Writing is a complex process that involves a number of competences and a degree of imagination. It can be evolved by using the 4Cs in the content areas: integrating creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication, all of which teachers have struggled to include as part of their curricula. These struggles are often caused by logistic and financial constraints. With the professional demand pressingly navigating towards technology, teachers can aid their students by applying solution amenable to immediate use, low cost and tolerates interdisciplinary implementation. The first step would be to abandon the conventional curricula that were taught before as most of the current students are at a whole new technological level. They can be replaced by more pertinent skills that cater to the artistic and professional outlooks of students. This will ultimately equip them to be able to meet the market standards and improve their vocational prospects.

“…Pada tahap ini sebaiknya diupayakan untuk memperjelas pengertian yang muncul, sehingga daya imajinasi memudahkan upaya tersebut.Pada tahap terakhir yakni verifikasi. Tahap ini harus menguji dan menilai secara kritis solusi yang diajukan pada tahap iluminasi, ternyata cara yang diajukan tidak dapat memecahkan masalah, sebaiknya kembali menjalani keempat tahap kembali, untuk mencari inspirasi baru yang lebih tepat (Yates & Twigg, 2017;Costa, Páez, Sánchez, Garaigordobil, & Gondim, 2015;Fischer, Oget, & Cavallucci, 2016).…”

<em><span>Memory is a structured system and causes organisms to be able to record facts and use knowledge to guide their behavior. Memory is also said to be a tool that serves to capture, process and use it when needed. Memory takes place through three processes, namely encoding, storage, and retrieval. The brain works through the information process by processing information through sensory stimulation and storing it into memory and involving thinking activities. Increasing the potential for creative thinking, the incoming stimulus is determined by personal situational factors. The purpose of this literature study is to find out that creative thinking is the result of information processing that occurs in human memory. The results of this literature study show that situational factors that are external or attention getter and prominent characteristics such as visual movements, novelty, clarity (fluency), new and extraordinary stimuli attract attention so that they can influence positive perception that goes into short-term memory. Through thinking activities, one's ideas and concepts developed through the process of relationships between the parts of information stored in him. Thinking is done to understand reality in order to make decisions (decision making), problem-solving (problem-solving) and produce new ones (creativity).</span></em>
