Abstract

The Creativity of an Aha! Moment and Mathematics Education presents the implementation of Bisociation and constructivist theory into mathematics learning in school and college. The book has two goals: (1) to look into classroom facilitation, emergence, and depth of knowledge assessment of an Aha! Moment insight, and (2) to look into the connections between Bisociation theory and the fields of creativity and learning theories. This edited volume consists of empirical and conceptual studies comprehensively and in-depth about the creativity of Aha! Moments. This book is the first book that contains the application of Aha! Moments that will certainly encourage readers from mathematics and natural science teachers, human creativity researchers, librarians, and computer experts to dig deeper into the concept and application of creativity Aha! Moments. The volume’s editors hope that readers will have new opportunities to reflect on the critical role of creativity in learning and teaching mathematics at schools.

Résumé

la créativité d'un Aha! Moment and Mathematics Education présente la mise en œuvre de la théorie de la bisociation et du constructivisme dans l'apprentissage des mathématiques à l'école et au collège. Le livre a deux objectifs: (1) se pencher sur l'animation en classe, l'émergence et la profondeur de l'évaluation des connaissances d'un Aha! Moment insight, et (2) examiner les liens entre la théorie de la bisociation et les domaines de la créativité et des théories de l'apprentissage. Ce volume édité se compose d'études empiriques et conceptuelles complètes et approfondies sur la créativité d'Aha! Des moments. Ce livre est le premier livre qui contient l'application de Aha! Des moments qui encourageront certainement les lecteurs des professeurs de mathématiques et de sciences naturelles, les chercheurs en créativité humaine, les bibliothécaires et les experts en informatique à approfondir le concept et l'application de la créativité Aha! Des moments. Les éditeurs du volume espèrent que les lecteurs auront de nouvelles occasions de réfléchir sur le rôle critique de la créativité dans l'apprentissage et l'enseignement des mathématiques dans nos écoles.
