This study aims to investigate the similarities and differences between prospective mathematics teachers’ creative thinking skills in paper-pencil test and on a Geogebra-supported environment in terms of problem-posing. This case study used purposive sampling method for determining the participants. Findings revealed that the activities carried out in the GeoGebra-supported environment were insufficient to produce creative problems, and GeoGebra’s main utility to prospective teachers was in identifying their mistakes related to mathematical concepts and discrepancies among numerical values of the problems posed. The reasons for the low achievement in posing problem were discussed: These were; (i) lack of problem-posing experience, (ii) the structure of problem-posing activity, and (iii) prospective teachers’ mathematical content knowledge.

This study presents an attempt to contribute to the field of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) by conceptualizing systems thinking skills of four- to six-year-old preschool children with the role of age in this particular skill. For this purpose, we developed and tested a method and instruments to assess and conceptualize systems thinking skills of 52 preschool children in early childhood education contexts from Turkey and Germany. By employing qualitative case study research, we concluded that the young children showed some signs of complex understanding regarding systems thinking in terms of detecting obvious gradual changes and two-step domino and/or multiple one-way causalities, as well as describing behavior of a balancing loop. However, their capacity was found to be limited when it comes to detecting a reinforcing loop, understanding system mechanisms by acknowledging the unintended consequences, detecting hidden components and processes, demonstrating multi-dimensional perspective, solving problems through high-leverage interventions, and predicting the future behavior of the system. Age had a notable effect on the total systems thinking mean scores of the participants.

Metacognitive strategy is a learning strategy based on the metacognitive concept put forward by John Flavell that defines Metacognitive as the ability of individuals to manage their cognitive processes independently. By applying metacognitive strategies in the learning process, students are trained to get used to planning, controlling, and evaluating their thought processes in learning so that they are increasingly honed critical thinking skills as well as creative thinking skills. This ability is important to master so that students can have a sense of responsibility towards their own learning. This metacognitive reading framework should be familiar to teachers who integrate the process before reading, at the time of reading, and after reading on the process when teaching learners effective understanding strategies. Teachers are also encouraged to use metacognitive strategy models, as students can learn how to use them independently. In this article, the data were obtained from literature of study review and from other document analysis. Based on the study, metacognitive strategies help learners to use the right strategies in solving problems in reading and help students to stop their dependency using a dictionary. Metacognitive strategies train a person in learning by putting forward Higher Order Thinking Skills in reflective learning schemes

Critical And Creative Thinking

Critical thinking and creative thinking are important dimension in teaching of 21st century to facing the challenges of the industrial revolution 4.0. The aim of this research was to analyze undergraduate preservice teachers’ critical and creative thinking skills on a biochemistry course. It was conducted using case study to analyse real circumstance that happened in biochemistry course.  The instruments was observation sheet, test items of critical thinking skills, test items of creative thinking skills and questionnaires were used to determine the responses students towards learning activity. Participant was 30 undergraduate preservice chemistry teachers in 2015. The finding of this research showed that biochemistry course only emphasizes on critical thinking skills and not provided briefing creative thinking skills. This means that the biochemistry course has not showed students’ balance skills on critical and creative thinking skills. This study suggest that need further research to develop a biochemistry program who can improve students’ critical thinking and creative thinking.

The present research aimed to identify the role of using smartphone applications in developing the creative thinking skills among students in the first grade of secondary education in the computer course. The descriptive and analytical approach was adopted, and the research tool was represented in the questionnaire. The research population included all the first-grade students of Abha Department of Education in Asir region, which amounted to (367) students. About (88) students were randomly chosen. The research concluded several conclusions, the most important of which is that there is a role for using smartphone applications in developing the skill of (fluency) among students in the first grade of secondary education in the computer course with relative weight (71.2%), developing the skill of (Flexibility) with relative weight (70.2%), developing the skill of (originality) with relative weight (77.2%), and developing the skill of (brainstorming) with relative weight (73.8%). The researcher recommended the necessity of using smartphone applications because they are one of the most important sources for building, strengthening and developing creative thinking skills in the educational environment in which the education department operates, and increasing interest in these applications by examining the experiences of developed countries and making use of them in the best way possible, and preparing training programs required to increase awareness among students in the first grade of secondary education of the importance of using smartphone applications and their relationship to developing creative thinking skills.

Purpose of Study: Creative thinking skills are indispensable for the investigation of a problem, finding and analyzing facts and data in solving the problem. The role of creative thinking in learning to prepare students to be a problem solver. The lack of empowerment of the creative thinking skills of students in the biology classroom can be caused by the non-optimal application of learning strategies. Methodology: This study was a quasi-experimental study designed to explore the effect of GI learning strategies, TTW, GITTW, and conventional learning in empowering creative thinking skills of students in high school. The research sample was 162 students of X grade of science majors SMA Muhammadiyah 1 in Surabaya, Indonesia academic year 2015/2016. Creative thinking skills of students measured by essay test given at the beginning and end of the study. Results: The results showed that the application of learning strategies affected the creative thinking skills of students. GITTW learning strategy can maximize the creative thinking skills empowerment. Also, note that the strategy TTW could improve creative thinking skills were higher than GI and conventional strategy. Implications/Applications: The GITTW strategy can be considered to be used by teachers as a learning strategy to empower creative thinking skills.

Creative thinking involves the activities of complex skills and cognitive abilities, personality factors and motivations, styles, strategies, and metacognitive skills. Therefore, creative-thinking skills can reflect the students’ personality considered as unique individuals. On the other hand, the effectiveness of education can be seen from teaching practices and class climate. The application of guided inquiry learning (GIL) and problem-based learning (PBL) models is one effort to improve the effectiveness of education. This research is a mixed-method case study that aims to describe the behaviour of groups of students, studying with GIL and PBL, with high, moderate, and low creative-thinking skills. The mixed-method analysis applied is a concurrent embedded strategy that combines primary data (qualitative) and secondary data (quantitative) to complement each other. The results showed that the application of the GIL and PBL models was proved to be effective for learning explanatory writing skills. In terms of the creative-thinking skills, the higher the students' creative-thinking skills are, the higher their explanatory writing skills will be. Students who have high creative-thinking skills also exhibit prominent attitudes during the learning process, such as intensity of asking frequently with substantive questions on the subject matter and having good opinion and leadership skills.
