Abstract
The paper presents some consideration about creative learning in technical education. Over the last century, different theories were born about human hemispheres behaviour and the source of creativity. As the answer is not simple and complex cognitive function are required in engineering, may be is the best to associate creativity with other important concepts as originality, fast shift between rational and visual approaches, learning system development.
Highlights
In 1998 a world organization named “Campaign for Learning” leads a research on the human motivation of developing themselves, stretching their brains and improve the learning capacity
Some methods to obtain the data base: - make a list with synonymous for the problem and the result; - write down as many aspects you find about the problem and the result; - try to make visual or colour associations between problem and result; - focus on problem details and result one; - take short brakes, drink water
The idea of the playing different roles when a creative solving problem has to be done belongs to Edward de Bono and Bill Lucas [2]; the method is called “creative hats” and associates six colourful hats to six different roles played during problem solving: - white for data, numbers and information input; - red for sensations and intuitions; - black for the moments when we think logical and negative; - yellow for the moments when we think logical and constructive; - green when we bring creative idea to move forward; - blue when we act like a leader to manage all the process successfully
Summary
In 1998 a world organization named “Campaign for Learning” leads a research on the human motivation of developing themselves, stretching their brains and improve the learning capacity. The conclusion is that both adults and young people enjoy learning new things encouraged by their current or possible future jobs rather than to their personal interests [1]. Adults prefer to learn doing practical things or self-study, young people prefer learning in groups. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution process, fragmentation increases productivity which is how left hemisphere of our brain imagines the world. This is an entirely and abstract model that has procedures (laws to do so) and defined area (boxes containing people and/or goods). A better understanding of our brain cognitive functions can help us to become more productive, efficient and creative
