Abstract:

Bibliography: leaves 182-200.<br>The aim of this study is to determine whether an awareness of unconscious processes, as elicited by a dreamwork technique, will increase creative potential. In the present investigation, 54 undergraduate students were randomly divided into three groups. Each group was tested for creativity on two measures: (1) The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, and (2) The Rorschach Test (movement response). For three weeks all subjects completed a dreamwork assignment, which was systematically varied across the three levels of the independant variable. The experimental g

Abstract:

With our modern deluge of information through social media, news and blogs, the importance of giving our children a better understanding of source criticism and critical thinking has become increasingly clear. In the field of critical thinking, the use of argument mapping software, a visual way of structuring arguments, has been shown to increase the understanding of arguments, and college students using the method score as much as three times higher on critical thinking tests. This thesis presents a simplified digital argument mapping tool, developed in order to explore the feasibility of ar

Abstract:

This study is based on the contention that rich descriptions of the behaviour of the children during the process of creating an art piece, as perceived by teachers and mothers of the children, will provide a better understanding of the influence of creative arts on the development and expression of critical thinking. Developing critical thinking dispositions in young people affords them the skills to make thoughtful choices. This qualitative naturalistic, interpretive study sought to investigate the impact of children's participation in a creative arts project on the development of critica

Abstract:

Using guided inquiries in traditional classrooms yields noteworthy learning and engagement results. However, this instructional method is rarely used in non-science fields or in an online setting. Attendees will themselves experience a guided inquiry as they learn about the method’s strengths, broad online and curricular applicability, and underlying theoretical support.

Abstract:

Cognitive reappraisal is an emotion regulation strategy that has been shown effective in down-regulating negative emotions in both psychological and electrophysiological measures. Although there are many studies on cognitive reappraisal, only recently have there been studies differentiating between various ways of employing the strategy. This event-related potential (ERP) study sets out to compare the efficiency and temporal dynamics of three cognitive reappraisal techniques – situation-focused reappraisal, social distancing, and temporal distancing – by measuring their effects on emotional re

Abstract:

The steering documents for Swedish upper-secondary school set great store by the cultivation of critical thinking. It is one of the overarching aims. Yet, statistics indicate that young Swedes are not as good at critical thinking as students from some other countries of comparable socioeconomic status (World Economic Forum 7). One way to address this problem might be to teach argumentation. The goal of this paper is to examine to what extent chapter three in Writing Logically, Thinking Critically—a textbook about argumentation and critical thinking—succeeds in helping students develop critical

Abstract:

This research explores the development of a framework appropriate to evaluate the readiness of a university to engage with knowledge management. Many universities are evolving from traditional bureaucratic, hierarchical structures to become more flexible, adaptable, commercially viable and competitive and knowledge management is becoming increasingly important in this respect. An over view of knowledge management clarifies what the concept is, and a critical review of current frameworks and models identifies gaps and weaknesses specifically in relation to empirical testing, theoretical underpi

Abstract:

The core concern of this practice-based thesis is to consider silence as part of the practice of hand-stitch in order to offer a framework for understanding hand-stitch within contemporary artwork. I achieve this by paying close critical attention to the minutiae of process and materials seen in the plain sewing contained within schoolgirl samplers and in contemporary artworks using hand-stitch. The question at the heart of this thesis is how and what does hand-stitch communicate? I argue that hand-stitch is a form of silent communication for emotion and the body through the themes of Testimon

Faced with the challenges to restructure societies for long term sustainability, greater attention should be given to the design of human settlements and their relationship to each other. This thesis explores the pattern of human settlements and the possibility of finding a solution in the form of networks of Circular Economy Villages (CEVs). Each CEV would integrate energy, water, food and building infrastructure, aligning these with local ecological cycles. This would maximise local production and improve energy efficiency, while reducing both financial and ecological costs. The resear

PAFID is defined as “customer contacts that appear to be precipitated by earlier failures, such as failures to do things right first time, which cause additional and potentially avoidable demands to impinge upon public services”.

The purpose of this study was to establish adolescents' level of political knowledge and whether they are able to think critically about political issues or not.

Nairobi is one of the fastest growing cities in Africa with an average of five hundred people coming to the city on a daily basis. More than seventy percent of these people end up living in the informal settlements. An appropriate model of theological training for church leaders needs to be developed, so as to equip them to work with congregations and communities within the informal settlements, to address the needs and potential of people living in the context of Kibera informal settlements and to bring about spiritual and material transformation in their midst.
