Julia Mañero; Carlos Escaño – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Intercreativity is a phenomenon with significant social, cultural and educational implications in the postdigital era. Its meaning refers to the fact of solving problems and making a collective production. However--in a historical and philosophical context that has led to the rise and importance of knowledge production--intercreativity is a…

Amber Beisly; Anne Moffitt – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2025
When children engage in play, they develop essential skills like creativity, flexibility, imagination, and problem-solving. Children who engage in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) activities also build similar skills. Both play and STEAM enable children to ask questions, try different solutions, and develop explanations for…

Vanda Santos; Piedade Vaz-Rebelo; Graça Bidarra – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2023
The introduction of games as a teaching and learning strategy in the classroom is a pedagogical resource that presents excellent results, as it creates situations that allow the students to develop problem solving methods, stimulate their creativity and at the same time generate motivation. The theories of learning are used to describe the motives…

Cheng, Huai; Dai, David Yun; Yang, Panpan; Zhang, Jie; Cheng, Haoyu – Creativity Research Journal, 2021
Transfer, particularly far transfer through analogic mapping and reasoning, is considered one of the mechanisms for creative problem solving. However, the cognitive paradigm of training for analogical problem solving has not met with much success. It is argued by these authors that a pedagogical model that exclusively focuses on training for…

Michael E. Ellis; K. Mike Casey; Geoffrey Hill – Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, 2024
Large Language Model (LLM) artificial intelligence tools present a unique challenge for educators who teach programming languages. While LLMs like ChatGPT have been well documented for their ability to complete exams and create prose, there is a noticeable lack of research into their ability to solve problems using high-level programming…

Lee Fallin; Catherine Turton – Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education, 2025
This opinion piece argues that Design Thinking (DT) can facilitate a more empathetic and student-centred approach to service development and problem-solving in Learning Development (LD). While DT is already established within higher education, we argue it is still underutilised, especially in the context of LD. We start by unpacking the…

Samira Mohamed Ahmed Abdullah; Naila Mohamed Farid Toulan; Ayman Abdel-Hamid Amen – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
Design thinking is a way to create solid designs that responds to design problems and solve it in a creative and suitable way. However, it is not widely recognized in architectural education pedagogy in Egypt for undergraduate. Despite being very efficient in several business avenues but not in architectural pedagogy. So, this paper aims to spot…

Mathias Norqvist; Bert Jonsson; Johan Lithner – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
In mathematics classrooms, it is common practice to work through a series of comparable tasks provided in a textbook. A central question in mathematics education is if tasks should be accompanied with solution methods, or if students should construct the solutions themselves. To explore the impact of these two task designs on student behavior…

Nurit Paz-Baruch; Guy Grovas; Zemira R. Mevarech – Metacognition and Learning, 2025
Fostering creative thinking and promoting metacognitive processes are two major goals of 21st -century education. Recent research has pinpointed the essential role of meta-creativity in the process of creative thinking. Nevertheless, the concept of meta-creativity has not been widely adopted. The purpose of the present study is, therefore,…
