Geniuses are creative thinkers. Creative thinking fundamentally differs from critical thinking. Critical thinking requires knowledge. Since knowledge is a tool, more knowledge means faster and more accurate decision-making and conclusions. However, critical thinking does not translate into creative thinking. Since creative thinking creates new knowledge (concept, to be exact), the root of the thinking process is entirely different.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Creative thinking starts with curiosity and questions. Geniuses (creative thinkers) are rare because no known methods systematically activate curiosity and questions. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n PonderEd has developed novel methods to turn on curiosity and the ability to generate questions systematically. It uses the same topics being used in critical thinking, but the thinking process is focused on sparking curiosity and questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not all curiosity and questions work for brain development. There are curiosity and questions that hinder brain development. Thus, it is important to select the right curiosity and questions for brain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The level 1 course is foundation training to prepare the brains for creative thinking. It is called the conceptualization of observation and knowledge. The basic thinking processes of conceptualization can be found in the \u2018Thought Process-Based Education Part 2\u2019 booklet (free download from eBook section). This course will guide learners to turn on curiosity and convert curiosity into questions systematically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The concept of concept is different from general meaning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Differences between concept and knowledge<\/p>\n\n\n\n Knowledge means acquired information by learning (Passive)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Concept means self-processed information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, knowing a fruit called an apple is knowledge. The concept of an apple can be obtained once the knowledge is processed with its physical characteristics, such as thick skin with a mixed colour of red and green, juicy inside, and crunch. One condition is that the physical characteristics must be obtained by observation. If the information is gained by learning from other people, it is knowledge. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Prerequisite – Understanding the human brains Geniuses are creative thinkers.
