Reflection lesson 8 (Higher Thinking Skills through IT-Based Projects)


Higher Thinking Skills through IT-Based Projects

It is the students themselves who demonstrate higher thinking skills and creativity through such activities searching for information, organizing and synthesizing ideas, creating presentation, and the like. There are IT-based projects conducive to develop higher thinking skills and creativity among learners are; Resource-based projects were the teacher steps out the traditional role of being a content excerpt and information provider, it let the students find their won facts and information or the teacher may supply the data or information; simple creations; guided hyper-media projects and web based projects.
From the time that I’ve entered in college, I’ve noticed that there are some of my instructors who let us think a lot during our class, examination and other learning activities in order for us to formulate the answers. There are some of my instructor let us search an information about a certain topic and on the next meeting he/she let us stand in front and ask a lot of information about what I’ve research and s/he will add some information that we haven’t say.
It is good for the students that the teacher let them think deeper during the class because it is the way that the students can develop their higher thinking skills not only on one subject but in all of their subjects. It can also use in a real life situation for instance; one of the family member doesn’t know how to cook a pasta and in order for him/her to do the task he/she surf to the net the procedure on how to cook and think or analyze what is being written on the monitor.
Higher order thinking skill is one of the most important things that the student should develop and the teacher is one of the instruments that would help them to achieve those things. The first thing that the teacher can help them to develop those thinking skills is to let the students surf through the net about the certain topic and should answer the following questions and it would require the students to analyze what they have search and also the questions.
