Creativity in problem solving for non-STEM majors in calculus courses
Page: 1129
In this poster we share a qualitative study aimed at investigating creativity in problem solving for non-mathematics tracked students enrolled in a calculus course. Three task-based semi-structured interviews with volunteered participants were analyzed using a modified whole-to-part inductive approach (Erickson, 2006). Our findings suggest that even though students may perceive creativity as a process, this understanding may not necessarily be reflected in their written work.
