In what condition the brainstorming technique may works effectively?

Brainstorming is an effective technique from group creativity in giving idea to solve problem. It is a little more effective than working independently as an individual. It generates from the ideas and thoughts that can be change and improve into useful ideas.

First, when there is a conflict in the group. By having conflicts in the group there shall be more effective ideas and solutions to solve the problem occur. Conflict is divided into two which are the functional conflict and dysfunctional conflict. Dysfunctional conflict is not bring any good to the group as they are unhealthy conflicts. For example, a husband and wife can't get along and fight all the time and blame the youngest child for all their troubles by saying "If it weren't for him, we'd all be a happy family!". Functional conflicts are the good conflict as it gives increment of effectiveness of the group. For instance, a family sits down and argues about the pros and cons of going to the beach for summer vacation. They have planned on going to the mountains. So from the above examples, functional conflict may bring to the effective brainstorming.

Second, when there is assessments or group projects. This happens when the group is given tasks to be completed. They will sit together and discuss the effective ideas for the given tasks. The members of the group will give ideas in order to solve the problems of the tasks. When they want the task to be completed perfectly, they will tend to develope more ideas then they usually do. For example, group A is given a task to complete within a long period of time. The group members will sit together frequently and discuss the best solutions to get more ideas to complete the task.

Third, when the group or individuals are forced to give answers or ideas. Each members of the group will find it tense in the situation when they are forced to give answers or ideas. They will automatically developed the brainstorming technique where they sit together and gives as many ideas as they can. There will be no critics in the idea given. But, at the end of the dicussion, the best idea will be selected. For instance, Lecturer A gives only five minutes to each group to develope answers in the question given. Each members of the group will sit together and develope the best answers.

As a conclusion, brainstorming technique is the best method to be used in any situation.=).

I think you should re-read the question all over again ... I don't think the question in any way asking about the method ...

Merely throwing the idea that you might want to consider...

hello guys...

In our opinion,your answer relatd to the topic but maybe you all miss some point from the question...

the questiuon require about conditions...

We can take this course (PAD 330) as the way Miss Fisha require us to prepare our answer given in only 5 minutes...

From this way, we brainstroming our ideas in only 5 minutes through participation of our group members to get the best answer..is it right??

We think this condition will make brainstorming tehcnique may works effectively..

Anyway, congratulations because you guys done a nice try...

Good luck..

we also agree with miss fisha n nameless..from our reading and ideas we think one of your point should include 'the brainstorming technique may works effectively when we are having critics by the others,no when the critic is allowed.'

tq..
