“…There is growing and convincing evidence that engaging in creative arts activities can promote improvements in perceived physical and mental health, social functioning and wellbeing in long-term conditions (Franklin, 2017;Fincher, 1991;Grewal, et al, 2019;Huss et al, 2015;Kaimal& Arslanbek, 2020;Kara, 2020b;Keefer & Haj-Broussard, 2020;Olagbaju & Popoola, 2020;Secker et al, 2017). It is sometimes argued that the richness of the personal visual imagination of people relates to the ability to create artistic / creative images (Pérez-Fabello & Campos, 2007;Yilmaz & Argun, 2018).…”

Although visual creativity in art affects all variables of the learning and teaching process, no measurement tool has been found in the Turkish literature regarding the level of students’ visual creativity in art. In this study, a measurement tool was developed to measure visual creativity levels of primary school students in art and evidence regarding the construct validity and reliability of the scale was determined. The research was carried out with 381 primary school students in the 1st and 4th grades of primary school. 48.5% (185) of the students are female and 51.5% (196) of them are male. The scale, whose content validity was provided by expert opinions and literature review, was one-dimensional and had high construct validity based on confirmatory and exploratory factor analyzes. In addition, it was found that the Scale of Visual Creativity in Art had correlation with the perceived visual creativity scale and the scale developed had high criterion validity. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis results showed that the scale is structurally one-dimensional and had a high validity. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the one-dimensional form of the scale is .95. In addition, results of item-total correlations of the scale were tested and discussed.

“…Literacy can be stated as the ability to read and write, and is often related to counting or arithmetic (Permatasari, 2015;Suragangga, 2017;Irianto & Febrianti, 2017;Bursal & Polat, 2020). Literacy is also stated as the ability of a person in understanding, utilizing, interpreting, and reflecting written text in order to achieve necessary objectives (Bernardo-Hinesley, 2020;Harsiati, 2018;Indah, Mania & Nursalam, 2016;Keefer & Haj-Broussard, 2020). Literacy can be understood as the conscience within a person to think critically and creatively, and is founded by the written tradition (Maryati & Priatna, 2018;Gibbs, 2020).…”

The aim of this research is to describe and explore the statistical literacy of middle school students in solving the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) problems. This research utilized the qualitative approach, with the research type being descriptive-explorative. The research subjects consisted of 6 Grade 8 students from Muhammadiyah Middle School 6 of Malang in Malang Regency, Indonesia. Two students had a high mathematical ability, two others had a moderate ability, and the last two had low ability. The data analysis technique applied in this research was the interactive technique, composed of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The data collection for this research involved testing and interviews. The utilized test consisted of an adaptation of TIMSS for the materials of data and opportunities. Interview guidelines were used to support the data collected from the test. The research results indicated that low-ability, moderate-ability, and high-ability students were similar in that they were able to understand the problems. The difference among students of across different categories lies in data processing and data communication. Students with high mathematical abilities could process data and communicate them in detail, while those with moderate abilities could process data and communicate them but not in detail, and students with low abilities could only explain the mathematical problems.

“…Identifying a ritual or a tradition as syncretic helps us follow the history that shapes religions and cultures and understand that they have complex origins and are reconstructed through a process of selection and synthesis (Bronner & Shulman, 2020;Keefer & Haj-Broussard, 2020;Koepping, 1994), which involves processing, interpretation, adaptation of traditional symbols and customs to the new culture, and adoption of foreign contents. The outcome is a dual and sometimes even multiple identity that contributes to the preservation of the ethnic identity, to meaningful intergenerational communication in the immigrant family, and to continuity of the tradition in modern society.…”

This article discusses ethnic activism in advancing a religious holiday in the absorbing society among 1.5 generation social-political activists who immigrated to Israel from Ethiopia. The findings show that syncretism was created in the identity, and in the organization and leadership patterns of the Ethiopian leaders that reflected their goals. By displaying symbols of their ethnic identity, they struggled over the right of their excluded minority group to ethnic otherness and its inclusion in the collective space. They stressed the importance of these ethnic celebrations as a factor that unifies the people and the symmetry of this unity. They served as a bridge between generations, between tradition and modernity, and between the absorbing and the absorbed. The article supplies essential insights on how young leaders use their ethnic tradition as a resource for the recruitment of cultural, social, and political capital for uniting a minority group and integrating it into society.
