The emphasis in this class is on critical thinking (higher-order thinking skills\u2014HOTS), along with active learning strategies. For this week\u2019s assignment, we will focus on using discussion as an active learning strategy (vs. a passive lecture) to stimulate thought. Note the language that is used in Svinicki & McKeachie Chapter 5 which is replete with an emphasis on deeper thought\u2014\u201cexamine, argue, defend, application, analysis, disagreement, uncertainty, constructive controversy, evidence\u201d etc. While the Svinicki & McKeachie chapter on discussion presents a number of techniques for discussions, we want to go below the surface and dig out some principles or concepts that make discussion such a good active learning strategy for higher-order thinking.First, read the Svinicki & McKeachie chapter 5 thoroughly and search for underlying principles for teaching thought using discussion.Make a list of critical thinking components that can be utilized in a good discussion. For instance, you could say:Discussion can explore concepts that don\u2019t have obvious answersDiscussion can focus on relationships\u2014between ideas, cause\/effect, etc.Discussion can focus on \u201cbest\u201d vs. \u201cbetter\u201d\u2014\u201cwhat is the best solution?\u201d\u2014note that this is an example of evaluation from Bloom\u2019s taxonomyDiscussion can examine underlying beliefsEtc.Add 4-5 general concepts to this list that you have drawn from the Svinicki & McKeachie chapter. Explain each of these concepts and the depth that discussion can take student exploration.Review the techniques of discussion reviewed in Svinicki & McKeachie (starting with a controversy, starting with questions, examining cases, etc.) and explain how several of these techniques can drive thought deeper.Project to your own teaching demonstration that you will present in Module 7: Week 7. For your particular topic, how do you think a well-developed discussion can implement HOTS related to your topic? Draw from Svinicki & McKeachie and cite appropriately.<\/p>\n \n
