The Teacher's Role in Fostering Collective Creativity in Elementary Classroom Settings
Ayman Aljarrah; Jo Towers
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (45th, Reno, NV, Oct 1-4, 2023)
In a research study designed to investigate the emergence of collective creativity in elementary classroom settings, and in which teachers' decision-making practices were analyzed alongside both the teachers' observed teaching practices in their classrooms and their students' problem solving actions, the first author developed four metaphors for collective mathematical creativity and linked the entailments of these metaphors to teachers' actions. In this paper, we discuss in detail these entailments and teacher actions, present a framework for collective creativity, and reflect on the implications for practice and further research.
