What is Deliberate Divergent Thinking

Chapter 12
Interface Support for Creativity, Productivity, and Expression in Computer Graphics
It generally refers to the deliberating process in creative thinking. In deliberate divergent thinking ideas are generated in an emergent cognitive fashion guarded by a reflective process. Many possible solutions are explored in a short amount of time, and unexpected connections are drawn. After the process of divergent thinking has been completed, the convergent thinking process is often used to organize and structure the ideas and information.

Abstract
How to design computer interface that facilitates learners' creative thinking can be challenging. This chapter discusses the cognitive processes, the types of divergent thinking, visualization, and brain-functions in relation to human learning. Informed by the research in previous areas, the authors examine the features of computer interface that aligns with brain-functions to support various types of creative thinking. An example is included to demonstrate, at the conceptual level, how computer interface can be leveraged to support learners' creativity, imagination, originality, and expressiveness in learning. Discussions are made with respect to the implication and limitation of the chapter. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research and studies.
