Features: Divergent thinking, also known as divergent thinking, is a multi-directional way of thinking. Figuratively speaking, it starts from a single point of knowledge and sends out a ray into the knowledge network space, forming connections with two or more points of knowledge. It achieves the effect of "one input leading to multiple outputs," demonstrating strong multi-directionality, flexibility, and creativity. When applied to learning, divergent thinking can bridge the gap between known and unknown, creating new ideas and problem-solving methods. It enhances understanding, transforms knowledge into intelligence, and truly achieves the ability to generalize and apply knowledge effectively.
The distinguishing feature of this book compared to other similar books is its full utilization of the supplementary book's function of "supporting the foundation and elevating the peak." The necessity of supplementary books lies in their ability to "support the foundation and elevate the peak." The "foundation" refers to the core knowledge of each subject, or the basic key points of each knowledge unit. These key points are the foundation for students' understanding and application of knowledge, their. The "peak" refers to the extension, enhancement, and refinement of basic knowledge. Supplementary books should be based on the textbook but also surpass it. If "supporting the foundation" is the basic function of supplementary books, then "elevating the peak" is their soul, the source of their vitality. Based on this understanding of supplementary books, this book reflects its targeting and innovation from four aspects: high standards, new perspectives, broad vision, and extensive thinking.
Introducing divergent thinking into the entire process of learning and practice, with the main structure of "divergent thinking guidance and practice," is another feature of this book. In practical application, it is divided into two parts:
- Divergent Thinking Analysis: Starting from key points, key concepts, and difficult points, it analyzes the content and relationships within the knowledge unit, revealing thinking patterns and highlighting problem-solving techniques to achieve comprehensive understanding.
- Divergent Thinking Application: Selecting typical examples, it trains students in multi-angle, multi-aspect, and multi-level divergent thinking for key problems, cultivating their ability in conceptual analysis, comprehensive summarization, transformation, thinking transfer, reverse application, experimental design, writing expression, and multi-solution/multi-variation skills.
"Stripping away the superficial and focusing on the essential" is the third significant feature of this book. In the education of the new century, the arrangement of course content requires "focusing on quality." Classroom teaching should be "concise and precise," and supplementary books should also "strip away the superficial and focus on the essential" to help students learn better while reducing their workload. This is also the goal of this book. Therefore, it includes a "Chapter (Unit) Summary" section to help students organize knowledge structures, inspire problem-solving ideas, point out methods and techniques, provide new information, and improve their exam-taking skills.
This book opens up an extraordinary learning world for you. May you draw nourishment from this wonderful world and successfully knock on the door of a prestigious university in the future.
Divergent thinking, also known as divergent thinking, starts from a single point and reaches the thinking goal through multiple directions. Illustrated, it is like a ray emitted from a point toward the knowledge network space, forming connections with two or more points of knowledge. It includes horizontal thinking, reverse thinking, and multi-directional thinking. Divergent thinking has the characteristics of multi-directionality, flexibility, fluency, and uniqueness, emphasizing multiple approaches and solutions when thinking about problems and multiple methods when solving them. For the same problem, it expands horizontally, delves deeply in reverse, and employs exploration, transformation, variation, transfer, construction, deformation, combination, and decomposition to open students' minds, stimulate their potential, and enhance their abilities, which is crucial for cultivating creative talents.
This series of books strives to align closely with the entire teaching process, focusing on cultivating students' creative thinking abilities and enhancing their flexibility and expansiveness in thinking to improve their problem-solving skills. To this end, we closely connect with students' learning realities and comprehensively reflect the questions from recent years' national college entrance exams and provincial/municipal middle school entrance exams. Aligned with the teaching syllabus and current textbooks, it covers grades 7 to 11, synchronized with each chapter and unit. The basic goal is to enable students to use goal management methods, grasp learning priorities and directions, and achieve targeted learning, ensuring that each chapter (or unit) meets the expected learning objectives and outcomes.
Basic Knowledge Guidance provides a concise overview of the intrinsic knowledge system of each chapter (or unit) and offers insightful analysis of key points for middle school and college entrance exams.
Key and Difficult Points Guidance highlights the key and difficult points as the main thread for developing divergent thinking.
Divergent Thinking Guidance and Practice is the core structure of this series, divided into the following two parts:
- Divergent Thinking Analysis: Starting from key points, key concepts, and difficult points, it analyzes the content and relationships within the chapter (or unit), revealing thinking patterns and highlighting problem-solving techniques to achieve comprehensive understanding.
- Divergent Thinking Application: Selecting typical examples, it trains students in multi-angle, multi-aspect, and multi-level divergent thinking for key problems, cultivating their ability in conceptual analysis, comprehensive summarization, transformation, thinking transfer, reverse application, experimental design, writing expression, and multi-solution/multi-variation skills.
Consolidation and Ability Improvement Exercises help students assess their classroom learning outcomes, while parents can use them to evaluate students' mastery of knowledge in each chapter of the textbook.
The following types of divergent thinking are used in this book:
- Type Divergence: Transforming typical problems into different question types.
- Solution Divergence: Training through multiple methods for a single problem or a single method for multiple problems.
- Horizontal Divergence: Forming divergent thinking through connections between two or more divergent points or between divergent points and other knowledge points, using examples to illustrate.
- Transformation Divergence: Solving new situational problems by transferring information or methods while preserving the essence of the original proposition.
- Combination Divergence: Combining multiple divergent points to form a new type of divergent thinking.
- Transfer Divergence: Using information or method transfer to solve new situational problems.
- Decomposition Divergence: Breaking down a complex proposition into simpler ones and analyzing and solving them individually.
- Reverse Divergence: Thinking from the goal to the conditions.
- Creative Divergence: Overcoming cognitive biases and solving problems unconventionally.
- Comprehensive Divergence: Integrating connections between divergent points across different chapters of the textbook or between different subjects.
In summary, this series of books progresses from simple to complex, with in-depth analysis and extensive practice, bringing students' review and exam preparation closer to reality, thereby enhancing their ability to flexibly apply knowledge, improve transfer and adaptability skills, and develop creative thinking.
