“…The media is something connect the source of information to the recipient (Sulisworo & Permprayoon, 2018). Learning media can be defined as a software or a model to deliver educational message or information presented by using a teaching aid (Yazgan-Sag & Emre-Akdoğan, 2016). In mathematics learning, manipulative learning media can develop an understanding of the students towards the abstract concept (Hidayah, Dwijanto, & Istiandaru, 2018).…”

The purpose of this study is describing the implementation of project-based learning model and analysing the student’s creativity improvement in the subject of learning media. We describe the implementation of project-based learning based on our note of the learning syntax during one semester. Then, compared the students’ product to measure their creativity improvement in the aspects of originality, novelty, and flexibility. This study used descriptive-qualitative method and involved the students who took the learning media course as its subjects. The results showed that there was an improvement of the students’ creativity in the project-based learning implementation. The improvement was measured in the making of the manipulatives. The students’ flexibility and novelty were good, while their originality was fair.

“…In mathematics learning, manipulative learning media can develop an understanding of the students towards the abstract concept (Hidayah, Dwijanto, & Istiandaru, 2018). Manipulative media could help students represent abstract concepts in the form of concrete learning media (Yazgan-Sag & Emre-Akdoğan, 2016;Ozel, 2014).…”

“…In relation to ITE students, Bailey (2014) recommends that in order to support pre-service teachers in constructive alternative conceptions about mathematics' learning, providing them with alternate pathways for teaching differently to how they were taught in the past is imperative (Bailey, 2014). Helpful measures that could increase hopeful thinking include formulating clear goals, commit to pursuing them, engage in creative and explorative thinking, promote eagerness and questioning and reframe obstacles as challenges (Stephanou, 2012;Yazgan-Sag & Emre-Akdogan, 2016). Furthermore, Forgasz and Hall (2019) suggest that providing multiple examples of numeracy and how it is embedded across the curriculum can increase the engagement and confidence of all pre-service teachers, including those who self-identify to have weak mathematics and are anxious about using numeracy.…”

The recent introduction of a personal literacy and numeracy test (LANTITE) has been part of tighter accreditation of Initial Teacher Education programs across Australia. This article focuses on pre-service teachers' experiences, beliefs and feelings about the new high-stakes testing regime. The data are drawn from a six-month project intended to evaluate students' experience in a first-year university mathematics unit. The focus in the present article is on students' responses to open-ended questions about their expectations of the unit, their level of confidence in areas of using and teaching mathematics and their thoughts and feelings about their own skill level being assessed. Results from 85 participants indicate that alongside experiencing high levels of mathematics related anxiety, positive and hopeful attitudes towards testing strongly appeared. Individual differences and self-regulated learning processes were also dominant in participants' responses as reported in this article. These findings contribute to the growing body of research on the importance of growth mindset and instilling hope and optimism in pre-service teachers.

“…The prominence of creative thinking in education has been a response to the ongoing technological and scientific development (Leikin, 2013;Yazgan-Sağ & Emre-Akdoğan, 2016). There is no single perspective or definition of creativity (Leikin & Kloss, 2011;Mann, 2006;Sriraman, 2005).…”

Educating Grade 6 students for higher-order thinking and its influence on creativity

2017

Educating students for higher-order thinking provides them with tools that turn them into more critical thinkers. This supports them in overcoming life problems that they encounter, as well as becoming an integral part of the society. This students’ education is attended to by educational organisations that emphasise the positive consequences of educating students for higher-order thinking, including creative thinking. One way to do that is through educational programmes that educate for higher-order thinking. One such programme is the Cognitive Research Trust (CoRT) thinking programme. The present research intended to examine the effect of the participation of Grade 6 students in a CoRT programme on their creative thinking. Fifty-three students participated in the research; 27 participated in a CoRT programme, while 26 did not participate in such programme. The ANCOVA test showed that the students who participated in the CoRT programme outperformed significantly, in creative thinking, the students who did not. Moreover, the students in the CoRT programme whose achievement scores were between 86 and 100 outperformed significantly the other achievement groups of students. Furthermore, students with reported high ability outperformed significantly the other ability groups of students. The results did not show statistically significant differences in students’ creativity attributed to gender.
