美国心理学家吉尔福认为,发散思维是指“从给定的信息中产生信息,其着重点是从同一的来源中产生各种各样的为数众多的输出”长期以来,小学数学教学中以集中思维为主要的思维方式,这对于基础知识、基本技能的掌握是必要的但对于小学生学习数学兴趣的激发、智力能力的发展,特别是创造性思维的发展,显然是不够的。而发散思维却正好反映了创造性思维“尽快联想,尽多作出假设和提出多种解决问题方案”的特点,因而成为创造性思维的一种主要形式。在当今 According to Guelfi, American psychologist, divergent thinking means that “information generated from a given message focuses on producing a myriad of outputs from the same source.” For a long time, elementary mathematics teaching In order to focus on thinking as the main way of thinking, which is essential for the mastery of basic knowledge, basic skills but for primary school students to stimulate interest in learning mathematics, intellectual development, especially the development of creative thinking, is clearly not enough. Divergent thinking reflects exactly the characteristics of creative thinking, “making associations as soon as possible, making assumptions as much as possible, and proposing solutions to many problems”, thus becoming a major form of creative thinking.
