Since every problem

has a solution

INTRODUCTION

A PROBLEM IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS

NO SOLUTION FOR IT; MORE CORRECTLY, IT IS SO
BECAUSE A SOLUTION IS NOT VISIBLE;

EVERY PROBLEM HAS A SOLUTION

EVERY HUMAN BEING, IRRESPECTIVE OF AGE,
INTELLIGENCE, COLOUR AND FAITH IS CREATIVE.
BUT HE USES AN INSIGNIFICANT PART OF HIS
CREATIVE MIND.

MEANING

IN LAYMANS LANGUAGE CREATIVITY IS

THINKING DIFFERENTLY.

CREATIVITY IS KEEPING BLOCKED

MINDS OPEN.

 CREATIVITY IS THE ABILITY OR THE

CAPACITY TO DISCOVER AND EXPLORE NEW
AREAS TO CREATE OR PRODUCE A NEW IDEA,
OR THEORY OR OBJECT INCLUDING THE REARRANGEMENT OR RESHAPING OF WHAT
ALREADY EXISTS.

CREATIVITY TO DIFFERENT PERSONS

MAY MEAN DIFFERENT
TO THE ARTIST IT IS THE ABILITY TO EVOKE EMOTIONAL MOODS.
TO THE ARCHITECT, CREATIVITY IS THE ABILITY TO EVOLVE NEW
APPROACHES, FORMS AND NEW MATERIALS.
TO THE SCIENTIST, CREATIVITY IS THE ABILITY TO EXPLORE NEW
WAYS OF EXTENDING KNOWLEDGE.
TO THE TEACHER, CREATIVITY IS THE ABILITY TO DISCOVER AND
APPLY DYNAMIC METHODS IN TEACHING PROCESS.
TO THE STUDENT, CREATIVITY IS THE ABILITY TO USE WORDS AND
PHRASES IN NEW SITUATIONS, TO SOLVE SUMS SPEEDILY, TO PREPARE
NEW TYPES OF CHARTS, TO WRITE ESSAYS AND STORIES DEPICTING NEW
IDEAS AND SO ON.

NECESSITY FOR FOSTERING CREATI

CHANGE IS THE LAW OF NATURE
CHANGES ARE GOING TO BE FASTER IN FUTURE
NO ONE HAS SURVIVED WITHOUT CHANGE
PROBLEMS ARE INCREASING DAY BY DAY THEREBY
STRESSING THE LEFT BRAIN
TO HAVE A BALANCED USE OF BOTH THE BRAINS.

DIVERGENT THINKING INVOLVES SELECTING DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO A

PROBLEM BY DELIBERATELY SHIFTING FROM ONE APPROACH TO THE OTHER.

COMPONENTS OF
CREATIVITY

CREATIVITY AND INTELLIGENCE

EVERY INTELLIGENT PERSON MAY NOT BE CREATIVE,
BUT A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THE CREATIVE PEOPLE
POSSESS INTELLIGENCE TO A HIGH DEGREE.
INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVITY GO HAND IN HAND UP
TO A CERTAIN LIMIT AND GET SEPARATED AFTER THAT
LIMIT.
IT IS WRONG TO SUPPOSE THAT INTELLIGENCE AND
CREATIVITY ARE TWO INDEPENDENT VARIABLES.
INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVITY ARE POSITIVELY
CORRELATED, THE RELATION BETWEEN THE TWO IS
NOT ENTIRELY LINEAR.

AND

(A)WHAT COMES FIRST 2PM. OR 3PM. ?
(I) LEFT BRAIN ANSWER

- 2PM.

(II) RIGHT BRAIN ANSWER

- YES;
ALSO YESTERDAYS 3PM BEFORE TODAYS

TYPES OF CREATIVITY
1. CHANCE CREATIVITY. HAPPENS BY PURE LUCK AND
CAN RARELY BE DUPLICATED.

2. SPONTANEOUS CREATIVITY. TO BRING SOMETHING

NEW WITH A FEELING OF SPONTANEITY, WHICH IS,
DESIGNED TO MEET AN IMMEDIATE PURPOSE.

3. CONCEIVABLE CREATIVITY. REFERS TO THE PROCESS

WHERE THE THINGS CREATED DO NOT NECESSARILY MEET
AN IMMEDIATE PURPOSE. THERE IS VERY LITTLE, IF ANY,
FEED BACK AVAILABLE IN THIS TYPE OF CREATIVITY. IT
COMESTHROUGHGENERATIONTOGENERATION.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A CREATIVE
PERSONALITY
OUT OF EIGHTY-FOUR CHARACTERISTICS OF
CREATIVE PERSONALITY,A FEW ARE: POSITIVE AND ENERGETIC ATTITUDE TOWARDS WORK.
ADVENTUROUS & RISK TAKER.
CURIOUS BY NATURE.
DESIRE TO EXCEL.
CONSCIENTIOUS AND TENACIOUS
FLEXIBLE IN THINKING, FEELING AND DOING.

CREATIVE CHILDREN/PERSONS ARE

CONSTANTLY PROBING, DISCOVERING,
IMAGINING, ASKING QUESTIONS,
GUESSING AND WONDERING.

