“…This study is one of the cutting-edge research to investigate how students in music education can deal with creativity to influence their performance. Studies of college student’s creativity in emotive context are scarce, tend to overlook some important influential factors and outcomes ( Dumas et al, 2021 ). Second, researchers found that negative emotion can cause unpleasant or bad outcomes, thus affecting the creative ideas or thinking ( Guan et al, 2021 ).…”

Artificial intelligence (AI) era challenges the use and functions of emotion in college students and the students’ college life is often experienced as an emotional rollercoaster, negative and positive emotion can affect the emotional outcomes, but we know very little about how students can ride it most effectively to increase their creativity. We introduce frustration tolerance as a mediator and emotion regulation as a moderator to investigate the mechanism of creativity improvement under negative emotion. Drawing on a sample of 283 students from professional music colleges or music major in normal universities, we find that negative emotion are generally associated with a lower creativity, while frustration tolerance can mediate the relationship between negative emotion and creativity, but these effects depend on the emotion regulation. Cognitive reappraisal exerts a negative effect on the relationship between negative emotion and creativity, while expressive suppression has the opposite effect. Our study contributes to the literatures on student’s emotions and creativity in music education and to the emotion regulation literature.

“…It can meet the expectations of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), which is a widely accepted teaching philosophy to guide personalized recommendation in adaptive learning (Eun, 2019). ZPD is the gap between the actual development level and the potential development level, but it’s difficult to measure because of the variation of learners’ actual development levels and the difficulty in accurately locating their potential development levels (Dumas et al, 2021; Wertsch, 1984).…”

Personalized recommendation plays an important role on content selection during the adaptive learning process. It is always a challenge on how to recommend effective items to improve learning performance. The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility of applying adaptive testing technology for personalized recommendation. We proposed the adaptation of applicable adaptive testing technology as a solution based on the widely accepted teaching philosophy that providing learners with challenging content can stimulate their potential and improve their performance. Specifically, we adapted item selection algorithms to make the difficulty of recommended items above the learner’s current knowledge level on the basis of the uniform scale of learner’s ability and item difficulty in the adaptive testing area. Participants were recruited from two classes in a junior middle school, one served as the experimental group by applying the adaptive testing recommendation, and the other served as the control group by applying the random recommendation. The results showed that the experimental group students achieved significantly higher scores and demonstrated higher learning abilities than the control group students. Therefore, the adapted testing technology that is being used for personalized recommendation is effective in improving learning performance.

“…Also, regarding the prompt, we used an intentionally strongly worded explicit instruction for creative thinking in the cognitive interview here-that is in line with much past work in the area of creativity research, in which explicit instructions to think creatively are commonly administered (see Acar et al, 2020 for a review)-and we cannot say whether the actors would have displayed the same analogical thinking if they had not been prompted in the same way. In fact, given the results of past work on explicit instruction in creativity research (e.g., Dumas, Dong, & Leveling, 2021), it is likely that they would not have.…”
