Cognitive Framing: A Case in Problem Posing

Research On and Activities For Mathematically Gifted Students

“…A different approach to creativity, one based on organizational theory, has been taken by Singer and her research team (e.g. Pelczer et al 2013;Voica and Singer 2013). Their framework relies on the concept of cognitive flexibility.…”

Mathematical Problem Posing

“…In a problem-posing context, we consider that a student exhibits cognitive flexibility when the following three conditions are fulfilled (Pelczer, Singer, & Voica, 2013a): the student poses different new problems starting from a given input (i.e., cognitive variety), generates new proposals that are far from the starting item (i.e., cognitive novelty), and he/she is able to change his/her mental frame related to the proposal, if necessary, in generating and solving problems (i.e., change in cognitive framing).…”
