APPLICATION
1. Choose a topic from your field of specialization. Think of an activity to introduce the topic which
will provide an opportunity for your learners to practice creative thinking and problem solving
skills.
 Formulate questions under the four aspects of creating thinking--- fluency, flexibility,
elaboration and originality.
 Do creative problem solving by applying Van Gundy’s `6x2 stages’ form of Brandsford’s
IDEAL model.

ASSESSMENT TASK/S

1. Explain in your own words Torrance’s 4 criteria of creativity.


2. Practice creative thinking. Do the following.
a. In two minutes, think of as many uses as possible for a spoon.
The test measures divergent thinking across four sub-categories:
 Fluency- how many uses you can come up with
 Originality- how uncommon those uses are {e.g. for a paper clip”router
starter” is more uncommon than “ holding papers together”
 Flexibility- how many areas your answers cover (e.g. for a paper clip
cufflinks and earrngs are both accessores , aka one area)
 Elaboration- level of the detal n responses;(for a clp, “keeping headphones
from getting tangled up” would e worth more than “bookmark”)
B. Incomplete figures
