Dewey defined reflection as active persistent and careful consideration of beliefs. He referred to reflection as thought from puzzlement felt in direct experiences which is an important aspect of learning from experience. Reflective thinking helps practitioners to act in intentional and deliberative ways rather than in a blind and impulsive manner. Reflective practices are usually a process of metacognition which works on ones existing knowledge and helps assist in problem solving. Therefore, how
Problem solving in education is a transformative component in fostering creativity and learning. An educator is constantly seeking new ways to better enhance and to create meaningful learning experiences. In a world that is so driven by technology in the digital age, finding ways to creatively use Computational Thinking and Computer Science skills will create innovative thinkers among our students. Besides the foreseen challenges of the ever changing upgrades and application of new technologies;
As a lifelong learner, it is important to recognize one’s unique needs in order to continuously gain and create new knowledge. Self-directed learning (SDL) was found to be the basis for those who identify with being a lifelong learner (Dynan, Cate, & Rhee, 2008). Therefore, self-directed learners tend to be motivated by intrinsic incentives to successfully acquire new skills and qualities for personal and professional growth (Hiemstra, 1994; Patterson, Crooks, & Lunyl-Child, 2002). Self-directed
be a problem-solving mechanism that seeks to conclude on the expected outcomes. As such, critical thinking is tied around finding solutions to a problem. It is important to note that there is a bias towards the end result to determine whether critical thinking was employed. This makes sense because failing to find a solution to a problem cannot be classified as critical thinking. As Steven Johnson said in Where Good Ideas Come from, it is important to incorporate critical thinking in a problem-solving

This assessment instrument is aimed at stage 2, year 4 addressing the outcomes: problem-solving strategies (PSS2.5), games and sports (GSS2.8) and growth and development (GDS2.9).

Teachers are able to provide appropriate feed back to student’s responses and also consider their teaching strategies in response to the student’s comments and opinions. At the minimum, students should be expected to listen, understand and follow
Today’s strategic environment, whether government or corporate, is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) often times characterized by “wicked problems” or unsolvable problems. Compiled during the early 19th century, Clausewitz’s manuscript “On War” arguably posited the same conclusion in relation to the strategic level of war. He described war as uncertain, unpredictable, and marked by chance. The more the scale moved from the tactical realm to the strategic realm, the more complex
