Using GIMP to create image with your creative thinking as Diagram 1 shown.

 Strategic and creativity thinking is important when make own teaching tutorial through photoshop, Adobe After Effects and so on, so that other learners can understand your information in the tutorial and not boring when watching your tutorial.

Using analytical and critical thinking to identify the information that your search in internat is useful and not misleading.  

Benefits of thinking skill in using ICT?

ICT is an acronym that stands for Information Communications Technology and are defined,for the purposes of this primer, 

MEANS OF ICT

as a “diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, and to create, disseminate, store, and manage information.”

Example of ICT:ComputersThe InternetSoftwareTelephony

MultimediaBroadcasting technologies (radio and television) 

ICTs can enhance the quality of education in several ways:

· Increasing learner motivation and engagement

· Facilitating the acquisition of basic skills

· Enhancing teacher training.

ICTs are also transformational tools which, when used appropriately, can promote the shift to a learner-centered environment

How can the Use of ICTs Help Improve the Quality of

Education?

What is the role of ICT in Thinking skill ?  

Enhance the development of new styles of teaching and learning (create new style of teaching and learning with creative idea through ICT) 

Open and distance learning (Providing learning opportunities that is characterized by the separation of teacher and learner in time or place, or both time and place)

 Saving time for doing assignment (consult lecturer or friends questions through email ,Facebook and so on immediately)

 Supporting knowledge construction

 providing ‘mind tools’ and as a support for learning conversations

 Student-centred learning  (is an approach to education focusing on the needs of the students, rather than those of others involved in the  educational process, such as teachers and administrators ) 

Why Thinking skill and ICT are supplement and complement

each other? Thinking skill example Innovative use of ICT in

teaching/learning can stimulate dynamic learning environments. The effectiveness of ICT based innovations, scientific knowledge or new educational models rely on their successful integration into existing educational activities. 

How are Thinking skill and ICT related? Technology is a broad term for human tool systems.

Human learning and thinking is mediated by tool-systems. These could include words within a language, a notepad and pencil or a computer network. In this review I limit myself to looking at computer-based technologies used to handle information and aid communication (ICT). Thinking is both individual and social. There is a constant movement of the internalisation of social thinking into individual thinking and externalization outagain into social thinking. Higher order thinking is to be found in the whole movement of thought and not just in the individual part of this movement. 

The objective of the report thinking skill and ICT is study the Thinking skill and ICT is supplement and complement each other to enhance students learning quality. Nowadays,the advancement of technology ICT are increase the quality of education but the effectiveness of using ICT required the help of good thinking skill.

ObjectiveMINI RESEARCH

 

 Firstly,when we created 10 questions questionnaires in Google Doc form and Survey Monkey about assignment mini research with title Thinking skill and ICT.The questions should related with the aim of the research.Next,copy the Google Doc form web link(https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHZQbUxFclBTaWIwbVNfbk9xWXdsalE6MQ) and share it to our UKM friends through Facebook and email and also print out the questionnaires, give at least 10 friends in the UKM kolej to answer.

Results of the survey:

The total number of respondents in graph TS_Gender is 26.The 6 respondents is answer the online Google Doc questionnaire form(23.0%) and 20 respondents is answer the Spreadsheed questionnaire(77.0%). The results of the survey shows that respondents of female is higher than male respondents.

Gender

Age

The graph TS_Age shows that 21 respondents with the age range between 15-20(80.0%) is higher then5 respondents with age range between 21-25(20.0%).

The graph TS_Discuss shows that most of the respondents often discuss their assignments with peers using Facebook, email and so on that is 20 respondents(77.0%).5 respondents answer that will discuss the assignment using ICT when some peers is not free to meet out(19.0%).Next, only have 1 respondent answer that do not discuss assignment with groups members through Facebook, email and so on(4.0%).

Discuss

The graph TS_assignment shows that the same number of repondents answer that Sometime will using ICT when the assigment required using ICT to complete(50.0%) and always using ICT to complete theassignment(50.0%).The overall graph TS_ Assignment shows that the learning culture of the UKM studends mostly base on ICT.No responden on only refer to conventional method.

Assignment

The graph TS_ICT shows that 17 responded that the effectiveness ICT can enhance people thinking skill is reasonable which is the highest compare to other(65.0%).7 respondents answers that ICT is very effective to enhance people thinking skill(27.0%).Other 2 respondent responded that ICT will not enhance people thinking skill(8.0%).The overall graph TS_ICT shows that majority studends have confidents of ICT can improve peoplethinking skill.

ICT

The graph TS_Games shows that 18 respondents agree playing computer games improve thinkingskill(69.0%),8 respondents are not agree this statement(31.0%).

Games

The graph TS_Encourage shows that 17 respondents agree ICT help encourage and enhance student's independent learning(65.0%).6 respondents not agree ICT can help encourage and enhance student's independent learning(23.0%) and 3 respondents not sure about ICT can help encourage and enhance student's independent learning(12.0%)

Encourage

Base on the graph TS_Supplement shows that 17 respondents agree that Thinking Skill and ICT are supplement and complement each other(65.0%),4 respondents strongly agree that Thinking Skill and ICT are supplement and complement each other(15.0%) and have 5 respondents that not support Thinking Skill and ICT are supplement and complement each other(19.0%).The overall graph TS_ Supplement shows that most students are agree that the Thinking Skill and ICT are supplement and complement each other.

Supplement

Base on the results of graph TS_Website shows that majority 19 respondents will search the information for assignment through any website that have the information they want(73.0%) and 9 respondents will search the information through formal website like Google scholar, Google books and UKM subscription research database(35.0%).Base on the graph, critical thinking dan analytical thinking of the UKM students are weakbecause majority students will search the information in any website that have the informations they want and the informations may bring misleading to them.

Website

Base on the graph TS_Effectiveness shows that The Good thinking skill is important in improves theeffectiveness of using ICT receives the most agree from respondent which 18 respondents answer “Agree”(69.0%)and 5 responded “Strongly agree”(19.0%).Only minor part of 3 respondents answer “Strongly disagree”(12.0%).

Effectiveness

The overall graph TS_ Power point shows that Creative thinking of UKM student is in median level.

Power point

Base on the graph TS_Advantage shows that the most of the respondent agree that nurture the students with ICT eucation since they are young is to enhance and boost the development of a country(19.0% Strongly agree and 65.0% Agree).Other 1 respondent is disagree the statement (4.0%)and 3 responded not sure about the statement(12.0%). The overall graph TS_ Advantage shows that majority students are agree that nurture thestudents with ICT education since they are young is to enhance and boost the development of a country.

Advantage

The ICT and Thinking skill have the very close relationship and play the important role to improve student learning quality.Base on our mini research,we find that UKM students thinking skill still need to be improve. The ways we need to improve the problem is we should nurture the student since they are young. This is because when they are still in the stage of becoming an adult, their creativity and innovative thinking are developing as well. Hence, with the early stage of education towards these youngsters, we are able to create a more savvy ICT society in order to enhance and boost the development of a country.Next, Government of Malaysia should refer to the other successful countries in the field of ICT such as Germany or Korea as well .This is because with the help and guidance of these professional countries, the government of Malaysia is able to kill two birds with one stone because the exchanging ideas between two countries on the topic of ICT will create a new idea to boost the development of technology.Lastly, Parents should implant a critical and creative thinking when their children are born. This is probably because scientists have proven that children tend to imitate their parents actions. As a result, parents have played a role model to their children as well.
