IT
for Higher Thinking Skills and Creativity
In
the traditional information absorption model of teaching, the teacher organizes
and presents information to student-learners. The teaching approach has been
proven successful for achieving learning outcomes following the lower end of
Bloom’s taxonomy: knowledge, comprehension and application are concerned. Today,
students are expected to be not only cognitive but also flexible, analytical
and creative. To define higher level thinking skills and creativity, we may
adopt a framework that is a helpful synthesis of many models and definition on
the subject matter.
As
what I have notice during our class, our teacher not only focused on one specific
skill of the student but all of our thinking skills and psychomotor skill was
being started to developed in just one session of our subject. For example, on
our TLE class our teacher show us a finished product of flower which is being
made from the corn husk and the student will analyzed on what was the first
step that they are going to do to imitate the flower that the teacher was being
presented.
To
let the students do and learn about a certain thing is a good start that they
can develop their independency in learning and to remove some load of the
teacher in teaching or spoon feeding the lesson to the students. It is also
helpful for the students to develop their thinking skills because the teacher
is not always on their side to guide them the on how to do a certain task that
the students should need to do.
What
we have learned or observed from our previous class can be apply in our future
classroom setting as future teachers, but we can’t apply it on the same way but
we need to furnish some part on the certain activity that should attract the
interest of the students.
