Enlivening Fluid Intelligence in Blended Active Learning within the Cognitive Literacy Value Chain Framework ¬リニ

This is a case based reflection piece drawn from actual experience of successful teaching and blended action learning practices and principles. The cases were drawn from actual interactive teaching and learning in graduate programs in Malaysia, the U.S. A., and South Africa. The experience of teaching and learning involving metacognition and active online discussion internationally is described in terms of the cognitive literacy value chain developed by the author. The need for fluid intelligence in higher order thinking in a globalized knowledge economy is discussed in terms of the development of wisdom through the experience of transcending conventional thinking while sustaining refined thought processes and cultural values. Sample comments from reflection journals are presented. © 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd. Selection and peer-review under responsibility of the Organizing Committee of TTLC2013.
