    Thinking
    • The process of using one’s mind to
    consider or reason about
    something.
    • Using thought or rational
    judgment; intelligent.

    Convergent and
    Divergent
    Thinking
    Convergent Thinking
    This thinking pattern relies heavily on facts and is rational and is
    also known as critical, analytical, vertical or linear thinking it is a
    mode that makes use of the potent combination of facts and logic.
    However, this style makes use of a single solution alone and
    others cannot measure up to it is considered as absolute and
    superior. The origin of this solution is from previous knowledge
    and is bound to rational thinking

    Convergent thinking relies on facts and rationality. It is also


    known as critical analytical vertical, and linear thinking.
    Divergent Thinking
    This is also called as horizontal thinking. This thinking pattern
    relies on imagination. It is exhibited when you like to ask
    questions and suggest different solutions. Thinking out-of-the-
    box is an example of divergent thinking. In this thought process,
    existing knowledge is not absolute and not always the best. It
    revises or changes solutions that have been tried before and
    accommodates or creates new ways of solving problems.

    It relies on imagination and creativity. It is also called as


    horizontal thinking

    Based on the short description about divergent and
    convergent thinking, it is safe to say that these two modes
    of thinking are also similar to the thinking styles or
    domains mentioned in the Left Brain/Right Brain
    Dominance: Theory and The Whole Brain Thinking
    Model. All of these assumptions point out to the capability
    of the brain to be both rational and creative.
    In essence, convergent and divergent thinking support
    each other. Their combination sparks not only analytical
    thinking but also innovative and artistic imagination.
    Among all the learning strategies that have been
    used before, using mind-maps is an exhibit of
    the merging of both the analytical and creative
    capabilities of a learner. The combination of
    words, images, and colors make the two brain
    hemispheres to work together. Whatever the
    right brain visualizes is translated into words by
    the left-hemisphere. This makes the two
    hemispheres equal in importance

    Improving Learning: Practical Tips
    Studying is never easy, it can take hours before a
    material is remembered and understood. To
    avoid the information overload that usually
    happens, there are some tips that can aid learning
    aside from using mind-maps.
    These techniques awaken the two brain
    hemispheres:
    1. Lessons should be studied throughout the semester.
    This means that topics must be reviewed regularly. By
    doing this, learning sessions are distributed
    resulting in their consolidation in the long-term memory.
    Studying them a night
    Before the examination can cause information overload.
    2. New information can be linked to the previous body
    of information through rehearsal in terms of learning,
    new information can also be related to other subjects so
    recalling them can be easier

    3. Mnemonic devices can also be used to make


    memorizing easier. Mnemonic devices are
    techniques that help you in memorizing factual
    knowledge.
    Thanks!