THE MIND PROCESSES AROUND 500 WORDS PER

MINUTE.
THE SPEAKERS SPEAKS AT BEST AT AROUND 150
WORDS IN THAT DURATION.
THE IDLE CAPACITY OF THE MIND (OF ABOUT 350
WORDS) IS UTILISED FORMING OUR JUDGEMENT,
REINFORCING IT AND DECIDING WHAT TO SPEAK
NEXT.

STEPS TO DELIBERATE
PROBLEM SOLVING

EVALUATION OF IDEAS.
It requires sorting of facts on the basis of following criteria:
COST.
PRACTICABILITY.
TIME DIMENSION.
SUITABILITY
FEASIBILITY
ACCEPTABILITY

PROBLEM SOLVING TECHNIQUES :

BRAIN STORMING
THE BRAIN STORMING METHODS INVOLVES A PROBLEM SOLVING
SITUATION IN WHICH FOUR GROUND RULES ARE FOLLOWED
NO JUDICIAL THINKING

:CRITICISM IS RULED OUT.

FREE WHEELING PERMITTED :WILDER IDEAS ARE BETTER

FOR CREATIVE RESPONSES.
QUANTITY OF IDEAS ARE
WANTED

:LARGER IDEAS HAVE MORE

POSSIBILITY FOR SOLVING
PROBLEMS

COMBINATION OF IDEAS

: THE WAYS IN WHICH IDEAS CAN BE

COMBINE TO FORM NOBLE IDEAS

BARRIERS TO CREATIVITY
1. PERSONAL & PERCEPTUAL BLOCKS:
Through the process of socialization, people have developed certain attitudes in life which
in turn kill their creative abilities. The following are some such attitudes:INTOLERANCE FOR AMBIGUITY.
CONFORMITY TO THE PRECEDENCE SANCTIONS BY SOCIETY AND
GROUP NORMS ETC.
STEREOTYPING (OF IDEAS, EXPRESSIONS AND ACTS).
FEAR OF FAILURE.
RESOURCE MYOPIA.

STARVED SENSIBILITY (LACK OF CULTIVATION

OFDIFFERENT SENSES).
PEER GROUP PRESSURE.

Continued:
2. EMOTIONAL BARRIERS:
CREATIVITY DIMINISHES TO INSIGNIFICANCE UNDER HIGH
EMOTIONAL STRESS. AN INFERIORITY COMPLEX, RESISTANCE TO
CHANGE FROM THE STATUS QUO AND ALSO LACK OF REWARDED
STIMULUS CAN BE BARRIERS TO CREATIVITY.
3. SOCIAL AND CULTURAL BARRIER:
EMOTIONS, HABITS AND THOUGHTS ARE STRONGLY AFFECTED BY
THE CULTURAL INFLUENCES. GROUP ACTIVITIES MAY BE A
HINDRANCE TO CREATIVITY. MOST PEOPLE ARE RELUCTANT TO
ACCEPT CHANGE AND HENCE THEY ARE EITHER INDIFFERENT OR
NEGATIVE TO PROPOSED CREATIVE IDEAS

ROLE OF THE SCHOOL AND THE

TEACHERS IN THE PROMOTION OF
CREATIVITY
IDENTIFICATION OF THE CREATIVE CHILD/PERSON. WE MAY USE
BOTH TEST AND NON-TEST TECHNIQUES FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF
THE CREATIVE CHILD.
FACTORS IN THE SCHOOL THAT HINDER CREATIVITY.
CURRICULUM
TEACHER-CENTERED.
STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING CREATIVITY.ENVIRONMENT TO
ENCOURAGE INDEPENDENCE AND FREETHINKING.

PROVIDING CREATIVE LEARNING

ENVIRONMENT
INSPIRE THE STUDENTS TO DISAGREE CONSTRUCTIVELY
INSPIRE THE STUDENTS TO EMULATE CREATIVE PERSONS
PROVIDE FOR EXCITING EXPERIENCES TO THE STUDENTS
PROVIDE A SAFE, PERMISSIVE AND WARM ENVIRONMENT
DEVELOP STUDENTS IDEAS THROUGH CONSTRUCTIVE
CRITICISM
PROVIDE NECESSARY GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING FOR
DEVELOPING MOTIVATION AND OVERCOMING
EMOTIONAL FEARS.

Continued:
SHOW PUPILS THAT THEIR IDEAS HAVE VALUES.
EVOKE ORIGINALITY IN THINKING
PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SELF-INITIATED
LEARNING
ASK CHALLENGING AND PROVOCATIVE QUESTIONS.
PRIZE RATHER THAN PUNISH INDIVIDUALLY
PROVIDE ACTIVITIES LIKE DRAMA, DANCE, MUSIC, ETC.
ARRANGE LECTURES OF CREATIVE PERSONALITIES
ENCOURAGE DEBATE, DISCUSSION, QUIZ, ETC.
FOLLOW BRAIN-STORMING STRATEGIES

ROLE OF THE HOME IN THE PROMOTION

OF CREATIVITY
THE HOME ENVIRONMENT GREATLY
INFLUENCES THE CREATIVITY ASPECT.
TOO MUCH LOVE AND TOO MUCH FEAR WILL
NOT PROMOTE CREATIVITY.
BE PERMITTED TO ASK QUESTIONS FREELY.
THEY SHOULD BE PROVIDED WITH STIMULATING
LEARNING MATERIAL.
APPROPRIATE TYPE OF TOYS AND READING
MATERIAL MAY BE MADE AVAILABLE TO
CHILDREN.
