The purpose of this study was to identify instructional components supporting students' interest and creativity in American middle school science classrooms. Two 7th grade classrooms were selected, and observed for 11 class periods each. Results showed that hands-on and small group activities were the most effective ways to increase students' interest. The teachers' instructional approaches, such as individualized paced teaching, sufficient peer teaching, permissive atmosphere, various media, and purpose-focused summary game were found to influence students' interest. To enhance students' creativity, increasing interest, making hypothesis, and trying to various experimental method with sufficient time were identified as effective components.

Key areas of digital contents, the games and animation industries are increasingly expanding. Therefore, training of a specialized workforce is required in accordance with these enterprises' growing demand. Education in the field of games and animation lies in cultivating talents with creative thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Thus, this paper aims to propose a PBSL teaching model for creative convergent talent through game and animation projects. The study will focus on the characteristics of creative convergence talents, project teaching, and related job competencies for game and animation education. Based on literature research, a 'Project Based Self Learning' instructional model is presented, in which creative thinking and collaboration competencies are explained in a way they can be performed by the learner. As a case study, D University's class was applied with PBSL. A survey showed that the autonomy aspects were higher than the creativity and convergence attitudes, indicating that the students improved their autonomy and motivation. However, the team composition needs further supplementation.

The purpose of this study is to identify a domain-specificity of the scientific creativity and the component of scientific creativity. Conducted from theoretical study, this study suggests that a domain-specific view of creativity offers a more useful and constructive components of scientific creativity based on the literature associated with the component of scientific creativity. Scientific creativity has a domain-specific component and so there is need to distinguish scientific creativity from creativity in general. As a result, scientific creativity is different from other creativity it is concerned with scientific knowledge, science process skill, creative scientific problem finding and solving and so on. And since scientific creativity is a kind of ability, it is possible to improve through a scientific creativity program.

Creativity is a fine ability among major values of human resource in knowledge-based society. The purpose of this study is to identify the components of the informatics creativity based on domain-specificity and confluence theory. To explore these components, a three-round, classical Delphi process was administered with an expert panel of 31 individuals. All members of the expert panel initially responded to open-ended questions, and the qualitative results were analyzed. The subsequent two rounds of the Delphi required quantitative responses in which the expert panel was asked to indicate the level of importance using a five point Likert scale associated with specific items. As a result of the Delphi survey, total of 32 items were selected as three core areas such as congnitive, affective and environmental components of informatics creativity.

In this research, cases of classes for enhancing mathematical creativity are examined in order to explore how to improve methods of math instructions. The objective of the research is to design a creative, efficient math class of superior quality, supplementing the current educational curricula. To this end, features and elements of creative math class are classified into three categories: assignment characteristics, teacher's role, and teaching environment. Based on these, two high school teachers were selected for case study of creative instructions. By observing and analyzing their classes, the research identified main elements of creative classes and their characteristics according to the three categories. The research also explored how to revitalize creative math class by eliciting opinions of researchers and educational experts.

Recently, the rapid change in the technical environment and under global competition, there has been an increasing attention to the creativity among core competency of organization. Particularly, creativity is an initiative for technological innovations and a primary key factor to the success. Systematic understanding towards creativity is required to derive sophisticated creativity. However, previous researches involved in only one or two elements of creativity made it difficult to understand the holistic relations. Furthermore, the objective measurement tool of creativity is insufficient. Therefore, this study analyzes creativity from each level and clarifies the elements that can coordinately measure that. First, the study suggests three levels that compose creativity. Second, the study not only clarifies the factors influencing creativity from each level but also develops the evaluation index. The creativity level assessment model proposed in the study is capable of providing a guide-line that evaluates, and therefore enhance, the organization's competencies and potentials of creativity.

Creativity is emerging as one of the key components in every areas. In mathematics education, creativity or mathematical creativity is emphasized even though the definition of the term is inconsistence among every research. The purpose of this research was to identify the nature of mathematical creativity and provide the ways of strengthening it in the mathematics classroom. For this, students' mathematical strategies and problems in the elementary mathematics textbook were analyzed. The results showed that mathematically gifted students used a limited strategies and the problems in the textbooks were too simple to stimulate students' mathematical creativity. For the enhancement of students' mathematical creativity, we need to develop mathematically rich tasks and refine teacher education programs.
