Developing individual creativity for environmental sustainability: Using an everyday theme in higher education

Creativity literature was criticized for its bias towards conventional areas (e.g. arts), and creativity studies in domains less concerned about creativity, such as environmental sustainability (ES), are rare. This study aimed to understand the development of “creativity for ES” (pro-ES creativity) of common tertiary students. Based on a pro-environmental behaviour model and a pro-sustainability competence model found in literature, a pro-ES creative learning curriculum was designed and integrated into an existing toy course in a university of Hong Kong. A total of 20 students from three cohorts were interviewed, and their feedback was analysed inductively with open-coding by the consensus of two experts. Together with their affecting factors, five learning outcomes emerged as attributes of pro-ES creativity: sensitivity and problem-finding; creative problem-solving abilities; affinity for self-creating life-style; creative systems thinking and futures thinking; and reconceptualization of creativity and ES. This study discovered that creativity, as a kind of self-actualization, had developed both individual competences and intrinsic motivation, which are conducive to life-long self-determining ES behaviours. This study informs the education field that the five attributes of pro-ES creativity can be enhanced in a curriculum based on a simple everyday theme. As such, pro-ES creativity education can be integrated into many existing curricula. Going beyond ES, this study shed light on creativity studies of other less popular areas. It suggested a dual domain-specific-general creativity education approach and a dual deductive-inductive research approach for developing creativity theories and curriculum of “low-creativity” domains.

Effects of an SW Education Program Using Robots for Real-life on Creative Problem Solving Abilities of Elementary School Students

For many rural, impoverished South Africans who continue to live in conditions of political and economic oppression, ten years of democracy have not reduced their marginalisation. Started in 1999, the Human Rights, Development and Democracy project is a co-operative initiative between an NGO offering adult basic education (ABE) in rural centres in KwaZulu-Natal, and the Centre for Adult Education, of the University of KwaZulu-Natal. The project aims to serve participants in rural areas, who are undereducated, mostly unemployed, and whose participation in democratic procedures is extremely limited. Informed by, among others, Mezirowi?½s transformational theory, the project combines adult basic education with education for democracy and income generation projects, with a view to enable people to reach new perceptions of their lives and South African society. The article shows how participants moved from early expectations, and how different paces and rhythms of different participants had to be accommodated within the project paradigms.

How to Cultivate an Environmentally Responsible Maker? A CPS Approach to a Comprehensive Maker Education Model

Environmental education is intended to increase public awareness and knowledge about environmental issues and enhance individuals’ problem-solving and decision-making skills by tackling problems in the real world. “Maker education,” on the contrary, mostly relies on “problem-based” and “project-based learning” approaches with hands-on activities and collaborative learning experiences to engage students in solving authentic problems. The current study proposes an innovative curriculum design to integrate maker-centered learning with environmental thematic teaching. It then develops a series of project-based maker-centered learning activities aspiring to lead students to cultivate their creative problem solving (CPS) abilities in dealing with the environmental issues they encounter in their daily life. The developed information platform enables learners to access class materials and techniques, including 3D modeling, printing, and programming, to provide and nurture learners’ CPS abilities, and facilitates their information-, product-, and resource sharing. This study adopted a quasi-experimental design, and the developed curriculum was implemented in the teaching of two classes of a university in Taiwan (N = 73). Multiple scales were developed and applied to measure maker self-efficacy and environmental attitude to determine students’ learning outcomes. In conclusion, the study provided empirical evidence of how to design an effective maker-centered environmental curriculum to cultivate environmental awareness and attitude. Also, it provides a framework, a “comprehensive maker education model,” to develop better teaching and learning strategies and improve the effectiveness of a maker curriculum in higher education.

3D 프린터를 활용한 식물의 구조 프랙털 제작 STEAM 수업이 과학 탐구 능력, 창의적 문제해결력 및 과학적 흥미도에 미치는 효과

This study aims to develop a STEAM program to create plant fractals using 3D printer under the theme of plant fractals with repeated figures and to explore its effects. To do this, we developed a STEAM program for the 10th classes and applied it to the 6th grade elementary school students. We found the improved effects in tests of scientific process skills, creative problem-solving ability, and scientific interest. That is, the results showed significant differences in the areas of inference and expectation, which are the areas of scientific process skills, and also showed significant effects in all areas of creative problemsolving ability and scientific interests. In this program, although the nonsubject contents were mainly treated, but background knowledge in order to understand the contents of the study theme by convergent activities of subjects of science, mathematics and arts led to significant effects. Therefore, topic-focused new STEAM programs using 3D printer like this study should be continuously developed and distributed.

Acceptance finding ability

Acceptance finding is the one of an aspect of mathematical Creative Problem Solving (CPS). The indicator of acceptance finding is characterized by students ability to answer the question by using different methods. The lower acceptance finding ability shows by the tendency from the student to use the same methods. The main goal of this research is to identify the several factors that causing the lower of acceptance finding and how to improve it. This research adopting several data that concern to mathematical CPS ability, from 2014 to 2017 on Elementary School, held on two province, Banten and West Java. The conclusion are: 1) The factor that causing the lower acceptance finding are the fact that student don’t have enough opportunity through divergent thinking process; 2) Situation-Based Learning was designed to improve acceptance finding. SBL was conducted to emphasise students opportunity to analyze and trying to solve a problem, on fearless condition about mistakes. So, its possible to find the variation methods to solve the problem.
