Zusammenfassung

The aim of this paper is to examine the construct of mathematical creativity in secondary education, as well as its measurement through problem posing and problem solving. The study consisted of a sample of 62 high school students aged 12-14 years, all of them gifted and talented, and was conducted during a series of enrichment workshops. The measurement instrument used was the Mathematical Creative Problem Solving Ability Test (MCPSAT), which consists of four problem-solving tasks to assess the classic dimensions of creativity (fluency, flexibility and originality). To assess originality, a creativity quotient was obtained. The results revealed that the most effective to measure mathematical creativity are Tasks 1 (‘The Sixteen Points’) and Task 4 (‘Water Prism’). In addition, the test displayed an adequate internal structure, indicating a greater correlation between intra-task dimensions than between creative dimensions or abilities.
