Being creative

Being creative in modern times has become an obligation. A country will certainly face many problems if the country is less empowering its human resources to be creative.

To be creative is wide meaning. Creative in the work, creative in thinking and even creative in solving problems.

In learning science , teachers and students should
yes need to know the background of scientists and how they can create the concept of science or a formula.

In reality that generally teachers and students also recognize the concepts and formulas and learning process often patterned discussing the formula and the problems alone.

It is appropriate that teachers and students also recognize the creative processes of scientists (such as Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and others) in discovering a phenomenon through reading their biography.

Albert Einstein

How to speak in childhood is not so interesting. The ability to speak or speak very slowly. Seeing the condition that his parents are so concerned that he consulted the doctor.

Due to his slow speech abilities made him never fail at school and the principal advised him to quit school. Of course he rebelled against the school that cast him out and considered him a very stupid child.

In childhood, Einstein was a good boy and he had a helpful character, this character makes him more intelligent. Linguistic ability is lower than numerical or mathematical ability.

He never failed in mathematics. Before he was fifteen he had mastered the differential and integral calculus he had learned self-taught.

While in elementary school, he is above average grade ability, yet he has a penchant for solving complicated problems in applied arithmetic.

His parents supported Einstein's interest in mathematics. He buys textbooks so he can master the numerical lessons during the summer holidays.

Thomas Alfa Edison

He learned how to find lights. Before the first light went on he performed 5,000 experiments that always ended in failure. But the way of thinking owned by Thomas Alfa Edison is very positive and resilient, this leads to high-level creativity.

Isaac Newton

Born in Woolsthorpe-Lincolnshire, England. He is a physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian who came from England.

His father, also named Isaac Newton, died three months before Newton's birth. Newton was born prematurely. When Newton was three years old, his mother remarried and left Newton under his grandmother's care.

Newton started school while living with his grandmother in the village and then sent to a language school in the Grantham area where he eventually became the smartest child in his school.

While attending Grantham he lives in a boarding house owned by a local pharmacist (William Clarke). Before attending Cambridge University (age 19), Newton had a love affair with William Clarke's adoptive sister, Anne Storer. But Newton focuses himself on the lessons and his love story becomes increasingly erratic and breaks away.

His family took Newton out of school on the grounds that he would become a farmer, however Newton did not like his new job.

The principal of King's School then convinced his mother to send Newton back to school so he could finish his education. Newton was able to finish school at the age of 18 with a satisfactory value.

Newton was accepted at Cambridge University Trinity College (as a student studying while working to overcome his financial problems). At that time, the university curriculum was based on Aristotelian teachings, but Newton preferred to read the ideas of more advanced modern philosophers such as Descartes and astronomers such as Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler.

He then discovered the general binomial theorem and began to develop a mathematical theory that eventually developed into calculus.

Charles Darwin

Born on February 12, 1809 in Shropshire, England. He's the fifth child of Robert Waring Darwin. He studied according to the Classical Greek curriculum. He did not show good academic achievement.

Then he took a major in medicine but did not make much progress. For that he take other steps in order to move forward. His father advised Darwin to become a pastor and study at Christ's College to study theology.

But he also did not make progress, he was happy to hunt and shoot games. Apparently Darwin has an interest in collecting plants, insects, and geological objects. He was interested in his cousin William Darwin's hunting talents.

Darwin is expanding his interest in insects and rare species. Darwin's scientific instinct was encouraged by Alan Sedgewick, an earth expert, and also encouraged by John Stevens Henslow, a professor of botany.

Darwin then became a naturalist (nature lover) and went on an expedition with HMS Beagle. HMS Beagle's expedition team sailed and visited many lands in the South Pacific Ocean before returning to England via Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, in order to circumnavigate the world.

Darwin was also strongly influenced by the thought of Thomas Malthus, with his book "Essay on the Principle of Population". The book says that the population should increase according to the limit of food supplies, otherwise there will be competition for food.

After reading this book, Darwin focused his theory that "all species are focused on meeting food and food needs for survival and for proliferation .

Inspiration

From the above explanation shows that the success of a world-scale scientist does not fall from the sky, or obtained at birth. Success as a scientist is obtained through the creative process (creative learning) during his life.

Not everyone has a great multiply ability, Einstein for example in childhood disadvantaged with the ability of his language, but he developed the ability of the other.

Einstein could be popular in mathematics. For us, it may be skyrocketed in the field of sports, music, organizations or in other fields.

The success of a child will also be formed with the support of parents as experienced by Einstein, or the support of other figures as experienced by Darwin.

It is impossible for a person to succeed on a national scale, let alone on an international scale if they are not interested in reading.

Newton read the ideas of philosophers such as Descartes and astronomers such as Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler. Darwin is influenced by Thomas Malthus (book) thinking, how about you?

People can succeed because it has a character that is not easily discouraged, Thomas Alfa Edison, for example, is very resilient and does not like to complain. Before meeting an incandescent lamp, he must do more than 5,000 experiments at his father's workshop.

How do the international scientists learn by their creative process ?

It is easy enough to have a talent or interest in the field of science (eg in art, physics, chemistry, history, economics, geography, etc.), then develop that interest by studying hard and doing self-taught.

Ask for support from people nearby, including teachers. Have a resilient character (do not like to despair and complain), have a deep interest in reading and reading to gain insight. To be successful then it takes tens, hundreds or thousands of practice times.
