantic models are codified and transmitted in society to a large extent with the help of such phenomena as text and books. It is revealed that the autobiographical work of A. Fedorenko psychologically reliably reflects the content of socialization – a kind of convention between a person and society, a two-way process of an individual’s assimilation of social norms and cultural values and their creative reproduction. It is argued that the novel-essay “Mezha” has a high socializing potential, is an effective catalyst for the reflexive activity of the reader, a stimulator of creative thinking, an indirect way of comprehending the norms and rules of social and social life.

Writing spaces: Robin Hyde’s The Godwits Fly as (Female) colonial Künstlerroman

ABSTRACT Eliza Hannay, Robin Hyde’s protagonist in The Godwits Fly, finds the muse in the bottom hold of a boat. Taking a cue from that atypical location, this essay spotlights Hyde’s own edgy positionality as a colonial New Zealand writer to focus on the twin implications of the title phrase “Writing Spaces” – the spaces associated often with women’s writing, clandestine, underground, peripheralized, probed here in their most material manifestations – the page, the bookshelf, the bookshop. The other important impetus of this essay lies in exploring how the “of-yet-not-of” positionality of the colonial woman writer makes for a unique colonial take on the female Künstlerroman. The novel’s central metaphor of migration (the godwits) sets up this essay’s dialogism with contemporary debates centered around gender, domicile and migration, my focus being on female creativity and the un-housed condition. The photomontages of Eliza’s young life are viscerally rendered by Hyde to explore how these instabilities leave a mark on the “veins and marrow” of her protagonist’s being as an artist. The focus will equally be on material repositories like bookshelves at home and shelves in bookstores. The curatorial protocols that govern both and that then have an impact on the creative individual, whether as consumer or producer, will be my focus there.

Cultural and Leisure Activity as a Factor of Preservation of Ukrainian Identity

The article proves that cultural and leisure activities as one of the important components of the functioning of society, has a great power of semantic and emotional impact on the individual. The great variety of its forms, means and methods allows conveying to people the ideas of spiritual wealth of society. The content of cultural and leisure activities is due to the needs of society in improving the social relations, the need to preserve Ukrainian identity in the context of globalization, the need to develop diverse abilities of people through the productive organization of their leisure time. It was found that cultural and leisure activities, which in their content and structure involves a variety of entertainment and recreational activities, creates conditions for identifying and satisfying the freedom to choose personal leisure needs and interests, is a process of cultural creation (creation, dissemination and increase of cultural values), which should stimulate the development of creative individuality. It has been proved that in order to preserve the Ukrainian cultural identity, it is necessary to improve the cultural and leisure sphere, because it is in it that folk customs, holidays, folklore, traditions, and rites are most reproduced.

Creativity is associated with higher well-being and more positive COVID-19 experience

We investigated whether creativity is associated with higher well-being and more positive COVID-19 experience. Participants (N = 252) filled out a creativity measure during the COVID-19 pandemic, they rated their positive affect and stress experience in the last month, their satisfaction with life, and indicated the extent to which they perceived COVID-19 as a positive experience. More creative individuals were more satisfied with their lives after controlling for perceived stress and personality. Results of a serial mediation showed that creativity fostered more positive emotions, which lowered perceived stress, which then led to a more positive COVID-19 experience. Findings add to the literature showing the beneficial effects of creativity on well-being, and point to the utility of introducing interventions that would promote creative thinking to improve quality of life and resilience to life adversities.

创作者经济中的去中心化审查机制设计

With the growth of the creator economy and decentralized platforms, the power has started to be transferred to individual creators. However, due to the lack of censorship in decentralized platforms, the individual creators can upload contents that may cause huge damage to society potentially without any responsibility. Previous work on decentralized censorship does not provide a formal model and theoretic guarantee for this setting. We propose a decentralized censorship mechanism in this setting: after the creator uploads the content, a decentralized censor mechanism will evaluate the damage of the content and the creator will be requested to provide a deposit according to the result. To avoid the worst case when the deposit cannot cover the damage, we also have a decentralized insurance system. We show that (1) in the damage evaluation phase, the censors will be incentivized to provide honest evaluation; (2) with high probability, the potential social damage will be covered by the deposit of creators and the decentralized insurance system.

