The key issues explored included the aims, goals and perspectives of research activities in relation to the challenging and educational aspects of research, criteria for selection of research topics, development of skills for augmentation of basic and applied science, build up of creative thinking for data analysis and synthesis, the advisor's contribution, research assessment and feedback to the academic environment, aspects of research funding to support educational needs and ethical aspects of research. [source] Promoting creative thinking through the use of ICTJOURNAL OF COMPUTER ASSISTED LEARNING, Issue 3 2002S. Wheeler Abstract A great deal has been written about the use of web-based technologies such as the Internet in promoting learning in education. In schools, research has focused primarily on social interaction and group work, student achievement levels and curriculum development. Very little study seems to have been brought to bear upon the promotion of creative thinking by the use of online technologies, and this paper attempts to contribute to this field of study. This paper reports on a pilot study which has investigated the creative impact of information and communication technology (ICT) in a rural primary school in South-west England. The school is unique because it provides a personal networked computer for each of its 41 Year 6 students (aged 10,11 years). A small group of students were interviewed about the learning activities they engaged in over the year, and this paper reports on initial findings with a special emphasis on creative working and thinking (n = 6). A model of creativity is presented with three discrete but related modes of activity , problem solving, creative cognition, and social interaction. The paper provides new findings about the nature of creativity in the context of computer based learning environments. [source] Imagining the Future: What Anarchism Brings to EducationJOURNAL OF PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION, Issue 1 2009JENNIFER LOGUE The authors review Judith Suissa's provocative book, Anarchism and Education: A Philosophical Perspective, a text that demonstrates the central role of education in anarchist theory. Suissa compellingly argues against the charges that anarchism is overly idealistic and impractical, instead seeing its potential for innovative and liberatory educational change. The authors suggest, however, that an enhanced conversation among critical pedagogy, antiracist pedagogy and anarchist thinking on education can help to show both the continued relevance of radical and creative thinking, and that anarchist thought has been part of the development of oppositional, critical, collaborative, teaching and learning projects. [source] Evaluating the use of multimedia authoring with dyslexic learners: a case studyBRITISH JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, Issue 3 2001Yota Dimitriadi This paper reports on the findings of a case study set up to explore the possible benefits that dyslexic learners might have when engaging in the creation of their own multimedia project. Two children with specific learning difficulties worked with the author to develop a multimedia presentation. The children developed authoring skills (such as planning and drafting, composition, revision and reflection, proof reading and presentation) and became active, motivated learners. It is believed that the open-ended character of a multimedia authoring package can encourage creative thinking and interest for content and style of presentation. [source] Understanding creativity: The manager as artistBUSINESS STRATEGY REVIEW, Issue 2 2009Jörg Reckhenrich "Think outside the box" is the slogan of countless creativity experts who rightly connect creative thinking to corporate innovation. Jörg Reckhenrich, Martin Kupp and Jamie Anderson advocate, instead, that you think outside the canvas. A review of the thinking of the German artist, Joseph Beuys, shows how managers can unleash bold new ideas. [source] | ||||||||||
