Features: Over 1 million sets sold! Divergent thinking, also known as divergent thinking, starts from one point and extends in multiple directions to reach a thinking goal. Illustrated graphically, it is like a beam of rays emitted from a single point toward the knowledge network space, forming connections between two or more knowledge points. It encompasses lateral thinking, reverse thinking, and multi-directional thinking. Divergent thinking is characterized by multi-directionality, flexibility, fluency, and uniqueness, focusing on multiple approaches and solutions when thinking about problems, and multiple methods when solving them. It explores the same problem from different directions, angles, and levels, horizontally expanding and deeply delving into reverse thinking, employing techniques such as exploration, transformation, variation, transfer, construction, deformation, combination, and decomposition. This helps open students' minds, unleash their potential, and enhance their qualities, which is crucial for cultivating creative talents. Divergent thinking is also known as divergent thinking, a multi-directional way of thinking. Metaphorically, it is like a beam of rays emitted from a single knowledge point toward the knowledge network space, forming connections with two or more knowledge points, achieving the effect of "one input, 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, enhancing comprehension, transforming knowledge into intelligence, and truly achieving the thinking effect of "learning from one example to understand many" and "generalizing from one case to others."
The distinctive 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 existence of supplementary books is justified by their function of "supporting the foundation and elevating the peak." The "foundation" refers to the core knowledge of each subject, or the basic key points of each knowledge unit. These basic 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 all aspects of learning and practice, the book is structured around "Divergent Thinking Guidance and Practice," which is another distinctive feature. In practical application, it is divided into two parts: Divergent Thinking Analysis starts from knowledge points, key points, and difficult points, analyzing the content and relationships within the knowledge unit, and revealing thinking patterns and problem-solving techniques using divergent thinking methods to achieve comprehensive understanding. Divergent Thinking Application selects typical examples, employing multi-directional, multi-aspect, and multi-level divergent thinking for key problems to cultivate students' abilities in conceptual analysis, comprehensive summarization, transformation, thinking transfer, reverse application, experimental design, writing expression, and multi-solution flexibility.
Stripping away the trivial to focus on quality is the third distinctive feature of this book. In the education of the new century, the arrangement of course content requires "focusing on quality," and teachers' classroom explanations should be "concise and targeted." Supplementary books should also strip away the trivial to focus on quality, enabling students to learn better while reducing their workload. This is also the goal of this book. Therefore, the book includes a "Chapter (Unit) Summary" section to help students organize knowledge structures, inspire problem-solving ideas, highlight methods and techniques, provide updated 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.
