The last lesson I learn from Mr Razi, is about Random Word. Random word is about how you generate a new idea. This is the greatest way of generate new idea as far as I know. Believe me… The best thing about this concept, it automatically provoke reaction from our brain to start thinking. Compare to mind map or brainstorm (in context of finding solution)
There are 3 step involve in this method that I discover. It’s all according to my understanding after attending class and reading a lecture notes:
*
1) Discover
First, in finding solution, write down anything that come in your mind when thinking about this problem. Anything!!!! Write down all and as much as you can. Dont forget write down your problem.
*
2) Finding Associate
Now, try to relate each random word that written down, to your problem.
*
3) Use associate to create new idea
Start apply random word and problem to find solution
*
*
Up to this point, I’m sure readers not understand about what I’m trying to say aite?
Ok, here is an example and hopefully readers know how random word start to generate an idea:
*
*
Problems: How to train 3 students to become Creative Studies tutors in 6 months time
Random words: Monkey
*
From monkey, try to ellobrate things about monkey that we thought. Here is some idea that I already got:
- Zoo
- Banana
- Tail
*
Start to associate 1st idea to problem by describe about zoo:
No animals like to be in captivity
*
In practice:
No student like to being push in class. So, dont strict in giving an assignment.
*
*
2nd idea, is about banana:
Monkey like to be rewarded with banana
*
In practice:
Reward students with something that value in order to motivate them to achieve desire target.
*
*
3rd idea, is about tail:
Monkey dosen’t like play with its tail
In practice:
Dont stress student with a lot of assignment. Always motivate student how to score for this subject.
*
*
So, that’s all about random word..hopefully you can understand and try to see a problem in different angle. Sometimes, if you are lucky enough, you can solve it right away…:p
