Lesson 7IT for Higher Thinking Skills and Creativity
In the traditional information absorption model of teaching, the teacher organizes and presents information to student-learners. He may use a variety of teaching resources to support the lesson such as:
Chalkboard
Videotape
Newspaper
Magazine
Photos
The presentation is followed by discussion and the giving of
assignment. This teaching approach has been proven successful for achieving learning outcomes
following the lower end of Bloom’s taxonomy:
Knowledge
ComprehensionApplication
but a new challenge has risen for today’s learners and this is not simply to achieve learning objective but to encourage the development of student who can do more than receive, recall, recite and apply the
knowledge they have acquired.
today, student are expected to be not only cognitive, but also flexible, analytical and creative.
Higher Level Learning Outcomes
To define the higher level thinking skills and creativity, we may adopt a framework that is a helpful synthesis of many models and definitions
on the subject matter.
THINKING SKILLS FRAMEWORK
Complex Thinking Skills Sub-skills
Focusing
Defining the problem, goal/objective-setting, brainstorming
Information gathering Selection, recording of data of information
Remembering Associating, relating new data with old
Analyzing Identifying idea constructs, patterns
Generating Deducing, inducting, elaborating
Organizing Classifying, relating
Imagining Visualizing, predicting
Designing Planning, formulating
Integration Summarizing, abstracting
Evaluating Setting criteria, testing idea, verifying outcomes, revising
The Upgraded Project Method
Given these complex thinking skills, the modern day teacher can now be guided on his goal to help student achieve higher level thinking skills and creativity beyond the ordinary benchmark of the student’s passing, even excelling achievements tests.
The Project Method for Higher Learning Outcomes
• It consists in having the students work on projects with depth, complexity, duration and relevance to the real world.
• This new method involves students in the active creation of information, such that there is sustained reflective thinking on topics that have a real-world quality to them.
• There is a tighter link between the use of projects for simply coming up with products to having the students undergo the process of complex/higher thinking framework of the constructivist paradigm.
Under this framework, it is the students, not the teacher, make decisions about what to put into the project, how to organize information, how to package the outcomes for presentation, and the like.
Meanwhile, the teacher, without staying away from the project endeavor, guides and facilitates the learning process.
The ProcessThe process of project implementation takes the students to the steps, efforts, and experiences in project completion. Thus we have to bear this in mind:
THE PROCESS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OUTPUT.
THE PROCESS REFERS TO THE
THINKING PROCESS
PSYCHOMOTOR PROCESS
AFFECTIVE PROCESS
The product is the result of this all-important process. The product can be…
