Barth-Cohen, Lauren A.; Braden, Sarah K. – Cognition and Instruction, 2022
Scientific observation is central to classroom inquiry and children's investigations and explanations in science. Young children can struggle with observation, and research has shown that professional scientists who engage in complex observation tasks, observe detailed patterns when they have well-developed disciplinary knowledge. However, fewer…

Pitta-Pantazi, D.; Christou, C.; Demosthenous, E.; Pittalis, M.; Chimoni, M. – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
Mathematical creativity is considered beneficial for learning mathematics. However, research studies that provide empirical evidence of students' mathematical creativity in regular mathematics classrooms are relatively scarce. This study explores the idea of mini-creativity (mini-c), which is defined as the creative processes involved in the…
