Our paper seeks to understand why social creativity is an important variable for a theory of creative challenges and why educational institutions can, if reimagined, be ideal for developing this capacity. Drawing on auto-ethnographic methods, we reflect on our five-year collaborative project focused on animating and integrating creativity, interdisciplinarity, design, and entrepreneurship for tackling creative challenges. Our findings yield insights about effective pedagogies and institutional configurations for reproducing social creativity. We find that modern traditional academic institutions, dominated by disciplinary structures, cultures, and exogenous pressures that hinder interdisciplinarity and design, insufficiently develop this necessary prosocial capacity. In contrast, we discuss reimagined academic configurations that balance and integrate both disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. We contribute clarifying rationales for why social creativity, comprising interdisciplinarity, design thinking, and entrepreneurial acumen, as well as the university reimagined are critical for more complete theorizing about creative challenges. Those who research, practice, and make policy for social change should find our observations, reflections, and analysis useful.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"33 2","pages":"Article 100051"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50191332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using five examples, it expands on one key feature, a Creative New Normal—with potential challenges and benefits, now and in 20 years. Drawn from chaos and complexity constructs, five colorful examples are used to paint one portrait of the future.

A shift could affect (a) our worldview—furthering a long awaited change in both <em>worldview</em> and view of <em>self</em>-<em>in</em>-<em>world</em>, consistent with an NDS paradigm shift, now 50 years old in the “hard sciences” but only beginning in social sciences; plus (b) educational practice—with an opportunity, given dramatic new interest in our universal “everyday creativity” (versus limitation to an eminent elite in arts and sciences) to open floodgates for creative development. Development of chaos and complexity <em>intuition</em> can boost further this facility. Although some still insist “I'm not creative!” too many have lacked resources, teachers, mentorship and confidence for creative self-development.

Using a playbased assessment with developmentally appropriate, flexible materials and activities that were engaging to young children, trained observers with tablet computers administered the assessments, took photographs and videos, observed problemsolving behaviors, entered the behaviors into a database, reviewed children's performance with others in talent groupings, and made decisions about children's strengths across the ten areas of ability. Across the talent areas, of the 29 behaviors included, the percentage of 18 creative problem-solving behaviors increased across the three years, 9 behaviors declined at age 5 and increased at age 6, and from age 5 to age 6, 4 behaviors declined. The patterns were different in different talent areas. Consistent with results of other studies of this age group, we concluded that agerelated development, teaching methods, culture, and other factors interact in the development of creative problem solving.

Existing literature indicates that factors such as metacognitive awareness, motivation, and emotional intelligence predict academic success among Doctor of Medicine (MD) students. However, the impact of divergent thinking (DT) and convergent thinking (CT) on MD students’ academic success remains uncertain. Moreover, most definitions and theories of giftedness focus on K-12 education, leaving a knowledge gap regarding gifted post-secondary learners, particularly in specialized fields like medicine. The present study aimed to bridge this gap by investigating the role of DT and CT in predicting academic success among 84 gifted post-secondary MD learners. Three assessments were administered: (a) Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices Test, (b) the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (WG-III), and (c) the Alternative Uses Test. Cluster analysis revealed a distinct three-cluster solution. Correlational and multiple regression analyses showed that the originality dimension of DT and the Drawing Conclusions and Recognizing Assumptions subscales of the WG-III were significantly associated with and predictive of the academic success of gifted undergraduate MD students. Notably, IQ was not significantly correlated with students’ grade point average. Recommendations for future research are also discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"33 2","pages":"Article 100058"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50191360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To measure these phases, a 24-item Creative Process Assessment Scale (CPAS) was developed, tested on 2324 participants, and validated with several instruments. This confirmed good reliability for the total score (Omega total: 0.95, Cronbach's alpha: 0.93, retest reliability: 0.87). Bifactor models were computed (with a general factor and either eight or seven specific factors). Combining phases 4 and 5 as core creativity showed the best fit. Validity analyses confirmed the phase model: Correlation patterns to personality traits showed the highest correlations between phase 4 and openness, between phase 7 and conscientiousness, between phase 8 and extraversion and risk-taking, and between phase 2 and the need for cognition. The CPAS correlated highly with creative self-efficacy as well as with domains of creativity and medium with scales measuring creative activity, achievement and behavior.

During a makerspace period that took place for one hour over four days, sixty-two children were asked to create a product from a set of materials they were provided. They chose whether to work individually, with a partner, or in a small group. After each session, participants were asked whether they wanted feedback on their product. Researchers observed the participants while working in the makerspace for behaviors that were characteristic of a fixed or growth mindset, such as whether participants chose to receive feedback, whether they used feedback to improve their product, and how participants reacted to frustrations and failed attempts. Participants also received a mindset rating from instructors who worked with them over the course of the week on a Problem or Project-Based Learning experience. Scores were correlated with two mindset assessments participants completed at the beginning of the week, one adapted from Dweck (2006) and the MAP (Mindset Assessment Profile). The researcher scores of participants’ mindset and teacher scores of participants’ mindsets demonstrated a strong correlation. The two self-assessments used in the study did not show a strong correlation with performance as observed in the makerspace or in the classroom completing PBL-based classroom activities. Seven learning profiles emerged from the data based on participant attitudes (optimistic, approval-seeking, rule-breaking, perfectionistic) and behaviors (flexibility, playfulness, commitment to task). The mindset profiles may prove beneficial as educators develop activities to address mindsets in their classrooms, especially in the context of creative activities and projects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100769,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Creativity","volume":"33 1","pages":"Article 100047"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50194494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
