This article overviews everyday creativity in adolescence, with a focus on medium-and-long term creative projects conducted in- and out-of-school. Almost one thousand Polish adolescents provided quite detailed descriptions of their creative projects conducted within the last year. These activities were classified, with a particular focus on multiple micro-domains. Students most often described creative behaviors performed outside of school as compared to school-related activities. Likelihood of engaging in creativity within different domains as well as the level of creativity were linked to participants’ creative self-concept, creative mindsets, and personality. Limitations and future directions are discussed. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/20008 Tytuł: Teachers’ Creative Self-Efficacy, Self-Esteem, and Creative Teaching in Estonia: a Framework for Understanding Teachers' Creativity-Supportive Behaviour Autorzy: Nemeržitski, Stanislav; Heinla, Eda Abstrakt: Context. Teachers' creative self-efficacy (CSE), or personal beliefs about one's own abilities to recognize and produce creative outcomes, is believed to be one of the factors that support creativity in the classroom and is connected to general self-esteem. Objectives and design. In the present paper, two studies were conducted to map Estonian teachers' CSE and the factors, beliefs and attitudes towards creativity that are related to it, as well as how teachers transfer their CSE into their everyday activities in the classroom. In the first study, Estonian adaptation of Rubenstein et al. (2013) Teaching for Creativity Scales and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Pullmann & Allik, 2000) were used. The second study was based on a qualitative analysis, using in-service teachers' self-reports focusing on their teaching practices. Main outcomes. As a result of both studies, a framework for understanding teachers' CSE is proposed, where selfesteem and perceived societal value of creativity are associated with the manifestation of CSE in the classroom, which in turn transfers into enhancing creativity through teaching for creativity and creative teaching. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/20007 Tytuł: Searching for Wisdom in Children’s Dialogues: A Mixed Approach in Educational Practice Autorzy: Płóciennik, Elżbieta Abstrakt: The paper presents an analysis of diagnostic and exploratory the author’s studies carried out in various Polish cities, whose main purpose was to identify and analyze specific manifestations of wisdom (with creativity as its strong predictor) in older preschool children. Such research and analysis of collected research material would only be possible using mixed methods. Integration of quantitative and qualitative analyses enabled the analysis of collected research materials to be more in-depth and broader. Likewise, when drawing wider conclusions, the use of this approach allowed to generalize results. Combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis of the research material also allowed to compare research results against a number of studies and concepts supporting child development, especially in cognitive sphere. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11320/20003 Tytuł: The Issue of Assessment Criteria for Performance of Creative Tasks with the Example of the Odyssey of the Mind Autorzy: Justyńska, Martyna Abstrakt: Assessment of performance of creative tasks is one of important issues discussed in psychology and pedagogy of creativity. There is no single approach to the best manner of assessment or the determination of explicit assessment criteria. So, how do jurors (judges) cope during competitions? What do they consider when assessing creative efforts? Those issues are discussed in this work. The author studies the Odyssey of the Mind, which is one of the biggest creativity development programmes in the world. The issues discussed in the present paper primarily concern the criteria and manner of assessing performance of creative tasks; they form an introduction to a further study and discussion on the issue of competent judges, assessment, and the function performed by the assessment in the Odyssey of the Mind. 2020-01-01T00:00:00Z
