“Menghadapai Critical Life Skill”

A.    Problem solving and dicision making

·       Analogy : adapting the solution to a previous problem which has similar features or mechanisms

·       Brainstorming : (especially among groups of people) suggesting a large number of solutions or  ideas and combining and developing them until an optimum solution is found

·       Divide and conquer : breaking down a large complex problem into smaller solvable problems

·       Hypothesis testing : assuming a possible explanation to the problem and trying to prove (or, in some contexts, disprove) the assumption

·       Lateral thinking : approaching solutions indirectly and creatively

Proof of impossibility : try to prove that the problem cannot be solved. The point  where the proof fails will be the starting point for solving it

·       Root cause analysis : identifying the cause of a problem

Lateral Thinking

What  & when :

1.     Tidak ada best practice, belum bisa solusinya atau terlalu complex

2.     Tidak melulu linear thinking, kita bisa memanfaatkan problem

How :

1.     Jika kita tidak bisa menghilangkannya, kita gunakan saja

2.     Hal kreatif apa yang bisa kita lakukan terhadap problem itu

B.    Creative thinking and critical thinking
