Hari ini hari pertama saya di kelas CCT. Belajar dengan dr Abdul Aziz memang mengujakan. Cara pengajarannya lain daripada yang lain. Saya pasti tak mengantuk apabila beliau menggunakan metode begitu.. Aktif, ceria dan suka bertanya.

Hari ini saya belajar tentang concept of creativity [konsep kreativiti] [ابداعة]


Secara umumnya ada tiga perkataan yang menggambarkan tentang konsep kreativiti.

1. 
   ABILITY [KEMAMPUAN]
2. 
   ATTITUDE [SIKAP]
3. 
   PROCESS [SATU PROSES]

*ABILITY

-mendatangkan sesuatu yang mungkin baru, berguna dan praktikal [come out with something what new, useful and practical]

-الله بديع السموات والأرض [Allah has created the world and the heaven]

-melakukan sesuatu yang baik, cantik dan tersusun [do simething very nice, beautiful, well organized]

-Kemampuan pemikiran yang luar biasa. [extra ordinary intellectual ability]

-Ability to invent something

-menyediakan penyelesaian kepada masalah [prepare solutions to problems]

*ATTITUDE

-persepsi dan pemikiran [in perception and mind set]

-the understanding of the person that Allah has given the potencials to become creative. The person should discover this potencials and make us eof them. To become creative we need to change our mind set and perceptions about ourselves and abilities. When Allah created us, He gives to each and everyone of us the abilities (languages, senses, fitrah, heart, aql). So that he way use them to become creative.

*PROCESS

-proses belajar, latihan dan pembinaan pengalaman. [Process of learning, training, and developing once experiences]

NOTICE

>creativity from an Islamic Perspective is a gift from Alla which we need to develop and take care of.

>Einstein says: "Creativity has to do with imagination more than knowledge" -POWER OF IMAGINATION-

>creativity does not come automatically but it is related to the context (al waqi') where you live. Thefore culture, family, society, religion and other factors palys the role in creativity. This is why the concept of creativity is studied from different perspectives [angels, sides], from psychology, sociologhy, biologhy, political and social contexts.

>The difference between creativity and innovation depend on the perspective which we use to define them. For example, one of the perspective is that innovations requires producing new products, systems, ideas, solutions, but in creativity not necessary we produce something new but it can be useful and practical. In innovation, we have to come out with new, modified products.

>To conclude, creativity needs the combination of many thing including imagination, experiences, training and knowledge.