FOLKLORE MOTIVES IN THE OF WRITER YASHAR KEMAL

The object representation of a work of art is rich and varied. It well known that the purpose of works of art is to reveal the nature of man, his life and social place. The complexity and uniqueness of a work of art, which distinguishes it from other types of art, lies in the fact that any work reveals the author’s intention, and thereby conveys it to the reader’s consciousness. Creative individuals can accomplish this task in any way in a work of art. One of them is a reference to folklore. Yashar Kemal, one of the most prominent figures in Turkish literature, is considered as a «folklorist writer» in Turkish literature. The article discusses folklore that influenced the formation and development of the writer’s work, as well as folklore motifs in novels and stories.

Means of the future engineers-teachers’ professional competence formation: pedagogical and psychological conditions

The article considers the psychological and pedagogical conditions of the future engineers-teachers’ professional competence formation, pedagogical creativity as a component of pedagogical skills, as well as features of working with talented and gifted students as an important factor in effective professional development. The psychological and pedagogical principles of linguistic activity of able and gifted students were studied. Scientific approaches to understanding of “ability” and “dedication” and their influence on language activity of non-philological specialties students are defined. The psychological and pedagogical principles of organization of interaction of the teacher and students were formulated. Pedagogical psychology investigates the processes of development of students’ thinking, attention and memory, ability to perceive language facts and phenomena in their dialectical unity. For gifted students there are high enough development of thinking, long-term memorization of educational material, high efficiency, developed self-control skills in educational activity, ability to give doubt and scientific thinking certain stereotypes. They are distinguished by an increased propensity to mental activity, originality, the formation of different kinds of memory, respect, assembly, speed of reaction, richness of imagination. For effective work with gifted students teachers have to know their psychological and pedagogical peculiarities and specifics of their learning, to be recognized with the concept of diligence, to understand the content of understanding “ability”, “dedication”, “talent”, types of diligence. It is important in the teaching of the future profession, that students are aware of their own activities, both theoretical and practical. The development of professional competence is the development of creative individuality, the formation of readiness to accept the new, the development of receptivity to pedagogical innovations

A Study on the Relationship between Service Value Creation Attributes and Participation Value, Collective Intelligence, and Co-creation in Beauty One-person Media

In this study, the structural influence relationship between consumer value, collective intelligence, and co-creation was investigated from value creation attributes and the utilization of consumer participation in the one-person beauty media business model. For the above purpose, a questionnaire was given to 618 people (280 samples of corporate brand type, 338 samples of individual creator type) who experienced information sharing activities in the beauty one-person media. Further, internal consistency analysis, model fit analysis, and path analysis were conducted using SPSS and AMOS statistical packages. The results of this study were as follows. As a result of the analysis of the path relationship between the value creation attributes and the participation value of the beauty one-person media service, first, in the corporate brand type, core strategy, customer value, and strategic support had a significant effect on use-value, and core strategy, customer value, and value network had a significant effect on the exchange value. In the individual creator type, customer value, strategic resource, and value network had a significant effect on use value, and only customer value and strategic resource had a significant effect on exchange value. Second, as a result of analyzing the path relationship between the value creation attributes and exchange value of the beauty one-person media service. In the corporate brand type, only exchange value had a significant effect on collective intelligence, and in the individual creator type, both use value and exchange value had a significant effect on collective intelligence. Third, as a result of the analysis of the path relationship between the participation value and collective intelligence in the beauty one-person media service, collective intelligence significantly effected co-creation in both the corporate brand type and the individual creator type.

