Features: Over 1 million sets sold! Divergent thinking, also known as divergent thinking, is the process of reaching a thinking goal from one point along multiple directions. 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 includes lateral thinking, reverse thinking, and multi-directional thinking. Divergent thinking is characterized by multi-directionality, flexibility, fluency, and uniqueness. When thinking about problems, it emphasizes multiple approaches and solutions, and when solving problems, it focuses on multiple pathways and methods. For the same problem, it expands horizontally, delves deeply in reverse, and explores from different directions, angles, and levels, 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 speaking, 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 and achieving 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 thinking effect of "learning from one example to understand many" and "generalizing from one case to others."
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 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 and 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 and 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 feature. In practical application, it is divided into two parts: Divergent Thinking Analysis starts from key points, focus points, and difficult points, analyzes the content and relationships of the knowledge unit, and reveals thinking patterns and problem-solving techniques using divergent thinking methods to achieve comprehensive understanding. Divergent Thinking Application selects typical examples, using multi-directional, multi-aspect, and multi-level divergent thinking for key problems to cultivate students' abilities in concept differentiation, comprehensive summarization, transformation, thinking transfer, reverse application, experimental design, writing expression, and multiple solutions.
Stripping away the unnecessary and focusing on quality is the third distinguishing feature of this book. In the education of the new century, the arrangement of course content requires "prioritizing quality," and teachers' classroom explanations should be "concise and targeted." Supplementary books should also strip away the unnecessary and focus on quality, allowing students to 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, highlight methods and techniques, provide updated information, and improve their exam-taking skills.
This book opens up a wondrous learning world for you. May you draw nourishment from this exciting world and successfully knock on the door of a prestigious university in the future.
