Book excerpt: This book makes a case for a STEM-based approach across the curriculum by highlighting the potential impacts of rapid societal change, newly emerging information technologies, and the increasing demand for a new generation of skillful and well-rounded citizens and workers. The book discusses how thinking skills, collaborative learning, communications-related information technologies, science and math, language and literacy, and arts education can be used as mutually reinforcing instruments in preparing young learners. The role of the family, teachers, and school administration in creating an environment where young students can stand a chance is also articulated. Above all, the book reiterates the value of pedagogically attuned teachers who are sensitive to the diversity of backgrounds and capabilities of students. They will oversee and guide the transformation of young learners who will be trained to trust their creativity, humanity, and critical thinking skills in navigating the 21st century world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A valuable guide on creativity and critical thinking to improve reasoning and decision-making skills Critical thinking skills are essential in virtually any field of study or practice where individuals need to communicate ideas, make decisions, and analyze and solve problems. An Introduction to Critical Thinking and Creativity: Think More, Think Better outlines the necessary tools for readers to become critical as well as creative thinkers. By gaining a practical and solid foundation in the basic principles that underlie critical thinking and creativity, readers will become equipped to think in a more systematic, logical, and imaginative manner. Creativity is needed to generate new ideas to solve problems, and critical thinking evaluates and improves an idea. These concepts are uniquely introduced as a unified whole due to their dependence on each other. Each chapter introduces relevant theories in conjunction with real-life examples and findings from cognitive science and psychology to illustrate how the theories can be applied in numerous fields and careers. An emphasis on how theoretical principles of reasoning can be practical and useful in everyday life is featured, and special sections on presentation techniques, the analysis of meaning, decision-making, and reasoning about personal and moral values are also highlighted. All chapters conclude with a set of exercises, and detailed solutions are provided at the end of the book. A companion website features online tutorials that further explore topics including meaning analysis, argument analysis, logic, statistics, and strategic thinking, along with additional exercises and multimedia resources for continued study. An Introduction to Critical Thinking and Creativity is an excellent book for courses on critical thinking and logic at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The book also serves as a self-contained study guide for readers interested in the topics of critical thinking and creativity as a unified whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transforming Schools demonstrates how transformation is no longer an option in teaching and learning - it has become a necessity. Changes in the way we work and the challenges of issues such as climate change, poverty and migration mean that teaching and learning need to alter to incorporate capacities that will help us meet those challenges. The 4Cs: Creativity, Critical Reflection, Communication and Collaboration have long been present in education, but Transforming Schools demonstrates how schools can change teaching and leadership to embed and enact the 4Cs to make them central to dynamic and exciting learning. Miranda Jefferson and Michael Anderson demonstrate how a renewed approach to teaching that integrates the 4Cs can better equip today's learners. They draw on their own international research and experiences in school transformation in a variety of school settings, working in partnership with practitioners, researchers, students and the community. The authors consider how schools might reorganise themselves to become more relevant to their students and to the community. Practical strategies for transformation are included throughout the chapters to demonstrate how learning can be supported and how the 4Cs can be made explicit in schools. These examples will support school leadership teams and teachers to explicitly teach the 4Cs in relevant and challenging ways. This book is essential reading for those looking to transform schools and more effectively meet the needs of today's learners.

This book was released on 2019-09-20 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book emphasizes the dynamic interplay between effective business communication and creative critical thinking and their complements - as a viably sustainable option to leverage the hidden powers of information packaging. The interaction of business communication and creative thinking is so pervasive that separating business communication from creative thinking makes business communication ineffective. Also, creative ideas would hardly see the end of the tunnel if the ideas are not properly packaged and effectively communicated to those that matter. Thus, separating the two will virtually handicap each of them, and both of them. As a result, organizational performance will suffer major setbacks, and by extension profit margin could drop significantly. Think of communication technologies like voice technologies, for example voice synthesis, voice recognition, and podcasting; virtual agents such as chat-bots; mobile communication like Global Positioning System (GPS); networking advances such as peer-to-peer (P2P); wireless networking such as Wi-Fi technology; and short messaging services (SMS). In all these, we can observe that undeniably, even as technologies continue to advance, anyone who has used a computer knows that the benefits of technology are not automatic. For instance, to communicate effectively, you need to keep technology in perspective, use technological tools productively, and disengage from the computer frequently to communicate in person. This tells us that technology is an aid to interpersonal communication, not a replacement for it. Technology can't think for you, communicate for you, or make up for a lack of essential skills. The spellchecker in your word processor is a great example. It's happy to run all your words through the dictionary, but it doesn't know whether you're using the correct words or the best words possible. Consequently, the sheer number of possibilities in many technological tools can also get in the way of successful communication. Therefore, by focusing on your message and your audience, you can avoid falling into the trap of letting technology get in the way of successful communication. Obviously, this requires creative critical thinking to empower communication to be effective. That being said, this book observes that effective business communication and creative critical thinking are two sides of the same coin. As it goes, on one side of the coin, it takes effective business communication to leverage the ultimate or hidden powers of creative thinking. Meanwhile, on the other side of the coin, in order for creative thinking to be successfully leveraged, so that the intangibles of creative thinking ideas can be transformed into tangibles (commercial reality), it requires effective business communication skills to organize the bits and pieces of information that would collectively make sense to those that matter for the ideas to become a viable commercial reality. Honestly, many books have been written in the domain of business communication. Many other books have been written on creative thinking. Still, many other books have been written on information management. But this book is incredibly versatile in its approach. Firstly, it tackles effective business communication, not just business communication as traditionally expressed. Secondly, it treats creative thinking within a novelty of creative critical thinking. Thirdly, it goes beyond the traditional information management perspective, and delves into unveiling some great potentials, inherent in the hidden powers of information packaging. Finally, it blends the three combinations into a holistic approach. Guess what! This approach is HEADING toward resolving some of the most salient issues - spotted in the light of the ever increasing interdisciplinary challenges confronting the world today.
