Drawing on two qualitative case studies conducted in Chile: Designing Fog Collectors and Designing a Smart Trash Bin, the research investigates how students’ learning unfolds through sensorimotor engagement, material manipulation, and technologically mediated collaboration. Using non-participant observation and micro-interviews, the study examines how cognition becomes distributed across bodies, artifacts, and environments in both analog and digital ecologies. Findings from the first case reveal that creativity was enacted through embodied interaction with materials, where students “thought with their hands,” transforming scientific ideas into tangible understanding through collective experimentation and environmental feedback. In contrast, the second case shows a technologically mediated embodiment, in which students extended their cognitive processes through digital tools such as 3D modeling, Arduino programming, and artificial intelligence. Across both contexts, cognition and creativity emerged as ecological and participatory phenomena, grounded in co-regulation and shared sense-making. The study advances the 3E cognition framework as a proof of concept for understanding and designing STEAM learning environments that integrate material, social, and technological dimensions. By operationalizing post-cognitivist theory, the 3E approach offers a transferable qualitative model that bridges theory and practice, demonstrating how creativity and collaboration can be cultivated through ecological, distributed, and relational forms of learning in 21st-century education.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47729,"journal":{"name":"Thinking Skills and Creativity","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 102109"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145797102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Hong Kong (China) and Macao (China), creative pedagogies exhibited a significant positive direct effect on creative thinking skills, while negative effects were observed in Singapore and South Korea. Notably, creative self-efficacy consistently exerted a partial mediating role across all regions, with this mediating effect amplified in schools with higher openness to creativity in Hong Kong (China) and Singapore, but attenuated in Macao (China) and South Korea. The findings have implications for tailoring policies to reconcile creative pedagogies with regional norms and inspire future research on Confucian cultural variations in these mechanisms within East Asian educational contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47729,"journal":{"name":"Thinking Skills and Creativity","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 102112"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145797149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In resource-constrained settings, such as collaborative business decision-making, external facilitation is often infeasible, placing the burden of coordination and reasoning on the participants themselves. While teams can often manage tasks and logistics, they frequently struggle with the deeper cognitive demands of collaboration including clarifying goals, articulating reasoning, and evaluating assumptions. Existing facilitation frameworks often overlook the real-time reasoning needed for high-quality problem solving. As a result, groups without trained facilitators are vulnerable to shallow framing, decision inertia, and missed opportunities for reflection. To address this gap, we propose a lightweight, portable solution comprising a set of theory-driven facilitation cards that guide users through key cognitive moves during discussion without requiring prior training. We developed a deck of 25 cognition-oriented prompts, grounded in cognitive psychology and triple-space interaction theory. In a study involving 30 self-facilitated dyads completing 12-session business simulations, the card format measurably enhanced participants’ ability to frame problems and sustain reflective reasoning. Utterance-level analysis of 6969 conversational turns revealed that specific cards triggered deeper reasoning in both immediate responses and delayed turns, suggesting lasting cognitive activation. Teams that engaged more with the cards showed greater task improvement over time. The findings of this study inform the design of cognitive prompts and suggest routes for future integration involving adaptive, real-time support for self-guided, cognitively demanding collaboration scenarios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47729,"journal":{"name":"Thinking Skills and Creativity","volume":"60 ","pages":"Article 102130"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145938626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