Moral Foundations of the Theory of Education in Russian Neo-Kantianism

The article discusses the specificity of constructing pedagogical research within the tradition of Russian Neo-Kantianism. The emphasis is placed on two aspects: 1) philosophy and pedagogy complement each other within the framework of practical philosophy in determining the teleological reason for learning and upbringing, and 2) spiritual and moral foundations determine the efficiency of the process of forming a free and creative individual. The specific features of S.I. Hessen’s concept of moral education in relation to Natorp’s theory of social pedagogy are identified. A comparative analysis of methodological approaches of A.I. Vvedensky and A.V. Veideman to the identification of the purpose of education and upbringing is conducted. The novelty of the study is presented through the actualization of insufficiently studied scientific works of Russian Neo-Kantians, who shared the same field of philosophical discourse with Western European philosophical questions. The relevance of the study is determined by the significance of spiritual and moral values in the context of institutional education. Based on the complex examination as well as the historical and philosophical reconstruction, the general trend of pedagogical research of Russian Neo-Kantians toward the formation of distinct awareness of freedom and its limits is outlined. In the conclusion of the article the authors formulate the statements that have potential for historical and philosophical research, as well as for identification of effective models of correlation of scientific knowledge and spiritual and moral values.

Ways of creativity formation of master students.

Currently, creative, innovative, intellectual, creative individuals with formed professional competencies are in demand. In this regard, the postgraduate education system provides for the formation of new facets in future undergraduates, such as motivation, innovation, mobility, flexibility, dynamism and versatility, the upbringing of a creatively thinking, creative and creative personality.The aim of the research is to provide theoretical substantiation of the formation of future masters' creativity and presentation of its model in the process of postgraduate education. In this direction, it is envisaged that the system of training future masters at the university is aimed at mastering theoretical material, full understanding, free creative self-expression. The article presents the structure of creativity in accordance with the peculiarities of the formation of the creative activity of masters, the content, components, levels and criteria of their formation are determined, a model is developed. The methodological and theoretical foundations of the methodological positions are examined, on the philosophical pedestal, fundamental ideas about the essence of human cognitive activity of personality-oriented learning systems and psychological and pedagogical assistance in the formation of creativity in research, as well as concepts in the field of education are revealed. It is noted that its practical significance lies in the possibility of using higher and postgraduate education.

Cognitive reappraisal inventiveness in emotion regulation

<p id=C9>Emotion regulation is an essential ability to maintain individual mental health and life happiness. Cognitive reappraisal is one of the most effective emotion regulation strategies. Cognitive reappraisal inventiveness is a central component of the generation process in the context of cognitive reappraisal. It is the ability to create multiple and different reappraisals for negative situations. The total number and diversity of cognitive reappraisal strategies produced by individuals in cognitive reappraisal (i.e., the fluency and flexibility of cognitive reappraisal strategies) are taken as indicators of cognitive reappraisal inventiveness. A high creative cognitive reappraisal is an effective premise for ensuring individual emotional regulation. <p id=C10>Here, we review recent studies on cognitive reappraisal inventiveness. A large body of research demonstrates that inventiveness in cognitive reappraisal is positively correlated with divergent thinking and openness, but not with neuroticism and trait anger. Creative cognitive reappraisal strategies, or high-level cognitive reconstruction using metaphor and analogy, are more conducive to the regulation of negative emotions, and the superior regulatory effect of creative cognitive reappraisal can be mediated by amygdala-based salient emotional arousal, hippocampus-based new association formation, and striatum-based mental rewarding to produce to a novel and positive experience that can be kept in long-term memory. These results are consistent with the creative reconstruction theory of cognitive reappraisal. The theory holds that an individual’s response to negative situations comes not from the event itself, but from their view of the event. Emotional situations are viewed as problems that can be solved by a variety of reappraisal styles. To regulate negative emotions, it is necessary to produce a novel and effective psychological representation of the emotional situation or event, modifying the initial maladaptive representation. Creative individuals may be more likely to find effective reappraisals. However, other studies claim that there is no correlation between cognitive reappraisal inventiveness and reappraisal effectiveness. Thus, no consistent conclusion about the relationship between cognitive reappraisal inventiveness and reappraisal effectiveness has yet been reached. <p id=C11>By comparing the neural mechanisms of cognitive reappraisal inventiveness (using the Reappraisal Inventiveness Test, RIT) and traditional creativity (using the Alternative Use Test, AUT), it was found that both, the RIT and AUT, exhibited a comparatively strong increase in alpha power at prefrontal sites, indicating that they have similar brain activation patterns; however, the activation degree of cognitive reappraisal inventiveness is higher in the middle region of the prefrontal cortex, whereas the activation degree of traditional creativity is higher in the ventral prefrontal apex region. The regions of brain activation of the two forms of creativity overlap primarily in the right cerebellum, central anterior gyrus, central posterior gyrus, and anterior cingulate cortex, especially in the left prefrontal network. Cognitive reappraisal inventiveness activates the right superior frontal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, and left and right angular gyrus. Traditional creativity tasks primarily activate the left superior frontal gyrus, left inferior temporal gyrus, and left inferior frontal gyrus. This shows that traditional creativity and cognitive reappraisal inventiveness have common cognitive processing needs, including inhibiting strong responses, switching between different perspectives, and controlling memory retrieval; however, the process of cognitive reappraisal inventiveness requires the specific executive function of emotional representation. <p id=C12>Future research may expand the group of participants by selecting participants with emotional disorders (e.g., depression and anxiety disorders), improve the measurement methods of cognitive reappraisal inventiveness, explore the situational and internal factors that affect cognitive reappraisal inventiveness (e.g., positive metaphor, trait anxiety, self-efficacy, and humorous personality), and further reveal how the neural mechanisms of the special process, or reaction mechanism of cognitive reappraisal inventiveness, differ from traditional creativity.

