It can be stated that scientific creativity is a fairly new research topic for early childhood. Although creativity is one of the skills that are frequently discussed in early childhood research, studies dealing with scientific creativity, a type of creativity specifically related to science, are very limited regarding this period. In this review study, scientific creativity was conceptually examined and research conducted on scientific creativity with children attending primary and secondary school were included. Whether scientific creativity is possible in early childhood was examined according to a limited number of studies examining scientific creativity in this period. Additionally, based on previous studies, suggestions were given on how to support scientific creativity in early childhood.

This chapter presents an overview of aspects that may influence women and men religious on their religious vocational decision during their childhood with their family and parish, their attendance of primary and secondary school, their participation in parish life, and their college years. The influential aspects addressed are: attending Mass regularly and devotional practices, having the opportunity to discuss and receive encouragement from others to discern a religious vocation, the witness of men and women religious, and being engaged in youth and voluntary ministry programs. The chapter concludes that while not every individual religious has opportunities to experience these activities in various environments before he or she decides to enter religious life, all the aspects complement one another and have an impact on religious vocational discernment and decision-making.
