Item Blended matters: Nurturing critical thinking(SAGE Publications Inc., 2023-02-07T00:00:00) Jaswal, Pooja; Behera, BiswajitThe Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Learning Framework-2030 presents critical thinking as one of the transformative competencies for incorporation into the curriculum. Critical thinking refers to one�s ability to distinguish relevant information from irrelevant information, relate ideas, infer and justify whether a particular assumption is acceptable or unacceptable. This article argues that blended learning provides a concrete and meaningful context for enhancing learners� critical thinking. Through collaboration, blended learning makes it possible to control, observe interactions, regulate tasks, and mediate in the acquisition of new knowledge. This form of collaboration creates a student-centered learning environment. Such a shift prompts to examine three objectives: (1) comprehend the creation of a blended learning environment. (2) discuss the characteristics of collaborative blended learning. (3) examine the role of collaboration in developing critical thinking among learners. To achieve the purpose of implementing a blended learning strategy in the classroom, the classroom teacher must create collaborative and participative learning experiences. Blended learning brings collaborative experience to develop higher-order thinking skills such as critical thinking. � The Author(s) 2023.Item Pedagogy Matters(AIU House, 2018) Behera, BiswajitItem Constructivist Pedagogy: The imperative for Meta Cognitive Reflection(AIU House, 2018) Behera, BiswajitItem Constructivist Pedagogy: The imperative for Meta Cognitive Reflection (MCR)(Regional Institute of Education,Ajmer, 2018) Behera, BiswajitThe core of learning is to develop basic forms of understanding which is characterized by forms and processes of verification, validation and justification, knowledge creation and creativity. Both explicit and articulated knowledge as well as tacit and experiential knowledge, creativity and excellence are all integral to the form of knowledge and knowing. It is therefore to organize learning experiences to empower ‘learners’ and ‘transform learning’. Reflection is critical to learning and transfer; it means to be embedded in assessment. A related approach is to require learning to serve a Meta cognitive reflection (MCR). This strategy is the presentation of multiple perspectives to learners by providing multiple representations on the content because there is no single schema. Therefore, Constructivist pedagogy can become the medium for practices of reflection. Strategies like reflective lesson logs, reflective journal, self assessment questions, wait time and group processing which provide opportunities for use of Meta cognitive reflection are suggested.