Downtown regeneration in Clarksdale, USA (‘Birthplace of the Blues’): Lessons for downtowns and high streets

Clarksdale is a small city in the state of Mississippi, USA, comprising some 16,000 residents. Once prosperous with a focus on agriculture and manufacturing, the city experienced severe economic changes from the 1940s and 1950s onwards. Industrial decline and loss of jobs, a population with low socio-economic profile in national terms, competition from other cities and towns and out-of-centre developments all contributed to a decline in downtown business activities. Around the turn of the 21st century, however, the seeds of downtown regeneration were planted by long-time local residents and by newcomers attracted by the cultural heritage of the locale and lifestyle opportunities. In essence, the regeneration of the downtown area has focused on the recognition that Clarksdale is the ‘Birthplace of the Blues’, with Blues music playing an essential part in the revitalisation process and building on cultural heritage, creative individuals and community efforts. This paper discusses factors contributing to Clarksdale’s regeneration, together with lessons for other downtowns, high streets, main streets and activity centres.

Exploring the Uses of Arts-Led Community Spaces to Build Resilience: Applied Storytelling for Successful Co-Creative Work

In a time of many extremes — climate, pandemic, isolation — there is strength in community linkages that can provide resilience through arts-generated connections. The arts-led recovery approach to communities suffering extreme events and social isolation offers the capacity to use applied storytelling as both individual and social practice, and to generate creative contributions to social change. This paper will explore the extent to which, in bringing people together, the arts can create spaces that are open and conducive to real dialogue and engagement, developing resilience with wider applications. Monkivitch (EO of Creative Recovery Network) talks of listening to the ecology of voices, advocating for the voice of the artist to be central to government recoveries from extreme events. The intent of looking at co-creative systems or ecologies is to explore beyond disciplinary boundaries and articulate a social purpose both for the artists and the community involved in the curation. The creative arts process, in extreme events contexts, offers engagement with and empowerment of the community to develop and sustain resilience and adaptability. In this paper, a team of artists and academics with expertise in community participation, applied storytelling, socially-engaged arts and water risk management, will reflect on a variety of approaches to co-create arts-led community spaces. Two case studies are described to explore collaboration and co-production between creative artists and their communities as a participatory process to develop emotional resilience. The UK-based case study, ‘The Reasons in the Fens’, brought together diverse members of the community to develop and share personal stories and to work with a songwriter to compose a community song about the impact of the flood drought nexus in their region leading to developed empathy for diversities of views. The Australian case-study, the digital Regional Arts Park in Victoria, enabled co-curation using a creative ecosystem design which related strongly to storytelling for resilience. Both case studies offer opportunities to reflect on how a creative ecosystem provides a framework for exploring the disruptive role of the cultural sector in space/place resilience-building. The ongoing purpose of a creative ecosystem, as described in this paper, is in fact to strengthen creative organizations and individuals, which will develop a complex system ‘involving a multitude of people, institutions and places. To flourish, they require access to a suite of interconnected resources and capabilities’ (Creative Victoria (2016). Creative State 2016–2020, p. 19. https://creative.vic.gov.au/_data/assets/pdf_file/0007/54349/creativestate.pdf ). The requirement is for the cultural, creative, social and commercial parts of this ecosystem to have meaningful interactions. This creative ecosystem potentially leads to a dynamic model with a vibrant or creative interplay between cultural values and stories. As Hartley and Potts (2014). Cultural Science: The Natural History of Stories, Demes, Knowledge and Innovation. London: Bloomsbury, p. 70) indicate, ‘culture is the “survival vehicle” for groups (and) stories are the survival vehicle for culture’.

