Acceptable Reliability

This article describes the development of an instrument for examining schools as institutions where teaching practices and school structures provide opportunities and support for student imagination, creativity, and innovation, as well as initial comparisons using the instrument, using a sample of n = 5020 students and n = 268 teachers ( n = 161 classes of students nested within teachers). The three five-item subscales show acceptable reliability across groups (.73–.90). Paired sample t tests indicate that, on average, students reported significantly more opportunities for creativity as compared to imagination or innovation. There were also significant differences between actual student reports and teachers’ predictions only for creativity and innovation. Students reported more opportunities for creativity and innovation than their teachers predicted. However, students reported significantly less opportunity for imagination, creativity, and innovation than their teachers’ ideals. Implications for subsequent research and practice are also discussed.

Creativity And Innovation

For the past two decades, creativity and innovation have been viewed by researchers as critical to organizational success and survival. Understanding the factors that facilitate or inhibit creativity and innovation at the individual level has been the focus of much of the research in the area. In recent years, research in organizational psychology and management has focused on understanding creativity and innovation in teams. However, while earlier work on teams and creativity focused on the team as a context variable, and individual creativity as the outcome, more recent research emphasizes creativity as the outcome. This chapter provides an overview of the state of research and practice as it relates to team creativity and innovation in organizations.

Creativity And Innovation

Purpose – This article aims to highlight the importance of creativity and innovation in Chinese HRM research and practice. The authors first seek to bring some conceptual clarity to the term “innovation”, especially in relation to the notion of creativity. The authors then discuss Chinese HRM research and policies and practices associated with innovation. The authors conclude the article by introducing the forum articles that constitute this issue of the journal. Design/methodology/approach – Literature review and analysis. Findings – The authors discuss the conceptual difference and similarity between innovation and creativity. The literature analysis shows that Chinese HRM research is in a transitioning stage from local private novelty to global novelty, and innovation at individual and organizational level is determined by a sound national innovation system (NIS) that either fosters or hinders the overall ability of innovation in a sub-system. Originality/value – The article differentiates creativity and innovation conceptually and specifies the critical role of NIS in fostering innovation ability at individual and organizational levels.

Classical Arabic

Teacher creativity and innovation are extremely needed in teaching Arabic material which is difficult for millennial learners to be understood, especially the competence in reading classical Arabic texts and tending to be stuck up in the understanding of qawaid. Therefore, this study aims to determine the process of using the PQ4R method and measure its level of effectiveness in improving students' reading skills in Arabic subject of class XI MAN 1 Kota Kediri. The method applied in this research is quantitative approach with experimental research model. The researcher used documentation, tests, and interview to collect the data in MAN 1 Kota Kediri in class XI. The data analysis used t-test with paired sample t-test. The result shows that PQ4R method is effective in improving reading skills, with the calculation result of pre-test score in the experimental class 66.08 and the control class 65.08 with a difference of 1.00. The results of post-test of experimental class 86.52 and 63.04 control class with a difference of 23.48, so the experimental class using the PQ4R method is higher than the control class. The data analysis used is t-test with the calculation of sig (2-tiled), with the result of sig (2-tiled) = 0.00, because the result of sig (2-tiled) 0.00> 0.05. So it can be concluded that the PQ4R method provides an easier way to comprehend Arabic reading texts.

This chapter summarizes and reflects on the evolving scholarship on processes of organizational change and innovation that has emerged since the first edition of The Handbook of Organizational Change and Innovation in 2004. This includes human agency, time conceptions, causality, and levels of analysis. In addition, we add voices not heard in the first edition about affect and emotion, power and influence, paradox and conflict, political perspectives and endings of organization change, creativity and innovation. These core topics provide an overview of the handbook chapters and future directions for research and practice.

Using Data

This chapter proposes that Engeström's activity triangles in tandem with direct attention to the 4Cs—collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity—can help teachers and researchers identify effective teaching practices in online environments. The authors illustrate this technique using data from two studies on teachers' technology use in brick-and-mortar classrooms. Focusing on literacy and music in the elementary classroom, the authors suggest ways teachers can reflect upon and design their online activities considering students' use of the 4Cs. They demonstrate the process using an exemplar online activity. Apart from individual pedagogical concerns, the chapter also discusses more significant issues around policy, access, professional development, and the 4Cs and offers implications to research and practice.

Core Construct

Opportunities are a core construct in the field of entrepreneurship. Despite recent advances suggesting the separation of ideas from opportunities, the field still suffers from conceptual deficiencies. This article builds on this distinction and leverages insights from creativity and innovation management literature to propose a framework that allows tracing the evolution of a venture from first insight to exploitation. It discusses real–time/longitudinal and retrospective measurement techniques from the fields of entrepreneurship, creativity, and innovation management to empirically capture the framework. Several research questions for future studies are provided, concluding with a discussion of implications for research and practice.
