alternative answer, different avenues and
variations.
15. CONVERGENT QUESTIONS
• Convergent thinking is an ability of thinking in a
way of logical integration to create new solutions
for any problems based on principles, theoretical,
law or instants experience (Guilford 1967)
• Mostly labeled as – comprehensions, application,
