Critical Thinking, Problem-Solving &
Decision-Making
Students use critical thinking skills to plan
and conduct research, manage projects,
solve problems and make informed
decisions using appropriate digital tools
and resources. Students:
a. identify and define authentic
problems and significant questions for
investigation.
b. plan and manage activities to develop
a solution or complete a project.
c. collect and analyze data to identify
solutions and/or make informed
decisions.
d. use multiple processes and diverse
perspectives to explore alternative
solutions.
National Goals for Schooling in 21C
When students leave schools they
should:
have the capacity for, and skills in,
analysis and problem solving and the
ability to communicate ideas and
information, to plan and organise
activities and to collaborate with others.
35. Seven Pillars of Student ICT Standard
DRAFT
Use ICT in an accountable and ethical manner
Select and apply appropriate ICT resources
Use ICT to seek, gather, process and utilize information
Use ICT to acquire and share knowledge
Use ICT for solving problems and making decisions
Use ICT to enhance productivity and learning
Use ICT to express ideas and information creatively and
innovatively
38. Teaching in the Digital Age
Teaching is no longer an isolated endeavor
New teachers have to motivate and inspire
New teachers are digital learners and digital
workers
Teachers today must model behaviors of a 21st
Century professional
Successful teachers are co-learners (with students
and with colleagues)
Teachers in the digital age continue to grow
professionally, and they lead
