Virtual Mathematics Laboratory Based on Cognitive Load Theory

Teachers need high levels of creativity and innovation to deliver subject matter during this period of digital learning. Literacy and numeracy skills are top priorities in schools, and mathematics is very relevant for the acceleration of literacy and numeracy development. The goal of this study was to develop a virtual math lab based on the cognitive load theory to improve literacy skills. The ADDIE development model was used, consisting of the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. Data were obtained on the needs for a complete mathematical learning medium that would be accessible and fun. The virtual design was carried out using the Drag and Drop app builder software. In the next stage, a virtual lab design framework was implemented with this app builder. The validation results showed that 80% of the math teaching materials were in accordance with the school’s math curriculum; 80% of the virtual math lab design was categorized as dynamic, and the remaining 20% was identified as needing synchronization between the videos displayed and the level of attractiveness and interactivity of the lab. According to the results, the modules and virtual laboratory that were developed are valid and suitable for use.

Improving STEAM Knowledge and Skills for Pelopor Literasi Desaku

The term STEAM, which is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, is an approach to learning to guide students in conducting research, discussion, collaboration and critical thinking. It is hoped that the end result is students who dare to take risks in their research, but still with careful consideration. Students can be directly involved in shaping the learning experience, and encouraged to be persistent in finding solutions to problems and active in collaborating and working through creative processes. Pelopor Literasi Desaku (PLD) are volunteers who provide assistance for school-age children at the State Children’s Learning House, Bengkung Village, Retno Temple, Secang Magelang. 10 STEAM activities were prepared for implementation by PLDs. This study used a qualitative descriptive design. There were 10 PLD participants, recruited through purposive sampling. The results of the study can be divided into four parts. General: (1) all participants stated that they had understood the concept of STEAM; (2) all participants were interested in STEAM activities; and (3) 90% of participants stated that they felt motivated by STEAM activities.

Interactive Effects of Receiver Power and Generator Status on Endorsement of Creative Ideas

Few studies have focused on how power influences an idea receiver's endorsement of creative ideas. By integrating associative evaluation theory with insights from the power literature, we identify power as an important receivers’ factor that accentuates the relation between an idea's creativity level and receivers’ endorsement. We contend that the idea generator's status is a boundary condition and, together with creativity level, the idea generator's status jointly influences the degree to which idea receivers’ power affects idea endorsement. We conducted four studies to test our hypotheses. Study 1 was a laboratory experiment. It found a two-way interaction of receiver power and creativity level, showing that compared to low-power receivers, high-power receivers expressed stronger endorsement of ideas with high levels of creativity. Study 2 was a field study in a manufacturing company. It replicated Study 1's findings and further found a three-way interaction showing that the moderating effect of receiver power was strengthened when the generator had higher rather than lower status. Studies 3 and 4 respectively replicated the two-way and three-way interactions using experiments and demonstrated positive associations as the theorized mediator, providing empirical support for the positive association account. We discuss implications of these studies and call for future research to deepen our understanding of how creative ideas are endorsed in the workplace.

The Benefits and Burdens of Work Moralization on Creativity

Although morality has long been considered an important and integral element of organizational life, current research suggests that moral considerations will reduce creativity. However, emerging evidence hints that morality may not always be a burden and instead could spark creativity. In this paper, I develop a model that investigates how work moralization – or the degree to which individuals integrate moral considerations into their work tasks – influences employee creativity. Drawing on regulatory focus theory, I argue that work moralization can lead to prevention focused cognitions – namely rumination – which impairs and redirects cognitive resources needed for creativity. However, I also posit that work moralization can lead to promotion focused cognitions – namely cognitive flexibility – leading employees to adopt cognitive approaches that increase creativity. Moreover, integrating research on value congruence, I suggest that work moralizers are the least likely to ruminate – and the most likely to become cognitively flexible – when they perceive their values are aligned with that of their organization, which ultimately fosters high levels of creativity. I test my theoretical model in a sample of federal scientists, employees at a sanitation plant, and an immersive pre-registered experiment. This research challenges the consensus that morality will negatively impact creativity and offers important contributions to research on organizational ethics, creativity, and moralization.

