On the Concept of Innovative Thinking
Some people define it as: a high-level ideological and psychological activity that reflects the essential attributes of things and the organic connection between inside and outside, and has a novel generalization model.
Others define innovative thinking as: innovative thinking refers to the thinking process of solving problems in a novel and unique way. Through this kind of thinking, we can not only reveal the essence of objective things and their internal relations, but also produce novel, unique and obvious social significance thinking results.
There is another saying: innovative thinking refers to a novel thinking process and its function that can solve a specific need (purpose).
No matter how many arguments there are, the essence of innovative thinking is the same. Innovative thinking is the core of human creativity, the highest form of thinking, and the most active, active and fruitful thinking form in human thinking activities. The progress and development of human society cannot be separated from the growth and development of knowledge, which is the result of innovative thinking. Therefore, innovative thinking can better reflect people's subjective initiative than other thinking forms mentioned above.
Innovative thinking can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. It is generally believed that in the process of raising and solving problems, all thinking activities that contribute to innovative achievements can be regarded as innovative thinking in a broad sense. In a narrow sense, innovative thinking refers to innovative thinking activities directly formed by people in innovative activities, such as inspiration, intuition, epiphany and other illogical thinking forms.
There are many different expressions about the meaning of innovative thinking. For example, Zhang Jialong, researcher of China Academy of Social Sciences, doctoral supervisor and secretary general of Chinese Logic Society, believes that innovative thinking is a kind of thinking that people consciously and actively combine practical and pioneering achievements. In innovative thinking, logical thinking and illogical thinking are intertwined. Logical thinking can discover new truths, which has been proved by countless scientific examples. In the process of innovative thinking, people will also use illogical thinking, and inspiration is a kind of illogical thinking. Everyone can have innovative thinking, but it needs to be developed. Huang Haosen, director of Nanjing Jinling Institute of Thinking and Rhoda Institute of Innovative Thinking, believes that creativity depends on thinking ability, imagination and observation, which together form creative thinking, that is, human intelligence.
For anyone, innovative thinking can be trained, and the only difference lies in the effectiveness achieved through training. College students can enhance their innovative thinking ability through persistent cultivation and training. Training and not training are very different. Many famous scientists have had wonderful expositions on innovative thinking. Einstein pointed out: the highest mission of physicists is to get those universal basic laws, which have no logical way; These laws can only be obtained through intuition based on empirical understanding. He also said: imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes the pace, and is the source of knowledge evolution. Strictly speaking, imagination is a real factor in scientific research. Planck has a similar view. He said: Every hypothesis is the product of imagination, and imagination works through intuition. Professor Gordon of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believes that since the purpose of invention is not to clarify the relationship between known things, but to discover the unknown relationship between things, it is necessary to rely on non-inferential factors to connect seemingly unrelated things.
The research on the law of innovative thinking began in the early 20th century. Previous invention and innovation activities mainly relied on spontaneous intuition and experience, and it was mysterious to think that the person who made the invention was a genius or a lucky one. /kloc-in the 0/9th century, due to the demand of industrialization and the accelerated development of science and technology, a large number of inventions and innovations appeared, and the experience of inventors gradually precipitated and exchanged. From 65438 to 0906, Patent examiners Prindl put forward the art of paper invention at the meeting of American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE), which initiated the research of innovative thinking and methods. Since then, the research work in this field has been increasing. In the 1950s, a creative education movement was formed, which was popular in Europe and America. Among them, hundreds of creative techniques are summarized. On this basis, Germany, Japan, the former Soviet Union and the United States have successively introduced different forms of system invention methods since the 1970s. In China, this research began in the 1980s. Although innovative thinking is inseparable from logical thinking, it also needs to use the thinking mode of concept, judgment and reasoning, but it does not logically deduce assumptions, concepts and theories step by step from empirical materials, but directly grasps the thinking process of things by leaps and bounds through unique thinking forms such as visualization, imagination and intuition. It is based on experience and suddenly surpasses it. It's an epiphany, it's an intuitive thinking.
A short story about innovative thinking
Percussion was born.
/kloc-in the 0/8th century, an Austrian doctor was treating a patient before he was diagnosed, and the patient died suddenly. After dissection, it was found that the chest was suppurated and accumulated pus. Can you diagnose whether there is pus in the chest cavity before dissection? How much have you accumulated? One day, in a hotel, he saw some guys moving barrels to eat. They knock on this bucket, knock on that bucket, and listen with their ears while knocking. It suddenly dawned on him that the guys judged how much wine was left in the barrel according to the sound made by tapping the barrel, so can the amount of pus in the human chest be judged by tapping? He boldly did the experiment and succeeded. Thus, a new diagnostic method-percussion was born.
