I think this was the essence of Polya's methodology contained in How to Solve It - a set of questions that kids have to keep asking themselves IN THE FACE of NOVEL PROBLEMS. Those seem to me the 2 essentials. But if creativity is about fluency of ideas, shifts of perspective, and overcoming feeling stupid it seems to me there are also lots of exercises (often used by design school people - see IDEO resources on design thinking and d.school materials from Stanford). I would also recommend an old book: Problem Posing by Brown & Walter.<br /><br />Good stuff!hazbin110https://www.blogger.com/profile/15594331413402489769noreply@blogger.com
