Re:Module 6 DQ 1

Name a few factors that are commonly believed to be necessary for creative thinking to occur. Which do you perceive of as relatively more important and which do you believe are not necessary? Why?

 

Creative thinking occurs when original ideas emerge from exhaustive thinking. In the process of creation, thinking is the foundation that both critical and creative thought have opportunity for advancements. Creative thinking characteristics are compositions of curiosity, elaboration, brainstorming, originality, metaphorical and image thinking. These constructs of thinkers lead to new concepts worthy of further consideration which may become a solution to a problem or a developing business such as a theme park. For example, Facebook represents communications in a unique setting such that changes in way society interact socially and professionally thrive by Internet capabilities.

I believe curious nature is important and necessary for discovery, innovation and problem solving established by brainstorming, and elaboration (O'Connor, Nemeth, Akutus, 2103). I don't believe that any characteristic is unnecessary, rather that specific and thought intensity is the probe that heats the sources of mental stimulants for greater insight which lead to answers from what is questionable

The need to know and pondering thoughts provide a basis for knowledge in an approach to learning that shows progressive change and shaping/reshaping existing and eventually applying new levela of functioning among society in social, personal and professional relationships.

 

Recent studies pertaining to the belief of creativity presented findings that demonstrates the influence of malleability beliefs on creativity. Additional results report that beliefs in creativity related to fewer creative experiences and less creative problem-solving and creative problem solving is rooted in incremental beliefs about creativity leads to emerging original ideas (O'Connor, Nemeth, & Akutsu, 2013).
