Critical Thinking Episode 3

[Lorene]

These lessons are becoming more and more interesting.  I am having a better understanding in creating objectives and activities for our classroom by utilizing Blooms Taxonomy.  

We help our students better when we provide them with probing questions that will help them to think beyond a yes or no response.  Also the use of scaffolding method which is a step-by-step guide without forcing them to learning a concept all at once.

I agree after listening to audios # 1-3, its getting more and more interesting. The question asked regarding allowing students to think more deeply it is a very interesting question based on listening to Audio # 3, learning about the other three levels of Blooms Taxonomy, I realized that before my questions were not allowing sudents to think deeply. Instead students merely recall what they memorized. I can now help my students to think deeply by using the first levels and especially now the other three levels of Blooms Taxonomy that was introduced in Audio #3. These levels are Analyzing, Evaluating and Creating, by using these students wil now be responsible forsharing information after thinking about questions asked. Very important in helping my students to think deeply is that I would use the principle of scaffolding by presenting students with follow up questions.
