Processes Involved in Mathematical Divergent Problem Solving / Linda I. Brandau and John A. Dossey.

The focus of this study was on the processes students used in making mathematical conjectures for five divergent problem situations. The relationship of the processes to creativity factors across the problems was also examined. The results of various cluster analyses and correlational measures indic...

520 |a The focus of this study was on the processes students used in making mathematical conjectures for five divergent problem situations. The relationship of the processes to creativity factors across the problems was also examined. The results of various cluster analyses and correlational measures indicated that students use different sequences of processes for different problems; some problem types elicit more pattern searches than others; and when the processes were viewed in ordered pairs and triples, various sequences resulted. The creativity measures were all significantly correlated, but there were differences on the relationships between the creativity factors and various processes used. (Author/MP)
