The current examined the roles of cognitive strategies using Chi's framework in mobile learning. Three conditions (active, constructive, and interactive) were created for a college statistics I course where students were randomly assigned to each condition. The results indicate constructive and interactive support students' problem solving and…

This study examined and categorized the views of undergraduate college students in the Philippines and correlated those with similar patterns of views regarding the use of Design Thinking (DT) in their Philosophy course. The QMethodology was used to analyze qualitative data using PQMethod (Schmolck & Atkinson, 2013) software quantitatively.…

Metaphor generation is both a creative act and a means of learning. When learning a new concept, people often create a metaphor to connect the new concept to existing knowledge. Does the manner in which people generate a metaphor, via sudden insight (Aha! moment) or deliberate analysis, influence the quality of generation and subsequent learning…

Idea evaluation is a critical activity in the creative process due to its role in making a decision about what idea(s) should be developed further and implemented, or whether more ideas should be generated. Confidence in the correctness of the evaluation plays a key role in making that decision. Emerging evidence suggests that inner speaking, the…

The main concern of this article is to introduce the concept of the authentic gesture as a vital, largely self-determined expression of the child and to make it fruitful for art education. Because of the assumed educational importance of the concept, some hints to other learning areas will also be given. This should be done from a historical and…

This paper presents a methodology for exploring the potential of artificial intelligence in supporting divergent thinking within academic arts education. Thirteen students from Rome Fine Arts Academy engaged with excerpts from Shakespeare's "Hamlet," using artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as Kobi, Chat GPT, and Midjourney to…
