The document discusses the transition from traditional teaching methods to approaches that foster higher-order thinking and creativity among students. It emphasizes the use of project-based learning, where students take an active role in decision-making and organizing information, to enhance their cognitive skills. The proposed methods aim to address the needs of modern learners by developing flexibility, analytical abilities, and creativity through practical projects and technology integration.

1. IT FOR THE HIGHER
THINKING SKILLS AND
CREATIVITY

2. In the traditional information absorption model
of teaching, the teacher organizes and presents
information to students-learners. He may use a
variety of teaching resources to support lesson
such as chalkboard, videotape, newspaper or
magazine and photos. The presentation is
followed by discussion and the giving of
assignment. Among the assignments may be a
research on a given topic.

3. This teaching approach has proven
successful for achieving learning outcomes
following the lower end of Bloom’s
Taxonomy: knowledge, comprehension, and
application are concerned.
But a new challenge has arisen for
today’s learners and this is not simply to
achieve learning objectives but to encourage
the development of students who can do
more than receive, recall, recite and apply
the knowledge they have acquired

5. Today, students are expected to be
not only cognitive, but also flexible,
analytical and creative. In this
lesson, there are methods
proposed by the use of computer-
based as an integral support to
higher thinking skills and creativity.

6. Higher Level Learning
Outcomes
To define 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. The framework is not
exhaustive but a helpful guide for the
teacher’s effort to understand the
learner’s higher learning skills.

7. 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
.

8. The Upgraded Project Method
In this modern day, the teachers are now
guided on their goal to help students achieve higher
level thinking skills and creativity beyond the
ordinary.
We know the fact that the ordinary classroom
is awfully lack in instructional toolkits; as a result
the teacher might have a difficulty to bring the
students to the higher domains of learning and
achieving, so the project method is suggested.
Project Method
Teachers assign the students to work on
projects with depth, complexity duration and
relevance to the real word.

9. Constructivist Paradigm
It emphasize on how the students construct
knowledge. The students, not the teacher are the one
who make decisions about what to put into the project,
how to organize information, how to package the
outcomes for presentation and the like.
Process- refers to the steps, effort and experiences in
project completion.
Product- is the result or the end point of the process.
As a future teacher, we must take into consideration
the process in every project because in the process, the
students were able to think and apply their creativity as
results they have develop their higher order thinking
skills.
