    This document outlines four IT-based projects to develop higher-order thinking skills: 1. Resource-based projects where teachers facilitate student-led learning by determining topics and problems for students to research independently using varied sources beyond textbooks. 2. Simple creations where students develop their own software or multimedia materials to supplement learning. This focuses on analyzing, synthesizing, and promoting ideas through defining tasks, brainstorming, judging ideas, taking action, and flexibility. 3. Guided hypermedia projects where students either create hyperlinked documents on a topic or explore pre-existing hypermedia resources to develop navigation, evaluation, and communication skills. 4. Collaborative projects where students work together using IT

    Higher Thinking Skills Through IT-

    Based Projects

    Lesson 8
    Higher Thinking Skills Through IT-
    Based Projects

    Constructivist approach to instruction.

    a) the tacher creating the learning environment


    b) the teacher giving students the tools and
    facilities, and
    c) the teacher facilitating learning.
    Four IT-based projects:
    I. RESOURCE-BASED PROJECTS
    In these projects, the teacher steps out of
    the traditional role of being an content expert
    and information provider , and instead lets the
    students find their own facts and and
    information.
    Only when necessary for the active
    learning process does the teacher step in to
    supply data or information.
    The general flow of events in resurce-
    based projects are:

    1) The teacher determines the topic for the


    examination of the class.
    2) The teacher presents the problem to the
    class.
    3) The students find information on the
    problem/ questions.
    4) Students organize their information in
    response to the problem/questions.
    o The central principle is to make the students go
    beyond the textbook and curriculum
    materials.
    o Students are also encouraged to go to library,
    particularly to the modern extension of the
    modern library, the internet.
    o The inquiry-based or discovery approach is
    given importance in resource-based projects.
    This requires that the students, individually or
    cooperatively with members of his group, relate
    gathered information to the 'real world.'
    The Table below can provide the
    difference between the traditional and resource-
    based learning approach to instruction.

    Traditional learning Resource-based learning


    model model

    Teacher is expert and Teacher is a guide and


    informatio provider facilitator

    Textbook is key Sources are varied


    source of information (print, vedio, internet, etc.)
    Focus on facts
    Focus on learning
    Information is packaged
    inquiry/quest/discovery
    In neat parcels

    The product is the be-all


    Emphasis on process
    and end-all of learning

    Assesment is
    Assessment is quantitive quantitative and
    qualitative
    II. SIMPLE CREATIONS

    Students can also be assigned to create their


    software materials to supplement the need for
    relevant and effective materials.

    In developing software, creativity as an


    outcome should not be equated with ingenuity or
    high intelligence.
    3 kind of skills/ablities:

    o Analyzing - distinguishing similarities and


    differences
    o Synthesizing - making spontaneous connections
    among ideas
    o Promoting - selling of new ideas
    Five key tasks may be recommended:

    1) Define the task.


    2) Brainstorm.
    3) Judge the ideas.
    4) Act.
    5) Adopt flexibility.
    III. GUIDED HYPERMEDIA PROJECTS

    Two different ways of self-made multimedia
