Features: The "Divergent Thinking Classroom" series has sold over 1 million sets over the years and has rightfully become a renowned brand in supplementary educational materials. To make the content and quality of this series even better and broaden its scope of application, we have revised it comprehensively based on the new curriculum, examination syllabus, and the new concepts, ideas, methods, and objectives of the new National Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards. The series is equipped with textbook standards suitable for all provinces and autonomous regions in China.
The "Divergent Thinking Classroom" textbook standards are structured with the following sections:
Curriculum Standard Positioning and Review: Fully reflects the new concepts of the curriculum standard, highly summarizes the knowledge and ability, emotional cognition objectives of this chapter (or unit), and comprehensively introduces the commonly used thinking methods and rules for learning this chapter (or unit). This enables students to achieve the expected learning objectives and outcomes through independent learning, collaborative learning, and interactive learning.
Independent Learning Tips: Provides background materials and related knowledge for learning this section (or lesson), thereby laying a necessary foundation for students to explore independently and expand divergent thinking. It also highlights the key and difficult points, serving as the main thread for divergent thinking.
Divergent Thinking Analysis: Starting from knowledge points, key points, and difficult points, it analyzes the content and interrelationships of this section (or lesson). This helps students master methods to overcome key points and resolve difficult points. It also carefully designs innovative inquiry questions to guide students through the inquiry process, stimulating interest, providing in-depth insights, and progressively applying divergent thinking methods to reveal thinking patterns and solve practical problems, thereby highlighting problem-solving skills and achieving comprehensive understanding.
Divergent Thinking Application: Selects "ability-based, open-ended, application-based, inquiry-based, reading comprehension, material analysis, and comprehensive" questions from the new middle school exams. Through typical examples, it analyzes key problems from multiple angles, sides, and levels to develop divergent thinking, cultivating students' comprehensive abilities such as conceptual differentiation, comprehensive summarization, transformation and deformation, thinking transfer, reverse application, experimental design, writing expression, and multiple solutions and variations.
Independent Achievement Practice: Establishes a self-assessment platform based on this section's knowledge, emphasizing practice while learning. In addition to improving the quality of original divergent thinking questions, it also selects a certain number of "life divergent," "interest divergent," "application divergent," "inquiry divergent," and "experimental divergent" questions, with each question corresponding to an example and revealing a pattern.
Thinking Integration and Enhancement: This section is divided into three levels:
Knowledge Network Construction: Organizes the knowledge structure, making the chapter's knowledge scientific and systematic, thereby achieving the purpose of integrating thinking and enhancing abilities.
New Question Types and New Middle School Exams: Summarizes the development direction of the new middle school exams, providing detailed information to guide thinking association and stimulate thinking activity. It gathers a large number of divergent thinking extension questions, new curriculum standard questions, and famous middle school exam questions. During the problem-solving process, it points out key points, thinking patterns, and techniques, thereby comprehensively improving students' comprehensive abilities, innovative abilities, and exam-taking abilities.
Knowledge and Ability Transformation Platform: Establishes a diverse self-assessment platform to promote the transformation of knowledge into abilities, encouraging students to improve their innovative and exam-taking abilities through independent inquiry and self-resolution.
This book adopts the following types of divergent thinking: question type divergence, solution divergence, life divergence, interest divergence, application divergence, experimental divergence, horizontal and vertical divergence, transformation divergence, combination divergence, transfer divergence, decomposition divergence, reverse divergence, inquiry divergence, and comprehensive divergence.
This series progresses from simple to complex, provides in-depth analysis and practice, combines learning and practice, and employs step-by-step training to gradually improve, revealing the exam-taking patterns of the middle and high school exams. This makes students' learning and exam-taking more aligned with reality, thereby enhancing their ability to flexibly apply knowledge and increasing their transfer and adaptive abilities as well as creative thinking abilities.
