Subclaims¶

q2 i? In a think-aloud study with 13 fourth graders, all students showed behaviors matching all four CPS elements: understanding the challenge, generating ideas, preparing for action, and planning your approach. → Van Hooijdonk 2023

Evidence¶

Van Hooijdonk 2023¶

Van Hooijdonk, M., Mainhard, T., Kroesbergen, E. H., & Van Tartwijk, J. (2023). Creative problem solving in primary school students. Learning and Instruction, 88, 101823. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2023.101823

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Qualitative think-aloud study in which 13 fourth graders (M age = 9.08) completed a structured science problem task while verbalizing their thoughts; protocols were segmented and coded with a directed content analysis scheme based on the CPS model (Cohen's Kappa = 0.85). The study found "every student showed creative problem solving processes belonging to each of the four main elements". No effect size is printed.

"the main finding of this think aloud study was that every student showed creative problem solving processes belonging to each of the four main elements of the CPS model (understanding the challenge, generating ideas, preparing for action, planning your approach; Isaksen et al., 2011)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• No think-aloud student showed 'appraising tasks' utterances, though all showed 'designing process' utterances within planning your approach — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• The sequence of creative problem solving processes varied across students, with most students showing non-linear, iterative ordering — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
