The purpose of this study is to analyze a new measurement method in the examination of the creative thinking abilities of prospective mathematics teachers. CPPA (Creative Problem Posing Activity) is a method that is revealed with the aim of measuring the creativity of teacher candidates in mathematical problem posing. CPPA has made it possible for the teacher candidates to measure creativity components of individual mathematical creativity (fluency, flexibility, originality) separately by establishing a new scoring scheme. With participating 305 mathematics teacher candidates, this research has revealed the relationship between CPPA performances and TTCT (Torrance Creative Thinking Test) performances of teacher candidates. The findings of the research show a statistically significant relationship between teacher candidates' scores on the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) and their scores on the CPPA.

The mathematical problem posing tasks are relevant issues in the development of higher education curriculum and improving it for developing nations require its inclusion in the curriculum as a complement to problem solving tasks. We investigate the types of problem posing abilities, related difficulties and levels of performances in “calculus-1” among first year undergraduates in Iran. The research instrument consists of text book "integral" problems reconstructed through "add or remove condition" with structured situation and "change the problem context" with semi-structured situation. Twenty-six first year undergraduates among moderate and high achievers are participated in answering the test. Furthermore, five of them are enrolled in semi-structured interview after the test. The preliminary results reveal that the percentage of "expert" students (69%) in generating problem through "add or remove condition" strategies are higher than those (18%) implementing "change the context" which is connected to high-order-thinking skills. However, the majority of participants are greatly able to perform two-third of questions correctly. The significant weakness related to the conceptual and procedural understandings in terms of the high-order-thinking skills are observed among them. We assert that the students’ problem posing performances can be fostered by incorporating problem posing activities in teaching-learning materials.

Some strategies were conducted by educators to create a conducive classroom atmosphere, and create collaborative learning so that students are accustomed to expressing their ideas, and opinions in learning, one of which is by implementing lesson study patterns for learning community. The research focus was to find out students' creative thinking skills in biological materials by using lesson study for learning community learning patterns. The respondents of the study were Grade X IPA students at SMA Negeri 1 Masbagik numbering 33 students. Data collection used a description test of biodiversity. The results of the description test were analyzed using the Scale Range Formula, the description test given referred to indicators of creative thinking ability i.e. fluency, flexibility, and originality and each answer was given a score of 3, 2 and 1. The results of the data analysis were that learning with lesson study patterns for learning community, students were able to produce creative ideas with a moderate category that is above 50%, while for the low and high categories the gain was below 50% in creative thinking indicators namely fluency, flexibility, and originality. To get used to students getting used to creative thinking, it took exercises in the creative thinking process either in the form of essay questions, or tasks that are implemented during the learning process

This study aims to investigate the similarities and differences between prospective mathematics teachers’ creative thinking skills in paper-pencil test and on a Geogebra-supported environment in terms of problem-posing. This case study used purposive sampling method for determining the participants. Findings revealed that the activities carried out in the GeoGebra-supported environment were insufficient to produce creative problems, and GeoGebra’s main utility to prospective teachers was in identifying their mistakes related to mathematical concepts and discrepancies among numerical values of the problems posed. The reasons for the low achievement in posing problem were discussed: These were; (i) lack of problem-posing experience, (ii) the structure of problem-posing activity, and (iii) prospective teachers’ mathematical content knowledge.
