Formation of Schoolchildren’s Creative Activity on the Final Stage of Solving a Mathematical Problem
The aim of the research is to study the possibilities of the final stage of working with a mathematical problem as a means of forming schoolchildren’s creative activity. The leading method of investigating this problem is to establish the correspondence between the components of the final stage of working with the mathematical problem and the procedural features of the student’s creative activity. The study resulted in defining the structure of the final stage of working with a mathematical problem, which made it possible to identify a certain set of activities that make up the ability to work with the problem on the final stage of its solution. The article establishes the relationship between actions appropriate to this stage of work with the task and signs of the student’s creative activity. It is proved that in the process of working with the problem on the final stage of its solution, students develop procedural features of creative activity. The author's method of forming students’ creative activity suggested in the article can be used by the teachers of mathematics in school practice, by the authors of methodological manuals for students and teachers, and also can be used as the basis for a special course for students of pedagogical universities.

A Psychological Evaluation Model of a Good Conversation in Knowledge Creative Activities by Multiple People
Japanese companies have been focusing on enhancing the knowledge creative activities of older office workers in recent years. In addition, the way of working in the office has been shifting from traditional divisional routine work to collaborative or creative work, and office spaces are becoming quieter, with an increasing number of extremely quiet spaces (noise level < 40 dB). A sound environment that is too quiet gives workers the impression that it is difficult to converse with others, because they are worried about what people around them may think. The appearance of the knowledge creative society in recent years has led to a desire for changes in the workplace environment to improve the productivity of intellectual activities. To realize a sound environment that encourages knowledge creative activities, study outcomes need to be accumulated. Therefore, to clarify what kind of sound environment would be appropriate for knowledge creative activities by multiple people, we conducted psychoacoustic experiments to examine the effects of sound pressure level (signal-to-noise ratio), type of sound, and reverberation time in conference rooms on the impression of a “good conversation”. In addition, we considered a causal model for the psychological evaluation of a “good conversation” by conducting a multiple regression analysis of psychological evaluations of the experimental participants. The results indicated that a sound environment considered too quiet for multiple people to have discussions about knowledge creative activities lowers the impression of a “good conversation”, whereas high levels of relaxation lead to the impression of a “good conversation”.

7799 Healthcare experiences of young people with CFS/ME in their own words
Why did you do this work?To understand the positive and negative aspects of a patient’s journey using experience mapsTo improve Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) healthcare professionals’ understanding of the effect of each of their patient interactions on that patient‘s journeyWhat did you do?Subjects were adolescent inpatients receiving management for ME/CFS under a specialist multidisciplinary team. Discussions were conducted in the form of Experience Maps,1 a collaborative feedback device where the interviewee is guided to create a timeline of their entire healthcare journey using coloured paper and pens to represent positives and negatives.What did you find?Many patients felt unheard before reaching the specialist service. This common complaint is exacerbated in this cohort by the complexity of the condition and the absence of investigations findings.Between symptom onset and diagnosis, many felt confused and afraid of worsening symptoms. Unconcerned and disbelieving doctors increased feelings of hopelessness.Diagnosis felt optimistic, although, for some the diagnosis of an often-misunderstood condition (ME/CFS) heightened their apprehension.Under the ME/CFS service participants felt understood and appreciated fewer assumptions and shared treatment plans. Attending healthcare appointments is tiring, especially for ME/CFS patients. Developmentally- and age-appropriate surroundings improved motivation to attend.While negative feedback persists, it shifts from emotional (e.g. anxious) to practical (e.g. medical environment).Patients nearing discharge were uneasy, as they felt dependent on the service.Home can be lonely for some due to ongoing disability, and for others due to past disability through formative years.Abstract 7799 Figure 1Cumulative experience map generated by combining ten 30-minute interviews[Figure omitted. See PDF]What does it mean?Understanding the patient perspective is essential to improving service. Obtaining feedback can be challenging, especially in populations who feel misunderstood. By changing feedback into a creative activity instead of form-filling, new areas of improvement are identified, and engagement was high. Making a positive diagnosis is an important step, as is providing information about the diagnosis. Feedback results can be acted on, such as focus on discharge planning to alleviate anxiety about this next step.ReferenceExperience Mapping: A Tool for Sharing Patient Experience, Dr Mando Watson, Phoebe Rutherford, Rianne Steele, Dr Arpana Soni, Connecting Care for Children, Imperial NHS Trust 2024

Psychometric Properties of the Georgian Version of the Grit Scale
The concept of grit refers to an individual’s tendency to keep perseverance and passion for long-term goals despite setbacks or obstacles. The present research examines the psychometric properties of the Georgian version of the Grit. 431 individuals participated in the study. Results from the confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) supported a two-dimensional higher-order structure of grit. The relationship with big five personality traits, creative activities, creative achievements, and psychological well-being demonstrated the construct validity of the Georgian version of the Grit Scale (G-Grit). The Georgian version of the Grit Scale seems well suited for future research purposes.
