This study aims to investigate the impact of the Creative Problem-Solving (CPS)model on students’ creative thinking skills in mathematics education. Recent studies have shown that despite the emphasis on creativity and higher-order thinking skills in mathematics curricula, many students still struggle to generate…

Objective This study aimed to investigate the relationship between creativity components in numerical and spatial mathematical problem-solving contexts and to identify the characteristics of products generated by students with different levels of creativity. Methods The study involved 167 sixth-grade students (aged…

Studying creative problem-solving requires tasks with real-world relevance and minimal domain-specific knowledge. The widely used alternative uses test (AUT) meets these criteria but primarily measures divergent thinking-generating many ideas without immediate judgment. However, creative problem-solving also requires…

Resolving misrepresentations is key when faced with ambiguous information. For example, problem-solvers may misrepresent the constraints of a problem, while readers may misrepresent parts of a sentence. This work investigates how a shared cognitive process might facilitate the restructuring of representations during…

Many Chinese parents experience anxiety stemming from their financial circumstances, limited time available for parental accompaniment, and insufficient cultural enrichment within the home. Fearing that these factors may adversely affect their children's academic achievements, they recognize that it is particularly…

The ability to utilize simulations to address problems is emphasized in current science standards, but learners often struggle with scientific tasks involving simulations. Understanding the gap between beginner and expert scientific problem solvers in simulation settings is useful for helping students to develop their…

Research on construal level theory suggests that psychological distance enhances creativity, as people tend to be more creative when considering events or objects that are spatially or temporally distant. With immersive technologies, individuals can use different forms of digital representations (or avatars) for work…

Background This study aims to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence and mental well-being among university students and to reveal the mediating role of problem-solving skills in this relationship. Methods Of these students, 707 participated, and the Emotional Intelligence Trait Scale, the…

Interactive problem solving has been proposed as an experimental manipulation that significantly increases the success of solving various matchstick algebra problems by allowing solvers to interact with physical representations of the problems. In contrast to this claim, we hypothesized that the influence of…

Background Mental process is a cornerstone of success in the rapid sports industry, where players must navigate high-pressure, dynamic environments. Cognitive flexibility is essential for adaptability and effective problem-solving, yet its relationship with negative psychological traits remains underexplored. This…

The impact of fluency and comprehension on mathematical word problem solving is explored using data on fifth-graders who took part in the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). The Multiple Deficit Model (MDM) suggests that the impact of fluency and comprehension on mathematical word problem solving should be…

Background Problem-solving appraisal is an important cognitive process that influences how individuals manage and cope with stress. Negative appraisals of problem-solving ability are associated with adverse mental health outcomes. Methods We conducted a meta-analysis using a random-effects model to synthesize the…

Introduction Mathematical problem-solving is fundamental for academic success and real-life challenges and involves more than procedural and computational skills. As most primary school mathematics problems are text-based, reading comprehension self-efficacy may be closely associated with students’ performance in…
