Title: Teacher Actions to Foster Creativity in Calculus
Fostering mathematical creativity in the classroom requires intentional actions on the part of the instructor. We examine the teaching actions that students in a creativity-based Calculus I course report as contributing to their sense of creativity. Based on interview data, we found the four overall types of teaching actions: Task-Related, Teaching-Centered, Inquiry Teaching, and Holistic Teaching. We discuss subtypes as well as concrete actions, to provide actionable steps practitioners can take to foster students’ creativity.  more » « less

    In this paper, we describe the student-reported affective outcomes from teaching actions of professors involved in a professional development experience to explicitly value creativity in their Calculus 1 courses. Using the four main teaching themes that emerged (Task-Related, Inquiry Teaching, Teacher-Centered, and Holistic Teaching), we further explored the data for affective outcomes resulting from teaching actions that foster student creativity. We observed five distinct affective outcomes: Enjoyment, Confidence, Comfort, Negative then Positive Feelings, and Negative Feelings. Enjoyment and Confidence were the most reported affective outcomes from the creativity-fostering teaching actions. Particularly, Enjoyment was reported the most from Holistic Teaching and Task-Related teaching actions; Confidence was reported the most from Holistic Teaching actions among all the types. Finally, we offer concrete creativity-based teaching actions that have the capacity to build students’ mathematical enjoyment and confidence.

    Fostering students’ mathematical creativity necessitates certain instructional actions - one of which is designing and implementing tasks that foster creativity. Drawing on the literature on mathematical creativity, we describe existing research-based features of tasks for eliciting student creativity, or creativity-based tasks, and provide suggestions for implementation of such tasks. Based on these features, we analyzed two instructors’ first experiences designing and implementing creativity-based tasks in Calculus I. Both instructors’ frequent use of the multiple- solutions feature suggests that this feature could be an entry-point for designing and implementing creativity-based tasks for other instructors seeking to foster creativity.

    Through participation in a research project on fostering creativity in calculus, two instructors showed shifts in their beliefs on teaching. Participation in the project entailed creating mathematical tasks designed to elicit creative responses from students. Support for task development included participation in weekly online professional development sessions. In this paper, we share one instructor’s shifts in beliefs as well as alignment of her pre-existing beliefs with pedagogical actions. Preliminary analysis of her entrance tickets to the professional development sessions and her exit interview indicates that this instructor a) shifted her previous beliefs about a perceived time pressure and b) manifested her existing beliefs into actions regarding multiple-approach tasks.

    Instructor professional development in physics often focuses on a linear path towards using research-based teaching methods. However, this does not reflect how instructors frame their teaching. Instead, we propose a professional development focus on supporting physics instructors' creativity in teaching. Creativity is important as instructors teach in diverse contexts and hold diverse educational values. Creativity research indicates that having a well-structured space to explore many ideas can support creativity. We investigate this for the case of PhysPort, a website for physics professional development. We present results from interviews with PhysPort users, to show how they joyfully explore, feel trust in materials on the site because they are research-based, and use ideas from PhysPort creatively. We also discuss how better site organization could support users' creativity more. Through this case study, we encourage designers of instructor professional development to consider supporting instructors' teaching creativity as a key goal.

    Creativity has been shown to improve student learning and retention and is also one of the top skills wanted by employers in computing. However, it is seldom a clear component for most computing courses and is difficult to measure as a course outcome. This paper describes a course specifically designed for student retention with creativity as the central component, and a research study that investigated students’ perspectives on what creativity is, how it pertains to them based on a set of twelve traits, and how this course has impacted their creativity. Students indicated that this course was the most creative course that they have taken and our data shows that it influenced their self-reported creativity. Out of the traits we provided, open-minded and curious were the two selected by our students as top characteristics of creativity. We discuss our observations from this study and provide a qualitative analysis.