CIRI DAN FUNGSI LAGU DALAM MEMBENTUK STRUKTUR PLOT FILEM MUZIKAL MAGIKA (2010)

The musical film genre is the sole film genre predominantly guided by the songs sung by the characters to understand the narrative plot. Each of the songs has its own function to develop the narrative plot so that the audience can easily understand the underlying message. The songs produced require a high level of creativity by the director and composer, who would need to research and detail each song composition on the appropriate plot queue. Therefore, the researcher has selected 2 songs from the musical film Magika (2010) as case study analysis to examine and understand how the characteristics and functions of songs in shaping the plot structure are produced. The film ‘Magika’ was selected based on its achievements of being the only musical film to have won the “Best Film” and “Best Original Music” award at the 23rd Malaysian Film Festival. The research method was conducted through staged interviews by interviewing several film directors and composers, notes, and observations of Magika’s (2010) film work. Subsequently, the study was analysed using the ‘Conceptual Integration Networks’ theory in studying lyrical meaning then focusing on beat elements in plot structure introduced by Syd Field (2005) and Blake Snyder (2005) to both selected songs. As a result of this study, the researcher found that the specially created song in the musical film Magika (2010) is a communication bridge between the characters who sing the songs which is built through the song elements and plot structure.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROCRASTINATION AND CREATIVE THINKING

The article considers the issue of the relationship between the phenomenon of procrastination and creative thinking. One of the most common factors that hinder personal and professional effectiveness is procrastination. There is a hypothesis that people with high levels of procrastination have correspondingly well-developed creative thinking, which endows them with the ability to solve problems outside the box and quickly adapt to situations.1 We consider procrastination as a psychological pattern of behavior characterized by person's delaying planned actions or decision-making followed by negative emotional experiences. Literature analysis has shown that procrastination influences creative activity, which leads to the assumption that people with higher levels of procrastination have a higher level of creativity. Upon conducting our research, we uncovered the following pattern: students with a high level of procrastination are more inclined to such factors as risk-taking and fantasy; students with a low level are more likely to present curiosity and task complexity; and students with an average level of procrastination are equally likely to present both factors.

The article describes pre-profile training as a system of pedagogical, psychological, pedagogical, informational and organizational activities that helps applicants for Basic Secondary Education in choosing their profile areas of future training and a wide range of further professional activities. Various definitions of the concept of «readiness», which is interpreted as a manifestation of abilities, are summarized; as a personal education, quality, property; as a state; as the main condition for a person to perform any type of activity, carry out self-knowledge, replenish personal experience, increase the level of independence and develop potential cognitive capabilities. It is summarized that the correct pre-profile trajectory of education applicants creates opportunities for the most complete development of the child in accordance with its essence. This will become a powerful engine for the progress of Ukrainian society in the context of the country's transition to information and communication technologies, in which success will be determined by the development of the individual and its maximum self-realization.

COGNITIVE COMPONENT OF ADOLESCENT PERSONALITY CREATIVITY

The purpose of the article is to determine the psychological characteristics of the cognitive component of creativity of adolescents. The research methodology is based on the genetic modeling method of S.D. Maksymenko, strategic approach to creative thinking V.O. Molyak, fundamental research in the field of psychology of creative abilities. The scientific novelty of the study is to expand the understanding of the cognitive component of creativity of the adolescent as a psychological mechanism for identifying the personality of this age. Conclusions. Under the cognitive component of creativity, we understand the component of creativity, which is a manifestation of intellectual talent and exploratory activity of a young person, which is the ability of the subject to raise problems, solve them unconventionally, generate a lot of original ideas. Socio-psychological and age prerequisites for the development of creativity in adolescence are the desire of young men and women to self-identification, which is manifested in active reflection, introspection and searchtransforming activities, the results of which constitute the subjectivity of a young man or girl. The cognitive component of the creativity of a young person is associated with a high level of innovation, future orientation of young people, willingness to take risks for the sake of success and an optimistic outlook on their own success. Young men and women with a high level of creativity use a variety of intellectual resources in solving problem situations: visual representation and visualization, object modeling and design, creative transformation and have a pronounced holistic cognitive style, in which expert experience plays an important role.

Early Byzantine ‘Basket’ Capitals in Churches and Monasteries of the Holy Land: Stylistic and Morphological Synthesis

To the best of my knowledge, all Early Byzantine “basket” capitals discovered in the churches and monastery of the Holy Land were included in this article. There are 13 in number, all carved from limestone. Seven of them were found in Jerusalem, including the Holy Sepulchre; five - in the monasteries of the Judean desert, one in the Judean hills and two in Samaria. The majority of these churches/monasteries ranked high in the hierarchy of the Holy Sites, and such type of capitals might be considered luxurious. The geographical distribution of the items let to the assumption that they were locally produced in one of the workshops in Jerusalem or its suburbs, and their subsequent delivery to the other sites via roads. One “basket” capital was discovered in the Golan synagogue in Umm el-Qanatir. it features quite a different tradition as compared to the ecclesiastical. Stylistic analysis of the capitals, their comparison with each other, to the marble and limestone parallels from other regions show a high level of creativity, which implied free artistic experiments with patterns (especially on the calathus rim) and proportions, but still within strict order canons. The earliest local limestone capitals predate the marble capitals from Constantinople and elsewhere.

