CREATIVE/ Design THINKING &
PROBLEM SOLVING
Another week in Kuching, I’m grateful to be given opportunity to conduct another 2 workshops with a group of ‘think tank’ teachers and a group of teachers from other MRSM in Borneo. If I felt the students enjoy the sessions as it is something new to for them to learn, I guess the teachers went through it as a reflection. We realize our thinking habits and pattern through simple activities.
We realized as adults we tend to judge more often even realizing that we’re passing judgement. Is it because of critical thinking habit as a participant point out? But I guess it comes at the right time. We realized that as adult, we want to jump quickly for solution. In fact, we often have pre–determined solution in our head when we see a problem/ a challenge. And it somehow makes us frame a narrower question? Maybe to lead to the answer that we think of. Another thing that I found interesting from the last workshop is sometimes the thing that we say and things that we do are so different. It was many stories about passion in teaching and engaging with students that we heard. But suggested solutions were mainly about rewards. I wonder maybe because the process did not remove the biasness? And as an adult, sharing about creativity and design thinking to various groups, I felt the creativity skills that we discussed – questioning, observing, association, networking, experiment are really something that we never heard before. Design thinking is also not a brand new idea but it’s just a reinvention that people put it together and called ‘design thinking’. But these concepts and framework reminds us all of having and maintaining the right mindset.
