Thinking is a constructive process in the sense that it helps us to form a new representation of any object or event by transforming available information. It involves a number of mental activities, such as inferring, abstracting, reasoning, imagining, judging, problem-solving, and creative thinking. Such activities take place in our minds and can be inferred from our behaviorsDivergent thinking: It includes thinking and behaving in divergent ways. It helps come up with multiple ideas that aid creativity. Further, the child can be given opportunities for original expression in many ideas, such as through written language, rhythms, music, art, etc. Thus, fluency, originality, and flexibility in producing ideas need to be encouraged in the children. Objectives of divergent thinking:Students think and learn conceptually.It de-emphasizes rote memorization,In divergent thinking, there are many possible answers so that the student covers all the possibilities related to the problem.Divergent thoughts make students creative.It develops logic and analogies in the mind of the thinkers.So that we can conclude that divergent thinking promotes all possible aspects related to the problem.Important Points Divergent thinking consist of four processes such as:Fluency: refers to how rapidly a person comes up with ideas.
