hi, all! this is Jenny and I'm the DL this week.
I'm sorry for a little bit late discussion questions..
1.What are some characteristics( or aspects) of human thinking?
2.What are six levels of Bloom's taxonomy?
3.why does writer think Bloom's framework can be helpful for teachers?
*discussion
As a teacher, how can we help students to develop their thinking skills?
Comprehension questions
ReplyDelete1. Characteristics of human thinking include the daily routine of reasoning where one is at the moment, where one's destination is, and how to get there. Also it concludes developing concepts, using words, solving problems, abstracting, intuiting, and anticipating the future. Other aspects of thinking include learning, memory, creavity, communication, logic, and generalization.
2.In Bloom's original taxonomy, moving from the least to the most complex, they are: knowledge, comprehension, applucation, analysis, synthesis, evaluation. Revised taxonomy includes remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create.
3. At first, it is familiar to many prospective and practicing teachers and it helps teachers recognize the difference between difficulty and complexity, so they can help slower learners improve their thinking and achievement significantly. Also, it motivates teachers because they see their students leaning better, thinking more profoundly, and showing more interest.
Discussing Question
In the past class and present schooling focus on answers for testing and practicing and learners weren't exposed the environment of thinking actively. Therefore teacher should help students think for analysis and synthesis and try to teach them how to organize content in such a way that it facilitates and promites higher-order thinnking.

ReplyDelete1. convergent(convergence.noun): a situation in which people or things gradually become the same or very similar
2. divergent : things that are divergent are different from each other
3. domain- specific knowledge : it refers to the knowledge in a particular content area that one must possess in order to carry our the basic processess described above.
4. metacognition : it is awareness one has of one's own thinking process. it is to know when and why they are using the basic processes, and how these functions relate to the cotent they are learning.
5. taxonomy : it is the process of organizing similar things into groups or types, it is similar with classification.
6. synthesis : it is to form a new idea or style by combinating of different ideas or styles.
7. (thiking as) a representational system
: it is recognition of diversity that has led to the notion of multiple intelligences.
It's okay Jenny :) Last week was hard.
ReplyDelete1.What are some characteristics( or aspects) of human thinking?
There are three aspects of human thinking. First, the brain has evolved different mechanisms for dealing with various situations. Second, an individual's thinking patterns vary when encountering different challenges, and these semiautonomous variations in think-ing result in different degrees of success in learning. Third, emotions play an important role in the thinking process. When students recognize the power of their own thinking, they use their skills more and solve problems for themselves rather than just waiting to be told the answers.
2.What are six levels of Bloom's taxonomy?
Remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, create can be six levels of Bloom's taxonomy.
3.why does writer think Bloom's framework can be helpful for teachers?
We do not teach the brain to think. we can, however, help learners to organize content to facilitate more complex processing. So, based on Bloom's taxonomy, we recognize limitation that students and teachers deal with learning at lower levels of complexity because of repeating the answer which is not considered the process used to get the answer and can rewire curriculum, retrain my teachers and encourage students to use their innate thinking abilities to process learning at higher levels of complexity.

As a teacher, how can we help students to develop their thinking skills?
I think we have to give them proper questions to help them remember, understand, analyze about content in class. For example, What is the definition
of past perfect and summarize the paragraph in your own words. And then, we can give them homework to let them write their own thinking considering apply, evaluate and create. For example. if you are main character in this story, what would you do? and so on. We can also use diverse tasks to activate their thinking process. So, to find diverse task, we have to read many book relate to that and apply in real teaching area.
Summarizer
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, this chapter discuss thinking, explores strategies that attempt to describe the characteristic of various type of thinking, and suggests how they can be used in the classroom to promote higher - order thinking and learning.
There are three characteristics of human thinking. The first is type of thinking. Based on question types , some thinking is more complex than other thinking, It means that brain scans show that different parts of the brain are involved as the problem-solving task becomes more complicated. Thus, the brain has evolved different mechanism for dealing with various situations. The second is thinking as a representational system. It means that an individual's thinking patterns vary when encountering different challenges, and these semiautonoumous variations in thinking result in different degrees of success in learning. The third is emotion play an important role in the thinking process. So, when students recognize the power of their own thinking, they use their skills more an solve problems fo themselves rather than just waiting to be told the answers.
The model which represent the dimensions of human thinking have easily devide into two categories, convergent or lower order thinking and divergent or higher order thinking: basic process, domain-specific knowledge, critical thinking, creative thinking and metacognition.
We do not teach the brain to think. we can, however, help learners to organize content to facilitate more complex processing. So, based on Bloom's taxonomy: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, create, we recognize limitation that students and teachers deal with learning at lower levels of complexity because of repeating the answer which is not considered the process used to get the answer and can rewire curriculum, retrain my teachers and encourage students to use their innate thinking abilities to process learning at higher levels of complexity.
Comprehension check.

There are three aspects of human thinking.
First, the brain has evolved different mechanisms for dealing with various situations. Second, an individual's thinking patterns vary when encountering different
challenges, and these semiautonomous variations in think-ing result in different degrees of success in learning.
Third, emotions play an important role in the thinking process.
Q2) What are six levels of Bloom's taxonomy?
From the lowest level , remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, create for Bloom's Taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain.
Q3) why does writer think Bloom's framework can be helpful for teachers?
We do not teach the brain to think. we can, however, help learners to organize content to facilitate more complex processing. We also teach and recognized the limitation of the student's level from the lowest to highest through Bloom's Taxonomy. Teacher can consider the process used to get the answer and rewrite curriculum, retrain my teachers and encourage students to use their innate thinking abilities to process learning at higher levels of complexity.

ReplyDeleteQ) How can we help students to develop their thinking skills?
Teacher needs to know about the level of students. Then, give them an authentic contexts and questions so they can answer and produce their thinking.

As I mentioned above, acquiring the level of students need to help students develop their thinking skills. Based on various activities regarding Bloom's Taxonomy, teacher guides for students to think with suitable ways. Teacher can also prepare an authentic materials and questions to evaluate and create students thinking progress.
