Critical Reflection on Higher Order Thinking
Higher order thinking is critical in teaching students, today’s digital natives require to be able to create as well as analyse their ideas, as shown in Bloom’s taxonomy, the student needs to be able to remember, understand, apply, analyse, evaluate and create, this has changed from the digital immigrants view of what a child needs to reach the higher order of thinking. In previous Bloom’s model, we see the absence of create, with the skill of synthesis added in, this suggests that through the use of digital media, students have changed in what they need for higher order thinking.
We are not all the same, people in the same age group differ when it comes to technology- i.e. same people in the same age group, some are v. good at using computers, and some are not.
1. Access is vital!
2. Diversity in the group
Expectations of Generation Y
Members of generation y expect their employers/teacher to:
Provide challenging work that really matters
Balance clearly delegated assignments with the freedom and flexibility.
Establish monitoring relationships
Create a comfortable low stress work environment
Balance the role of boss and team player
Allow flexible scheduling
Provide ongoing training and learning opportunities
Spend time getting to know staff members and their capabilities.
