Critical Thinking Skills in Education and Life

by Craig Rusbult

Creativity, Technology and Learning

by Avril M Loveless
"Critical Thinking is my life, it's my philosophy of life. It's how I define myself ... I'm
an educator because I think these ideas have meaning. I'm convinced that what we
believe in has to be able to stand the test of evaluation." John Chaffee

“If we were compelled to make a choice between these personal attributes and knowledge about the principles of logical reasoning together with some degree of technical skill in manipulating special logical processes, we should decide for the former.” John Dewey

ALGORITM = LOGICA + CONTROL ( R. Kowalski 1979 )
PROGRAM = ALGORITM + STRUCTURI DE DATE ( N. Wirth 1976 )
SISTEM EXPERT = CUNOASTERE + METAINTERPRETARE (Sterling 1984 )
MODELARE = CUNOASTERE + REPREZENTARE | LIMBAJE = PROCESARE + INTERPRETARE

Daca Matematica nu ar fi fost “nimic nu ar fi fost”: nici roata si nici calculatorul, nici tiparul si nici telefonul, nici Informatica si nici Cibernetica. Dar, fata de toate aceste entitati materiale inventate de om, Matematica il ajuta pe om sa gandesaca toata viata, sa creeze si sa-si imagineze, sa iubeasca natura si pe semenii sai, sa fie emotiv si curajos, sa fie consecvent si ordonat, sa viseze si sa fie fericit.(M.V., 31 ianuarie 2010)

Technology & Learning - Innovative Software Tools Visual Thinking and Learning "Learning to think. Learning to learn. These are the essential skills for student success in every curriculum area and academic pursuit. Research in both educational theory and cognitive psychology tells us that visual learning is among the very best methods for teaching students of all ages how to think and how to learn." (Source: www.inspiration.com)
"Visual learning is a proven method in which ideas, concepts, data and other information are associated with images and represented graphically. Webs, concept maps, idea maps and plots, such as stack plots and Venn plots, are some of the techniques used in visual learning to enhance thinking and learning skills." (Source: www.inspiration.com)
Role of creativity, innovation, problem solving, and teamwork in education Creative Problem Solving in Education "Recently published reports, such as those of the National Center on Education and the Economy’s New Commission on the Skills or the American Workforce, highlight the vital role of creativity, innovation, problem solving, and teamwork in educating today’s students for the challenges of success in the world workplace of the future." (Source: www.creativelearning.com, www.skillscommission.org, Link - The Sources of Innovation and Creativity by Karlyn Adams)
Alice - Programming for a New Generation An Educational Software that teaches students computer programming in a 3D environment "Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. Alice is a freely available teaching tool designed to be a student's first exposure to object-oriented programming." (Source: wwww.alice.org, About Alice, Alice Project)

The ICVL event is organized on a Twinning bases with CNIV during some years, but these are different events. Also, the INTUITION network continues to play an important role for ICVL and CNIV. SIVECO is a constant partner of ICVL and CNIV projects, being also a platinum sponsor.
