Abstract

This study starts with the examples and elaborates only a few aspects of “which
are the mental processes to further creative thinking in mathematics education?” We must further
individual and social abilities, we need challenging problems, and the nature of activities in the
classroom must integrate more spontaneous ideas and more (unconscious and intuitive) commonsense
knowledge.

Keywords

Yaratıcılık ve Matematik Eğitimi

Abstract

Çalışmada teorik analiz ve birkaç örneğe yer verilecektir. “Matematik eğitimindeki yaratıcı
düşünceyi geliştirmek için hangi zihinsel süreçlere gerek vardır?” sorusuna ayrıntılı bir şekilde
cevap aranmaktadır. Sınıfta etkinlikler yaparken bireysel ve sosyal yetenekler irdelenmeli,
meydan okuyan problemlere yer verilmeli, farklı fikirlere açık olunmalıdır.

Keywords

Yaratıcılık, Meydan Okuyucular, Kavram Yapıları, Öznel Deneyim Alanları, Bili
şsel Durumlar, Düşüncede Kutupluluk, Sağduyu