ТЕОРЕТИКО-МЕТОДОЛОГІЧНІ ПІДХОДИ ДО ФОРМУВАННЯ ХОРЕОГРАФІЧНИХ УМІНЬ І НАВИЧОК УЧНІВ МОЛОДШОГО ШКІЛЬНОГО ВІКУ

In the article the author analyzes the synthesis of multicultural, polyartistic and participatory approaches, determines the multilevel theoretical and methodological basis for the development of choreographic skills in junior high school students. At the new stage of development of the socio-economic sphere, culture and education, special attention is paid to the issues of artistic and creative development of the younger generation. There is a growing need in society for highly intelligent creative individuals who are able to solve emerging difficulties on their own, make non-standard decisions and implement them. All this requires the development of new methods of educating the younger generation and entails unconventional approaches to art education as a basis for further improvement of personality. The greatest interest in this regard are younger students, as it is at this age that the foundation of the individual is laid, there is an orientation to the development of spirituality, self-realization, self-expression and formed worldviews needed in later life. Choreographic creativity is one of the means of comprehensive development of students, because the productivity of artistic education of children by means of choreographic art is due to the synthesizing nature of choreography, which combines music, rhythmics, fine arts, theater and plastic arts. In this regard, there is a need to move to a qualitatively new, innovative development of all branches of culture, including choreography, as one of the important and important aspects of forming a multicultural, comprehensively developed personality is education through dance. The multicultural approach provides the creation of a multicultural environment that educates and shapes the personality, involves children in the process of learning about culture through dialogue, cooperation and self-realization of the essential forces and abilities of the individual in his cultural identification. Polyartistic approach to the development of choreographic skills in junior high school involves the accumulation of artistic knowledge in the process of active communication between participants in the educational process, active participation in which provide such personality traits of the future specialist as spiritual uplift and creative imagination. Participatory approach provides organizational integration and identification of value orientations of future professionals.

Вербальные и невербальные средства трансляции альтернативного сознания творца в повести В. В. Ноллетова «Палата № 8»

The study aims to construct a system of conceptual coordinates with the “creator” origin in a double context that corresponds to the narrative strategy employed by V. V. Nolletov, the author of the novella “Ward No. 8”; to outline verbal and non-verbal means of communicating the creator’s alternative consciousness, using the example of a specific literary image. Scientific novelty of the paper lies in an integrative approach to the issue of personal self-expression, an unstandardised explication of the notion of “alternative consciousness”, an accentuated interpretation of an informative local text that actualised the traditional conflict between the writer and society. As a result, the researcher has proved the consistency of the “intelligence type - consciousness type - communication means” relational correlate, has compiled a multicomponent paradigm of verbal and non-verbal ways of expressing creative non-unified individuality.

Modeling Discontinuous Cultural Evolution: The Impact of Cross-Domain Transfer.