The impact of personality traits on clinical practice

Background. In terms of personality, medical challenges consist in a wide spectrum of interindividual differences which impose a high level of creativity in order to face and overpass these daily challenges. Thus, clinical communication was proven to be strongly related to creativity. Aim. The aim of this study was to compare personality traits in both medical students and young residents. Material and methods. We performed a correlational, cross-sectional study on residents and students from clinical years (years IV to VI) of “George Emil Palade” University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Sciences and Technology, Targu Mures between July 2021 and December 2021, who agreed to answer both BWAS and DECAS scales in order to assess their creativity and personality traits. Results. In terms of residents, we found a significant positive correlation between Openness and Extraversion (r = 0.6742, p < 0.0001), a negative correlation between Openness and Agreeability (r = -0.4601, p = 0.0138), a negative correlation with Agreeability (r = -0.4088, p = 0.0308) and a significant positive correlation between Conscientiousness and BWAS revised Scale (r = 0.4192, p = 0.0264). Contrariwise, we observed a negative significant correlation between Agreeability and Creativity since we found negative correlations between Agreeability and both BWAS Original Scale (r = -0.4132, p = 0.0289), and BWAS Revised Scale (r = -0.4637, p = 0.0129). For the students from the clinical years we observed a significant negative correlation with both Conscientiousness (r = -0.2681, p=0.0401) and Agreeability (r = -0.3883, p=0.0024) in term of Extraversion, a negative correlation with Extraversion (r = -0.2681, p=0.0401) and a significant positive correlation between Openness and BWAS revised Scale (r = 0.2803, p = 0.0315). We found a significant difference for BWAS original scale, p < 0.0001 and for BWAS revised scale, p < 0.0001, and extraversion, p = 0.0130, suggesting that students express a higher creativity level when compared to residents. Conclusions. Personality traits and communication skills in health-care providers represent two mandatory conditions for an effective doctor-patient relationship. Our study revealed a higher BWAS scores in students suggesting that students have a higher creativity level when compared to residents. In addition, our study suggests that residents with increased Openness might associate a higher level of Extraversion and a lower level of Agreeability. We also noticed that students with an increased level of Openness seem to be more creative.

Organizational learning culture is considered to have a positive influence on employee creativity. Organizations need to consider implementation in increasing creativity through organizational learning culture.

The K-pop icon: Song Mino as an Audio Inspiration in Fashion Design

K-pop is one of the most popular music genres around the world nowadays. This paper aims to use K-pop music, specifically “Aurora” song for Song Mino, as a new type of auditory inspiration to design a creative fashion line and then measure the aesthetic aspect of the designs from fashion specialists’ perspective. Also, the correlation between the use of the inspiration source and the level of creativity was measured. This research will play role in encouraging designers to use digital drawing alongside hand drawing in fashion design, and to expand their horizons about auditory inspiration source to increase creativity. The research followed the applied research approach, through which four designs were made, inspired by "Aurora" song by Song Mino. To evaluate the designs, questionnaires were distributed to a sample that included a group of 53 specialists in the field of fashion design. After that, descriptive statistical analysis was used to analyze the data using Google Forms and Microsoft Excel. The results showed that most specialists' opinions were positive about the aesthetic aspect of the designs and found them strongly related to the inspiration source and have high level of creativity. The researcher also conducted a correlation coefficient test to test the relationship between using the K-pop art as a new auditory inspiration source and the level of creativity in designs. The correlation test was used to measure three aspects of creativity (fluency, flexibility, and originality) separately. The average of the three correlation coefficient values showed a rather strong relationship between creativity and the use of K-pop art as an auditory inspiration source. This research recommends further studies of other auditory inspirations and their role in enhancing creativity in designers.

Análisis de la creatividad y la flexibilidad cognitiva en adolescentes en un espacio de innovación educativa

The study explored the creative capacity —creative fluency and flexibility— and cognitive flexibility in a group of adolescents who regularly participated in the activities of an educational innovation center, analyzing their possible relationship. The implemented design was non-experimental of a quantitative cross-sectional type of exploratory-descriptive scope. The sample consisted of 19 adolescents between the ages of 11 and 16 who regularly attended an educational innovation center. The instruments were the CREA Test of Creative Intelligence (Corbalán et al., 2003) and the Batería III Cog Woodcock-Muñoz Concept Formation Subtest (Woodcock et al., 2005). The results indicated a high level of creativity in the analyzed group compared to the Argentine scale. In turn, associations were found between the variables creative fluency and creative flexibility. Cognitive flexibility was associated with creative flexibility, although it did not register an association with creative fluency. The findings, linked to the type of methodology implemented in the educational center, open new questions and hypotheses about the pedagogical practices and the characteristics of the adolescents who attend these spaces.
