Creative Problem Solving - Assignment Example

The idea of Higgin’s in using creativity in solving problems is actually applicable in real life even in our life as a student. I can cite for specific the typical problem that most students suffer – cramming or reviewing right before the exam day. I have to admit that studying can sometimes to be a bore that we often procrastinate it until the exam and I admit this is a problem. The creative solution on how to defeat cramming is to review lessons constantly even just for a few minutes.

But reviewing itself can sometimes be boring or taxing so the creative solution to this consistent to Higgins approach is to make it fun to defeat boredom. How can we make studying fun? The Creative Problem Solving (CPS) here is to make studying fun so that we are engaged in it early and thus avoid the problem. The convergent thinking or the single correct solution here in the problem is to review long before the exam. The divergent thinking is a creative approach to the solution which is to make it fun by doing group studies where we could also hang out while reviewing.
