Student’s Collaboration and Creative Mathematical Thinking Skills in Problem-Based Learning Using Numeracy Problems

Collaboration and creative mathematical thinking are important for students. However, students' collaboration and creative mathematical thinking skills are still low because students are not used to collaborating or investigating the problem-solving process. This research aims to determine students' collaboration and creative mathematical thinking skills in the 10th grade in Problem-Based Learning using numeracy problems. This research was carried out on 25 vocational school students majoring in accounting in Palembang, Indonesia. The research method used was a mixed method. The results of research on students' collaboration skills show that most of the students are in the excellent category. Students can fulfill respect for others and commitment indicators, but the indicators of deliberation and participation are rarely fulfilled. The research results on students' creative mathematical thinking skills show that 80% are in the very good category, 16% are in the good category, and others are in the pretty good category. Students can fulfill three indicators, fluency, originality, and elaboration, but flexibility is rarely fulfilled. Creative thinking skills of students need to improve.

Efficiency Divide: Comparative Analysis of Human & Neural Network Algorithm Development

The paper delves into a comparative analysis between human and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities in algorithm development, with a specific focus on the challenges presented in the "Advent of Code." The research thoroughly investigates the performance of Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs), such as ChatGPT and Bard, in solving intricate algorithmic problems and benchmarks these results against those achieved by human participants. A sizeable portion of the study is dedicated to understanding the nuances of prompt engineering in AI and how it affects the problem-solving process, alongside exploring the choice of programming languages used by both AI and humans. The methodology of the research is extensive, involving the participation of both AI models and human subjects, who vary in their levels of programming expertise. This approach allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the correctness and efficiency of solutions, along with the time taken to resolve the given problems. The results from this study reveal intriguing insights. While AI models like GPTs demonstrate an impressive speed in problem resolution, they often fall short in accuracy when compared to human problem-solvers, particularly in tasks demanding deeper contextual understanding and creative reasoning. Furthermore, the study delves into the impact of time constraints on the effectiveness of problem-solving strategies employed by both AI and humans. It finds that under strict time constraints, AI models can quickly generate solutions, but these solutions may lack the depth and accuracy found in those devised by human participants. This aspect of the research highlights the trade-off between speed and precision in AI-driven problem solving. The research extends its implications beyond mere performance comparison. It suggests the potential for a synergistic approach where the computational efficiency and rapid problem-solving abilities of AI can be effectively combined with the nuanced understanding and creative problem-solving skills inherent in humans. This hybrid approach could redefine the future landscape of programming and algorithm development. The study not only provides a critical analysis of the capabilities of AI in the realm of algorithmic problem-solving but also paves the way for future exploration into the collaborative dynamics of human-AI interaction in programming. It highlights the evolving role of AI in programming and underscores the importance of balancing AI’s computational prowess with human creativity and adaptability in solving complex, real-world problems.

인공지능 융합교육 수업 사례 연구

Objectives This study aimed to develop an AI convergence education lesson case that can be applied to integrated curriculum for lower elementary school students, and to analyze its effectiveness by applying it to actual lessons. Methods For this purpose, AI-based educational lessons were developed in accordance with the ADDIE model and subsequently implemented over 16 sessions with 20 first-grade students from an elementary school in Daegu. In order to assess the efficacy of the aforementioned lessons, a range of methodologies were employed, including the evaluation of learning outcomes, surveys on lesson satisfaction, in-depth interviews with students, an analysis of students' diaries, and the examination of teacher's field notes. Results The results of the study indicated that integrating AI content within the framework of subject-centered convergence education in elementary schools can significantly enhance students' understanding of AI, including its principles and applications. The lessons, which were developed around themes such as the “Community, Autumn, and South Korea” taught in the first grade of elementary school, led to high levels of satisfaction among students. In particular, the projects “Creating a Sharing Market Stall,” “Getting Acquainted with Autumn,” and “Promoting Traditional Korean Foods” not only facilitated a deeper understanding of AI but also enabled students to become proficient in using AI tools. Furthermore, these activities contributed to the development of students' creative thinking and problem-solving skills, thereby demonstrating the potential of AI convergence education for supporting comprehensive learning outcomes in young learners. Conclusions The results of this study have demonstrated the potential of AI convergence education within elementary education. In order to implement AI convergence education programmes effectively for lower-grade elementary students, it is necessary to develop educational materials, enhance the technical capabilities of AI tools, and establish institutional support measures.

Playfulness and Kindergarten Children's Academic Skills: Executive Functions and Creative Thinking Processes as Mediators?

ABSTRACTThis study examined the direct and indirect relationships between playfulness (social and cognitive spontaneity), executive functions, convergent thinking, divergent thinking, and academic skills in Hong Kong Chinese kindergarten children. Participants were 181 second‐year (4 to 5 years) kindergarten children (45.9% boys) and their parents. Parents reported demographic information and children's playfulness and executive functions through a questionnaire. Children were administered behavioral assessments of convergent thinking, divergent thinking, Chinese word reading, and number word comparison at their kindergarten. Results from a path analytic model revealed the mediating roles of convergent and divergent thinking in the relationship between playfulness and number word comparison. In contrast, convergent thinking mediated the link between playfulness and Chinese word reading. Executive functions were positively related to playfulness but unrelated to children's academic skills. The findings suggest that playful children might develop better creative thinking processes, supporting their academic skills. Practically, the findings underscore the importance of play‐based learning in developing children's creativity and academic skills in the early years.
