Some approaches involved in creative thinking skills 
Creative thinking skills involve such approaches as: 
-
Engaging in reflection. (See unit, ‘
Reflective learning/keeping a reflective learning 
journal
’). 
-
Looking for many possible answers rather than one.
-
Allowing yourself to make wild and crazy suggestions as well as those that seem sensible.
-
Not judging ideas early in the process - treat all ideas as if they may contain the seeds of 
something potentially useful.
-
Allowing yourself to doodle, daydream or play with a theory or suggestion.
-
Being aware that these approaches necessarily involve making lots of suggestions that are 
unworkable and may sound silly.
-
Making mistakes.
-
Learning from what has not worked as well as what did.
Think about the following quotation from Edward de Bono – author of ‘Six 
Thinking Hats’ (1985). 
“The need to be right all the time is the biggest bar to new ideas. It is better to 
have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong than to be always right by 
having no ideas”
Note: For more on de Bono’s ‘Six thinking hats’, see unit, ‘
Solving problems and making decisions
.’

Some creative thinking strategies
There is no limit to ways there are of thinking creatively. Some techniques you can begin with are 
listed hereunder.

Brainstorm ideas on one topic onto a large piece of paper: don't edit these. Just write them 
down as soon as they come into your head. 

Allow yourself to play with an idea while you go for a walk or engage in other activities 

Draw or paint a theory on paper.

Ask the same question at least twenty times and give a different answer each time.

Combine some of the features of two different objects or ideas to see if you can create 
several more.

Change your routine. Do things a different way. Walk a different route to college.

Let your mind be influenced by new stimuli such as music you do not usually listen to.

Be open to ideas when they are still new: look for ways of making things work and 
pushing the idea to its limits.

Cultivate creative serendipity.

Ask questions such as 'what if….?' Or 'supposing….?'.

Keep an ideas book. Inspiration can strike at any time! Ideas can also slip away very 
easily. If you keep a small notebook to hand you can jot down your ideas straight away 
and return to them later. Alternatively, you could use the voice recorder on your mobile 
phone, or send yourself a text message! For example, you may think of a really good idea 
for an assignment/project while you are listening to a lecture. You should record it as soon 
as you can after the lecture: otherwise, you could forget it entirely.
