| Summary: | Creative thinking skills are one of the most appreciated tools of leading in
various domains of human life. Although most studies focus more on certain
vital sectors like innovation and industry, the creative thinking skill can be
considered an effective tool to be utilized in other social subjective fields that
concerns focus more on the wellbeing of people by helping to solve their
personal and social problems. This research aims to share a field experience of
teaching creative thinking skills for 36 vulnerable young women that reside in
Raudhatus Sakina Center. By adopting the Islamic framework and concept of
human nature, creative thinking and creativity, the trainers were able to
interact more effectively with the participants and extend the relevance of
creative thinking tools to the circle of their spiritual states, feelings, mental
mods, and their social relations. To create confidence and learning interest
among the participants, the trainers have used various mediums like stories,
Islamic calligraphy, Torrence test, and the cultural context. According to
responses of the participants to the question “did program benefit you in
building up your confidence and readiness to address the problems you are
facing in a more positive way”, the training that lasted for 12 weeks (2hr. each
week) has significantly helped them not only in learning problem-solving skills
but also to develop a positive perspective in looking to the problems and the
overall meaning of life. |
