Mathematics and Life 51 4 types of creativity

4 types of creativity

Background- With the advent of technology entering all spheres of human endeavour, Artificial Intelligence challenging the human intelligence, advanced versions of creativity like computational thinking, design thinking, quantum thinking are the tools relevant to keep pace.

The mandatory inclusion of problem solving skills like coding, critical thinking, collaborative learning right from the middle school stage has necessitated that all understand the basics of creativity.

Traditionally, the 4 types of creativity are 

  1. Person

  2. Product

  3. Process

  4. Press 

Creative person The characteristics of a creative child have been discussed at length in my recent blogpost linked below

https://beyondabacus.blogspot.com/2021/03/mathematics-and-life-49-10-signs-of.html  

We need to make an overall open, free, process based efforts to identify and retain the creative person.

Creative Product A product having unique features, using innovative ways of processing, solving a persistent problem through considerable reduction in process time, cost, man hours to produce it can be termed as a creative product.

Good governance policies, schemes, may also be called creative products, besides the regular meaning of the word product like 5 G handset, satellite phone, driverless cars, attending robots etc.

Creative process The long formal training a Bharat Natyam or a ballet dancer, creative artiste, spiritual leaders, undergo is a process of developing a creative perspective. Anyone accepted to be put in the process, ends being somewhere there that matters.

May not exactly be creative but all of IITs, IIMs, IMA, IIIT, AIIMS, IAS, IPS and the likes are reputed for the rigorous selection process and working processes they have. 

Creative Press It means to have a creative environment. An environment where there is no visible sign of a threat on expressing, there is no visible discrimination on age, sex, nationality, cast, religion, sexual orientation. Where there is a rule of written and or unwritten law and is the same for all. 

It could be two families in the same clan, two neighbours, two governments within the same country or even two countries sharing history, borders. The difference in environment, the love for rule of law, processes, is proportional to the visible difference in the progress on all parameters. 

With a Ph. D. Education (1997) in the creativity research area, I will be happy to help develop systems for fostering creativity.

Mathematics and Life 23 Improving school mathematics 8

  Improving school mathematics 8 The role of parents 2 Mathematics is the science of recognising, understanding, appreciating, creating and using patterns in day to day life, business, sciences, work life, technology. In the last post we saw how parental influence becomes counterproductive and even limits a child's ability to perform. Now we will see what parents can do to boost a child's morale. Besides not doing unequal comparisons, expecting too much from the child, making public insults, the positive things parents can do are Give quality time to the child Encourage developing a study routine,, schedule in general Informally explain where education can take the child Accompany the child of school meetings  Besides these broad tips, using lot of love and common sense, parents can help the kid enjoy her studying maths. I also saw these videos which I guess will be very useful  9 tips to improve concentration https://youtu.be/LFIiW5BQP00 5 step formula  https://yout...

Mathematics and Life 95 Multiple Intelligences and mathematics education

  Multiple Intelligences and mathematics education Background Intelligence has been the factor on which the human race takes the highest pride and feels that it has Intelligence of the highest level. It is so because only human beings have all the five senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch fully developed. Moreover, only human being have the unique ability to express ideas, feelings in their own written or spoken words. In the beginning of the 20th century a lot of research was done on human intelligence. Their types, levels, measurements, enhancement. In the early 1980s, Dr. Howard Gardener gave his theory of multiple Intelligences.  Quoting successful cases of great musicians, players, business tycoons, religious leaders who never went school, he proposed that just relying on academic Intelligence is not the way to define Intelligence and gave eight traits of distinctly different types of intelligences. They are Linguistic Intelligence - what we measure in formal e...

Mathematics and Life 45 Experiential Learning

The role of experience In the behaviour school of psychology, who treat, observe, measure only the behavioural aspects, modification in behaviour is considered learning. For example, if you are training your dog to get the ball back, it does it, it has learnt what it means to get the ball back. Closer to us, if the teacher has just taught the concept of odd and even and now asks her 10 students to arrange themselves in odd number of rows and they make five rows with two students in each,they can be seen to have learnt the concept of odd and even. With more practice, it can be further consolidated. The mega companies like Jio, Amazon, Google, Facebook and others too have what is called experiential marketing as their backbone. Using, AI and applying big data, machine learning, techniques they study you and provide experiences you have been preferring to choose.  In this video, the high energy, very motivated friend of mine Dr. Sapna Agrawal takes us to the journey of providing exper...
