The zone of proximal creativity: What dynamic assessment of divergent thinking reveals about students’ latent class membership     

《Contemporary educational psychology》2021

Divergent Thinking is a domain-general mental attribute closely associated with creativity that can be quantified through the use of text-mining algorithms. Past research has shown that students’ Divergent Thinking is malleable in response to relatively simple contextual prompts. In addition, there is substantial variance in the degree to which individual students’ Divergent Thinking is malleable, suggesting the presence of a student-specific zone-of-proximal-development in relation to creativity. Here, we adopted a dynamic assessment paradigm that included multiple conditions under which student Divergent Thinking was measured and fit a latent profile analysis model to that dynamic assessment data. We found that, although on average the Originality of student responses can be augmented through a prompt to generate surprising or unusual ideas, three latent classes emerged that differed significantly on their patterns of augmentation. These three latent classes were termed: (a) Conventional Thinkers (7.80% of the sample), whose response to the Divergent Thinking task were highly constrained and unoriginal across all conditions (b) Prompted Shifters (66.56%), whose Originality significantly increased across conditions, and (c) Idea Generators (25.64%), whose responses were highly original across all conditions. These latent profiles were validated in regard to personality characteristics and domain-specific creative activities, with Idea Generators reporting significantly more Openness and Intellect, less Industriousness, and more creative activities across the domains of Literature, Music, Sports, Visual Art, Science, and Cooking than did the other latent classes.  相似文献   

Dealing with disagreement: The roles of topic familiarity and disagreement explanation in evaluation of conflicting expert claims and sources     

《Learning and Instruction》2020

Learners may increasingly encounter conflicting expert reports. However, little is known about how they deal with this challenge. We examined how learners' familiarity with a controversial historical topic affects their epistemic judgments of conflicting expert claims and sources, the interplay of their claim and source evaluation strategies, and their meta-epistemic understanding of the legitimacy of the disagreement (absolutist, multiplist, and evaluativist perspectives). In two studies, topic familiarity increased agreement with belief-consistent expert claims and the perceived trustworthiness of the expert who presented these claims. Topic familiarity also impacted the coordination of evaluation strategies and led to greater reliance on knowledge-based validation. However, topic familiarity did not affect meta-epistemic understanding of the legitimacy of the controversy. In the second study, reading an explanation about reasons for disagreements between historians resulted in higher evaluativism. Teaching about expert disagreement may be a productive approach for promoting appreciation of the diversity of knowledge.  相似文献

Libraries and Spatial Literacy: Toward Next-Generation Education     

Benjamin D. Branch 《College & Undergraduate Libraries》2014,21(1):109-114

The role of the library is to assist citizens in skills development critical to national interest and empowerment as literacy ambassadors, in general. Specifically, the work by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (1994) indicates that spatial literacy is for every citizen and not just a set of workforce specialists. Hence, the use of maps in decision making and problem solving will become fundamental to all professions, including library professionals. Thus, a spatial literacy awareness and rationale for such as standard job ability is discussed as a future librarian workforce proficiency and knowledge transfer medium.  相似文献   

大学生群体极化现象的社会心理学分析     

赵石强 《哈尔滨学院学报》2014,35(9):136-139

群体极化现象是指群体成员一开始具有某种偏向,在经过讨论后群体朝偏向的方向继续移动,直至形成极端的结果。大学生是一个特殊的群体,他们朝气蓬勃、富于激情,看重个人名誉,充满正义感,具备较强的集体观念,组织性纪律性强。大学生的这些特征也使得这一群体在事实上更加容易发生极端化的情况。防治大学生群体极化要从重视传统,加强极端化后果教育,注重观点和意见的多样性与平衡,融入协商民主理念等多个方面共同着手。  相似文献

新诗对话式教学与大学生价值观培养探索     

方长安  方舟 《海南师范大学学报(社会科学版)》2011,24(6):159-162

高校新诗对话式教学,就是改变教师在上、学生在下的观念,学生与老师以平等姿态研讨诗歌,教师更多的时候只是介绍知识背景,引出话题,参与对话,虽发出声音但不硬性要求学生接受,相互尊重,砥砺思想。“对话式”教学不仅可以培养学生自主学习的意识和创新思维能力,而且有助于发掘新诗的现代精神,提高学生的人文价值判断力和审美力。  相似文献
