Critical Thinking and Problem Solving. team term
projects. Each team will have approximately 40-45
minutes to present a report.
In the Spring 2003 version of the DAE2 course, each
student is involved in three term projects:
- Critical Thinking and Problem Solving. Here, teams of
about five students each are focussing on the current and
potential impact of ICT on lower-order and higher-order
knowledge and skills. The emphasis is on spending more
elementary school student learning time and effort on
critical thinking and problem solving, and on students
learning effective uses of ICT in adding critical
thinking and problem solving.
- Staff Development. Class members are divided into
teams based on the schools in which they are doing their
spring term field placement practicums. Each team is
doing an extensive school-based project of planning for
and implementing staff development within their
school.
- Hit the Toad Running. Each class member is doing an
individual term project in which they better prepare
themselves to integrate effective use of ICT into their
teaching job.
This is the last class meeting of the term. The time will
be devoted to team presentations on the topic Critical
Thinking and Problem Solving. Some objectives for this
assignment include:
- Participants will develop increased understanding of
the critical thinking and problem solving components of
the K-5 curriculum.
- Participants will develop increased understanding of
roles of ICT in the lower-order and the higher-order
knowledge and skills in the K-5 curriculum.
- Participants will develop and do a high quality
multimedia presentation designed for helping their peers
learn about the topic of ICT in Critical Thinking and
Problem Solving.
