Brainstorming is a problem-solving technique that
is not always easy for students. However, once
mastered it is a transferable skill that they will be
able to utilize in education and the world of work.
Many students feel they must come up with the
correct answer, whereas brainstorming is a way of
generating ideas to be examined later. Brainstorming
generates new ideas and creative thought.
It totally encourages the free flow of ideas that builds
on previous knowledge which enables students
thinking process. When brainstorming, you note
everything and then sort out the good from the bad. .
Brainstorming is a large or small group activity that
encourages students to focus on a topic and
contribute to the free flow of ideas.
The teacher may begin a brainstorming session by
posing a question or a problem, or by introducing a
topic.
There are several tools available to make it easier for
students to participate in a brainstorming activity.
These are great for encouraging students to come
up with a large number of ideas fairly quickly.
Pre-printed mind maps, concept maps, online
mapping tools, and software such as Video and
PowerPoint provide a great structure for students.
Place the topic or concept in the middle of the mind
map and branch off of ideas as primary or secondary
thoughts. These brainstorming activities for students
are probably the most tried and tested that you
remember yourself for effective brainstorming.
Example:
In the classroom, Learners brainstorm the topic of
smoking by writing all the words they associate with
it on the board. This is then followed by a discursive
essay-writing lesson on the topic.
Brainstorming can encourage learners to think more
freely and creatively than if they were doing a more
controlled planning exercise.It allows learners to remember what they know, and to teach each
other. It is a dynamic and stimulating way to lead
learners into a topic.
Reverse Brainstorming
A creative problem-solving technique in which the
problem is turned around and considered from a
different point of view to spur new and different
solutions.
Stop-and-Go Brainstorming
A problem-solving technique in which a group
alternately engages in brainstorming solutions without
evaluation for ten minutes then engages in a short
period of evaluation. The group continues alternating
between brainstorming and evaluation.
Phillips 66 Brainstorming
Brain-writing
A problem-solving technique in which participants
individually brainstorm ideas and document them, then
share them with a group to further push their thinking.
1) In a small or large group select a leader and a
scribe (or this may be the teacher).
2) Define the problem or idea to be brainstormed.
Make sure everyone is clear on the topic being
explored.
3) Set up the rules for the session.
They should include:
4) Start the brainstorming. Have the leader select
members of the group to share their answers.
The scribe should write down all responses,
if possible so that everyone can see them.
Make sure not to evaluate or criticize any
answers until the brainstorming is complete.
5) Once you have finished brainstorming, go
through the results and begin evaluating the
responses. This can be done quickly by a show of
hands to rank the ideas.
6) Some initial qualities to look for when examining
the responses include:
looking for any answers that are repeated or similar
7) Now that you have narrowed your list down
somewhat, discuss the remaining responses
as a group.
It is important for the teacher to:
establish a warm, supportive environment
Some of the most widely used brainstorming tools
for logging thoughts and suggestions include:
flip charts and whiteboards,
If you look closely, you’ll notice there’s one thing
these tools have in common: they all serve as
impromptu (or ready-made, in the case of software)
brainstorming templates where visual cues
encourage collaboration.
By using interactive tools like these, ideas can be
grouped and rearranged on the fly, making them
easier for everyone to see, understand, and expand
on.
To set yourself up for success, you should begin
every brainstorming project by gathering your team
together, and:
1-getting clear on the problem or objective at hand,
2-reviewing your company’s knowledge mapping
assets when they’re available, and
3-choosing the most relevant brainstorming methods
Different brainstorming tools can help you work
through ideas and problem-solving suggestions in
different ways. And since teams, challenges, and
goals vary, it’s worth trying out a variety of tools to
determine which ones work best for you.
