Cisco Systems CCNA 2 manual Gifted Education a Resource Guide for Teachers

SCAMPER involves a series of questions related to a new process or concept. After students encounter new information, they respond to the following questions:

•Substitute – What material, methods, processes, or situations can be used in place of this?

•Combine – What materials, methods, processes, or situations can be combined or added to influence this issue or problem?

•Adapt – Can the materials, methods, processes, or situations be used in another way to find a solution?

•Modify – Can this be made bigger, stronger, and more frequent? Can it be made smaller and more compact?

•Put to other uses – Can this be used instead of other materials, methods, processes, or situations?

•Eliminate – Can parts of this be eliminated?

•Reverse – Can the work be done backwards? Can this process be reversed? SCAMPER emphasizes that no response is too crazy or inconceivable.
