1. Synectics ModelSynectics Model
Synectics is interesting new approach to the
development of creativity designed by William J.J.
Gordon and his associates

2. MeaningMeaning
Synectics derived from Greek word mean “the
joining together of different and apparently
irrelevant elements”.
Integration of diverse individuals into a problem
stating and problem solving group.
Creative process is the mental activity in
problem stating and problem solving situations.

3. Four Characteristics of Gordon’s modelFour Characteristics of Gordon’s model
creativity is important
the creative process is not at all mysterious.
creative invention is similar in all fields.
individual and group invention (creative thinking
) are very similar.

4. SyntaxSyntax
Describe the topic
Create direct analogies
Describe personal analogies
Identify compressed conflicts
Create new direct analogy
Re-examine the original topic
Evaluate

5. Social SystemSocial System
It is moderately structured.
The teacher initiates the sequence and guides
the use of the operational mechanisms.
He also helps the students intellectualize their
mental processes.
Freedom for open-ended discussion as the
engage in metaphorical problem solving.
Norms of co-operation ‘platy of fancy’ and
intellectual and emotional equality are essential
to establishing the setting fro creative problem
solving.

6. Principles of ReactionPrinciples of Reaction
The instructor notes the extent to which
individuals seem to be tied to regularized
patterns of thinking.
He or she tries to induce psychological
states to generate creative response.
Where the problem is difficult to solve
the teacher accepts far fetched analogies
so that they develop fresh perspectives
on problems.

7. Support SystemSupport System
The group needs most of all facilitation by
a leader competent.
In case of scientific problems a laboratory
in which it can build models and other
devices to make problems concerns and
to permit practical invention to take
place.

8. MeritsMerits
develops creativity
develops problem solving ability
ensures co-operation
concern for fellow being

9. LimitationsLimitations
expensive in case of scientific problem
as it requires laboratory.
Competent teacher to guide
conducive environment

10. Advance Organizer Model of Advance Organizer Model of
TeachingTeaching
It is a cognitive strategy proposed by
Ausubel.
Allows learner to recall and transfer prior
knowledge to the new information being
presented.
This theory is based on the idea that
learning is facilitated, if the learner can
find meaning in the new information.

11. Contd….
When connection made between the new
information and previous knowledge, the
new information will be learned.
It provides a bridge that links the known to
the unknown.
It encourage transfer and application of old
knowledge, to make the new knowledge
more meaningful to the learner.

12. SyntaxSyntax
It consists of three phases:
Presentation of Advance Organizer
Presentation of Learning Task or Material
Strengthening Cognitive Organization

13. Social SystemSocial System
Teacher retains control of the intellectual
structure.
help students differentiate new material
from previously learnt material.
the learning situation is ideally much
more interactive, with students initiating
many questions and comments.

14. Principles of ReactionPrinciples of Reaction
The teacher’s solicited or unsolicited
responses to the learner’s reactions are
to be guided for the purpose of clarifying
the meaning of the new learning material,
differentiating it from and reconciling it
with existing knowledge, making it
personally relevant to the student, and
helping to promote a critical approach to
knowledge.

15. Support SystemSupport System
Well organized material is the critical
support requirement of this model.
The effectiveness of the advance
organizer depends on an integral and
appropriate relationship between the
conceptual organizer and the content.

16. MeritsMerits
meaningful assimilation of information
and ideas.
it nurtures an interest in a inquiry and
precise habits of thinking.
has wide applicability to different
curriculum areas.

17. DemeritsDemerits
time consuming
competent teacher
all concepts cannot be taught in this
manner
