A Study of the Criteria for Lessons that Build Students' Creativity and Character - Focused on Secondary Mathematics Classes -

Abstract

This study focuses on the criteria for lessons that develop secondary students` creativity and character in mathematics classes. Literature used in this study is related to the future direction of education (e.g., Core competencies, Information and Communication Technology, Constructivism education) and intent of the revised mathematics curriculum. Lesson criteria for developing students` creativity and character include educational content associated with the real-world contexts, use of tools and resources, active participation and interaction, problem-solving skills, teachers` attitudes, and the classroom environment. This study suggests ways to implement mathematics lessons that build students` creativity and character.