This paper uses autocatalytic networks to model discontinuous cultural transitions involving cross-domain transfer, using as an illustrative example, artworks inspired by the oldest-known uncontested example of figurative art: the carving of the Hohlenstein-Stadel Löwenmensch, or lion-human. Autocatalytic networks provide a general modeling setting in which nodes are not just passive transmitters of activation; they actively galvanize, or “catalyze” the synthesis of novel (“foodset-derived”) nodes from existing ones (the “foodset.”) This makes them uniquely suited to model how new structure grows out of earlier structure, i.e., cumulative, generative network growth. They have been used to model the origin and early evolution of biological life, and the emergence of cognitive structures capable of undergoing cultural evolution. We conducted a study in which six individual creators and one group generated music, prose, poetry, and visual art inspired by the Hohlenstein-Stadel Löwenmensch, and answered questions about the process. The data revealed four through-lines by which they expressed the Löwenmensch in an alternative art form: (1) lion-human hybrid, (2) subtracting from the whole to reveal the form within, (3) deterioration, and (4) waiting to be found with a story to tell. Autocatalytic networks were used to model how these four spontaneously derived through-lines form a cultural lineage from Löwenmensch to artist to audience. We used the resulting data from three creators to model the cross-domain transfer from inspirational source (sculpted figurine) to creative product (music, poetry, prose, visual art). These four spontaneously-generated threads of cultural continuity formed the backbone of this Löwenmensch-inspired cultural lineage, enabling culture to evolve even in the face of discontinuity at the level conventional categories or domains. We know of no other theory of cultural evolution that accommodates cross-domain transfer or other forms of discontinuity. The approach paves the way for a broad scientific framework for the origins of evolutionary processes.

The Must of Being an Individual are Correct Usage of Reason and Creative Activity

As can be understood from the title of the text, a highly assertive thesis is put forward in this study. In order to justify this thesis in a philosophical sense, we first tried to reveal what the individual is, its formation and importance. The concept of the individual, which we discussed in the article and tried to describe with its indispensable conditions, refers to the individual who owes its existence to the western culture and belongs to the western civilization in terms of its characteristics. Because the must of this individual is expressed as using the reason correctly. This individual is both the creator and, because of its many characteristics, the product of a secular worldview. Trying to understand the universe, people and society, this individual acts with the patterns of his mentality and reveals his knowledge in this context. The individual is a self-confident and independent person. The basis of the independence of a person who is conscious of being an individual consists of his loyalty to his own reason. His perception, understanding, judgment, and evaluation of reality are based on his own reason, not on the assertions of others. Since using the reason is the basic characteristic of being an individual, it is not possible to think of the individual independently of the reason and the reason of the individual. In this article, we tried to explain the nature, formation and meaning of the individual on a completely rational basis. We tried to show that the individual has to consider his own reason rather than the expectations of the society while establishing his own life in the western culture, where it is accepted that being human is synonymous with being an individual. One, who does not belong to any entity that is considered important, is a unity that believes that he lives according to his actions. The individual has a creative ability because he is unique to himself in terms of thinking and actions. In fact, the quality of creativity is the result of using the reason correctly. Being a creative person, the individual puts forward new things based on his own creative abilities. All innovations, inventions and discoveries of all kinds throughout history are the works of creative individuals. The prerequisite for creative activity is reason, and the result is honour or self-respect. Using the reason correctly is the basic virtue that is the source of all the other virtues of the individual.

Holistic Asset Performance Management Systems: Speculative design for Industrial APM systems and human work experience in an Industry 5.0 setting

AbstractThe aim of this article is to comprehend human work experience in industry 5.0. In the next generation of human systems integration, the major challenge will be to incorporate creative experiences of people with technologies. This aspect will be particularly salient when using Asset Performance management Systems. In this article, we use a qualitative futures planning approach with a speculative design methodology to comprehend human experience in next generation work systems. We propose that by incorporating human experience, we need to characterize these systems as Holistic Asset Performance Management systems that consider the human without reducing it to the mechanistic component. By building on the speculative enactment method, this research also explores the advantages of involving actual creative individuals in the enactment process to achieve better results. It concludes with speculations for the future of APM systems and raises certain questions related to ethics.
