Imagination is acknowledged as a main component of creative thinking. In this book, the author generalises and classifies the well-known methods from the «Developing Creative Thinking» course on the Innovator’s Tasks Solution Theory (ITST), and suggests new methods of activation and development of imagination. A special feature of the exercises suggested in the book consists, besides their systematic organisation, in the presence of algorithms that promote their doing; the algorithms form habits of manageable imagination and considerably widen the quantity of possible versions of the solution.
The book is intended for specialists in the methodology of teaching, teachers of the primary and secondary school, practical psychologists, students of pedagogical institutions. It can also be useful for many readers interested in issues of developing imagination.
