Since every problem has a solution

INTRODUCTION

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

MEANING

CREATIVITY IS KEEPING BLOCKED MINDS OPEN.

IN LAYMANS LANGUAGE CREATIVITY IS THINKING DIFFERENTLY.

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 RE-ARRANGEMENT OR RESHAPING OF WHAT ALREADY EXISTS.

CREATIVITY TO DIFFERENT PERSONS MAY MEAN DIFFERENTTO 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 CREATIVITY 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.

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.

CREATIVITY AND AGE SOME OUTSTANDING CREATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS APPEAR AT ADVANCED AGES. SUPERIOR CREATIVITY GENERALLY RISES RAPIDLY TO ITS HIGHEST OR PEAK POINTS IN THE THIRTIES AND DECLINES SLOWLY AFTERWARDS APART FROM AGE THERE ARE NUMEROUS SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL FACTORS THAT RETARD CREATIVITY.

THE TYPICAL REACTION OF LEFT AND RIGHT BRAIN TO A SITUATION :- (A)WHAT COMES FIRST 2PM. OR 3PM. ?

(I) LEFT BRAIN ANSWER- 2PM. RIGHT BRAIN ANSWER - YES; ALSO YESTERDAYS 3PM BEFORE TODAYS 2PM.

TYPES OF CREATIVITY1. 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 COMES THROUGH GENERATION TO GENERATION.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A CREATIVE PERSONALITYOUT 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. SELF MOTIVATED. INTUITIVE

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.SUITABILITYFEASIBILITY ACCEPTABILITY

PROBLEM SOLVING TECHNIQUES : BRAIN STORMINGTHE BRAIN STORMING METHODS INVOLVES A PROBLEM SOLVING SITUATION IN WHICH FOUR GROUND RULES ARE FOLLOWEDNO JUDICIAL THINKING :CRITICISM IS RULED OUT. FREE WHEELING PERMITTED :WILDER IDEAS ARE BETTER FOR CREATIVE RESPONSES.QUANTITY OF IDEAS ARE :LARGER IDEAS HAVE MORE WANTED POSSIBILITY FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS

COMBINATION OF IDEAS : THE WAYS IN WHICH IDEAS CAN BE COMBINE TO FORM NOBLE IDEAS

BARRIERS TO CREATIVITYPERSONAL & 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.

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 IDEASContinued:

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. ROLE OF THE SCHOOL AND THE TEACHERS IN THE PROMOTION OF CREATIVITY

PROVIDING CREATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT INSPIRE THE STUDENTS TO DISAGREE CONSTRUCTIVELYINSPIRE THE STUDENTS TO EMULATE CREATIVE PERSONSPROVIDE FOR EXCITING EXPERIENCES TO THE STUDENTSPROVIDE NECESSARY GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING FOR DEVELOPING MOTIVATION AND OVERCOMING EMOTIONAL FEARS.DEVELOP STUDENTS IDEAS THROUGH CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISMPROVIDE A SAFE, PERMISSIVE AND WARM ENVIRONMENT

SHOW PUPILS THAT THEIR IDEAS HAVE VALUES.EVOKE ORIGINALITY IN THINKINGPROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SELF-INITIATED LEARNINGASK CHALLENGING AND PROVOCATIVE QUESTIONS.PRIZE RATHER THAN PUNISH INDIVIDUALLYPROVIDE ACTIVITIES LIKE DRAMA, DANCE, MUSIC, ETC.ARRANGE LECTURES OF CREATIVE PERSONALITIESENCOURAGE DEBATE, DISCUSSION, QUIZ, ETC.FOLLOW BRAIN-STORMING STRATEGIESContinued:

ROLE OF THE HOME IN THE PROMOTION OF CREATIVITYTHE 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.

ENJOY LIFE, BE CREATIVE AND TRY TO TAKE RISKS IN LIFE.. Kya pata kal ho na ho..
