lectured by Mr. Yap sau Bin

CREATIVE THINKING

◦ Convergent thinking
Convergent thinking is a process of focusing many of information and turns it into a solution.
Example, Solving many problems in a single proper way.

◦ Divergent thinking
Divergent thinking is a process which generate the best idea by exploring many ways.
Example, Use the smartest way to reach a location in a shortest time.

MINDMAP
◦ Invented by Tony Buzan in 1960s.
◦ As a method of creative thinking.

Defining mind mapping
Mind mapping is a diagram which enhance both sides of human brain, often used to generate, visualize , structure ideas. Mind mapping is to stimulate and create interest in the individual and also to audience.

Example of mindmap





There are TWO types of mind mapping, which are
◦ Logical Mind Map - Every word or image through stereotype links are directly related to the central theme
◦ Associated Mind Map - Can generate random words and the links between the words seem no connection.

STEREOTYPE
A stereotype is a commonly held public belief about specific social groups, or types of individuals. The concepts of "stereotype" and "prejudice" are often confused with many other different meanings.

Personal Reflection:
In this week lecture, I have learn and understand about convergent and divergent thinking which will be useful in the future. Mr.Yap sau Bin also play a role in helping us to understand about the difference between convergent and divergent thinking. Lecturer told us that people normally are either good in convergent or in divergent thinking. In addition, lecturer also explain about how to create a good mind mapping in creative way.
