This paper aims at exploring, discussing and analyzing some major issues in teaching creative thinking skills (CTS) based on IIUM experience.[1] These issues are challenges encountering trainers and lectures in teaching (CTS), strategies to overcome these challenges, and future implications proposed to enhance the process. It is well recognized worldwide that Edward de Bono is a pioneer in designing tools for teaching creative thinking skills since late sixties last century. Therefore, his tools were adopted and incorporated in the syllabus. Tools include six thinking hats, CoRT lessons, and lateral thinking. As such the discussion will be mainly related to those tools. Descriptive, analytical and critical approaches will be used, based on the author’s experience in classroom teaching and training CTS settings that were conducted at IIUM for the last ten years. To put this experience in an academic setting, the views of those who wrote on the subject will be sought. Hopefully this study will lead to enhance the performance of the lectures who teach the subject at IIUM; it will also help both internal and external auditors to improve teaching the subject, and other experts in Muslim world will be able to give feedback on the experience. [1]Teaching CTS started at IIUM in semester II, 1996/1997.

The Subject

The Torrance Incubation Model (TIM) provides a simple and highly effective mechanism for integrating creativity into the teaching of any subject. The model provides guidelines for educators who wish to develop their students' creative skills, but struggle to find the space in the curriculum in which to teach creativity as a subject. The TIM allows creativity to be woven into lesson plans by deliberately incorporating one, or more, of the core creativity skills identified by Torrance. This chapter explains the TIM, and provides examples of how it was used to redesign lessons in a higher education class, in order to teach both the subject, and at the same time develop the students' creative capabilities.

Indirect Perception

The article discusses the factors that improve people’s intellectual abilities. To do this, it provides information about the physiology of the human brain and the mechanism by which the information it perceives is stored in memory. To develop students' 'creative thinking' skills, it is necessary to develop their 'imagination' skills. The imagination perceives information from the mind. “Indirect perception” is important for imagining physical processes. Data visualization is important for understanding processes. To do this, use the "Mind Map", which is an effective way to perform such a task. The article describes the opportunities for students to develop "creative thinking" skills in the teaching of "Aggregate states of matter." For the first time, "Aggregate Cases" are being published. Not only it stores a lot of information about physical processes, but it also helps students develop “full thinking” skills by activating the cerebral hemispheres.
