Comparison of theories of G. Wallas and G. Polya with school practice
Wallas:
1. Preparation (hard work on a problem).
2. Incubation (concious preparation is changed into unconscious mechanism of searching for the solution).
3. Illumination (an idea emerges into a conscious one).
4. Verification of the right idea.
Polya:
1. Understand the problem.
2. Devise a plan.
3. Carry out the plan.
4. Look back.
Observation of the process of problem solving on some examples.
