Introduction

This is a great and unique seminar in the sense that participants will be exposed to three pedagogical approaches such as Problem Solving, Thinking-based learning (TBL) and Thinking Routines. With these approaches, teachers educators and researchers would be able to view teaching and learning in a broader perspectives with flexible application in almost all disciplines.

The fact is that HOT skills cannot be effectively developed among learners simply through HOT questions. We believe that pedagogy must be aligned with assessment. The lack of knowledge in pedagogy especially in making thinking visible both to the learners and teachers / lecturers has been cited as the main problem that hinders the development of HOT skills among learners. The three pegadogical approaches will certainly help teachers / lecturers to view pedagogy in a broader perspectives to effectively develop, infuse and integrate HOT skills among learners and at the same time develop a culture of thinking among them. The program will certainly benefit the participants greatly as researchers and educators that need to constantly learn new knowledge and develop cultures of thinking to pave the way for innovative research work in one’s field of interest. Researchers and educators are learners themselves and as Professor Emeritus David Perkins (Harvard graduate School of Education) said ‘Learning is a consequence of thinking’ and as new knowledge are created we need to be reflective and critical about what we have learned and what we are learning and as Socrates said ‘The unexamined life is not worth living’.
