8.6.6 Brain Storming Strategy

This teaching strategy is completely democratic. The assumption is that a group may consider more
than a alone student. The format of this teaching method is problem—centred. The students are given
a problem and are told to discuss that problem and try to present the idea came in their mind. It is
not necessary that all their thoughts should be meaningful. The group is encouraged and the analysis,
synthesis and evaluation of problem is done.
The basis of this teaching strategy is both the educational and psychological. Brain storming is related
to the goals of low and high levels of emotional side. This can also be used for the attainment of
the objectives of high level of cognitive side. This teaching strategy helps students to develop good
ideas. Creative tests are more useful and meaningful for the evaluation of this strategy because more
opportunities are given to develop creative skills in its teaching circumstances.
