"Knowledge is power"
"Printing, gunpowder and the compass: These three have changed the whole face and state of things throughout the world; the first in literature, the second in warfare, the third in navigation; whence have followed innumerable changes, in so much that no empire, no sect, no star seems to have exerted greater power and influence in human affairs than these mechanical discoveries."
Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

"Informatica restabileşte nu numai unitatea matematicilor pure şi a celor aplicate, a tehnicii concrete şi a matematicilor abstracte, dar şi cea a ştiinţelor naturii, ale omului şi ale societăţii. Reabilitează conceptele de abstract şi de formal şi împacă arta cu ştiinţa, nu numai în sufletul omului de ştiinţă, unde erau întotdeauna împăcate, ci şi în filosofarea lor."

"Ştiinţele sunt modele şi reprezentări virtuale ale cunoaşterii."

(CNIV 2008, M. Vlada)
Un rol promordial in promovarea unei discipline in randul tinerilor il are profesorul. Acesta trebuie sa isi indeplineasca menirea de Dascal prin folosirea metodelor didactice si pedagogice cele mai adecvate descoperirii studierii disciplinei respective de catre cati mai multi elevi si studenti. Dascalul trebuie sa vada in elevii sai nu “elevi buni” si “elevi slabi”, ci “elevi” ce trebuie sa fie indrumati sa-si descopere aptitudinile catre domeniile cunoasterii si sa fie incurajati sa parcurga “step by step” tainele invatarii si descoperirii cunoasterii stiintifice.(M.V., 1 februarie 2010)

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

SISTEM EXPERT = CUNOASTERE + METAINTERPRETARE (Sterling 1984 )

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)

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)

Models and Mathematics - Systems Thinking, Creativity

"All what is correct thinking is either mathematics or feasible to be transposed in a mathematical model."
Grigore C. Moisil (1906-1973), întemeietorul informaticii româneşti


“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different outcome.”
Albert Einstein

Thinking and Reasoning

Six Questions for Effective Thinking and Problem - Solving “IDEALS”:
1. Identify the problem. — “What’s the real question we’re facing here?”
2. Define the context. — “What are the facts and circumstances that frame this problem?”
3. Enumerate choices. — “What are our most plausible three or four options?”
4. Analyze options. — “What is our best course of action, all things considered?”
5. List reasons explicitly. — “Exactly why we are making this choice rather than another?”
6. Self-correct. — “Okay, let’s look at it again. What did we miss?”
