| Details | In this paper, we will discuss the educational effectiveness based on student evaluations of the six-month trial and self-evaluation questionnaires regarding their thinking ability, cooperative skills, creativity, and their English skills. We set four main categories in our course framework: 1) Critical Thinking, 2) Logical Thinking, 3) Design Thinking and 4) English Language. The courses consist of 15 x 90-minute lessons or 30 x 50-minute lessons, and they are designed to help students improve their thinking through the following steps: topic explanation, individual thinking / work, group discussion, and presentation to share their ideas in class. After the six-month trial, we surveyed students about the classes. The number of favourable responses to the effective use of teaching materials increased from the previous year. |
