Problem Solving and Creativity
Edward Paul Torrance
He introduced the
Framework for Creative
Thinking which has four
aspects which can help
in the teaching –
learning process.
Framework for Creative Thinking
- Fluency – It is the production of a great number of
ideas or alternate solutions to a problem. It implies
understanding not just remembering information that is
learned
- Flexibility – it is the production of ideas that show a
variety of possibilities or realms of thoughts. It involves
ability to see from different points of view
Framework for Creative Thinking
- Elaboration – It is the process of enhancing ideas
by providing more details.
- Originality – it involves production of ideas that
are unique or unusual
Creative Problem Solving
It is an intentional process of solving problems and
discovering opportunities.
The root of CPS is the origin of Classical Brainstorming,
Osborn’s Checklist.
