ENGL 1010CC Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Divergent Thinking
Document Summary
In recent discussions of education, a controversial issue has been whether our education paradigm needs to be changed.

Ke(cid:374) ro(cid:271)i(cid:374)so(cid:374)"s argument that we need move in the opposite direction of standardization is supported by new research showing that the younger our age the more likely we are to think divergently. Many people would assume that it is impossible to think this way. When it comes to the topic of divergent thinking, most of us will readily agree that divergent thinking is not the typical way to think.
