Learning to be
analyze (Gabriela Orellana)
This week article was very interesting and I really like it.
It present information about how technology influence in many ways the critical
thinking skills of learners.This article was by Ken Bain. Intrinsic is the
abilities that students acquire along the learning´s process where learners
acquire new knowledge in different way. Sometimes students feel nervous or
afraid to express something because their opinion can be wrong. in this case
the teacher must implement activities Where students say their own critical
thinking do not matter if they are wrong because everybody think very
different. Also,Teacher must creative with topics very interesting for
them.However, I believe that students can use computers for learn to make
analyze. Sometimes make analises is very complicated because not everyone has
this ability.Moreover, In the internet they can find a lot of exercises to
develop this skill, but the motivation is very important because teachers must
help students to feel comfortable if teachers let students feel free to thinks
and make análisis students wouldn't be afraid to express themselves. In
conclusion, As future teachers we must change our methods and leave behind the
traditionalism where only the teacher is right because the student can also express
himself without any problem.in fact, what teachers do is to make students
memorises things and just complete book without letting students having a
critical thinking.
I totally agree with you gaby students can use the tecnology for learn in interesting way, depend of teacher use this advantage to do more interesting the classes, a space that they can express their opinion or introduce their selves.
ResponderBorrarI agree with you Gaby! Sometimes critical thinking is not there because teachers do not provide the right instructions; I guess this is due to lack of information on how to foster this approach. Sometimes, it relies on the teacher' s perspective; I think some old fashioned teachers may not want their students to think critically fearing they may surpass them in knowledge.I think it is a shame but there are still people who think so!
ResponderBorrarRegarding students fearing to share their opinion because of mean classmates, I totally agree on that too. Sometimes it is not the teachers' fault at all; I guess we will always find problematic or better said “hyperactive" students in our classrooms; however, it does not mean teachers cannot do anything about it. I think that critical thinking goes beyond sharing your opinion... I think it wakes up a desire to keep learning.
