Project Title Overview
Although
Singapore students regularly rank at the top of international
competitions in mathematics and science, they are often considered
as passive, quiet, and lacking thinking and leadership skills (cf.
Warschauer, 2001). How to promote students’ critical thinking
becomes crucial in the Singapore education. In recent years, the use
of weblogs has attracted numerous people’s attention, and a large
number of weblogs have been created on the Internet. However, very
little research on the use of weblogs for teaching and learning in
primary or secondary schools has been conducted. In this research,
secondary school students will write online reflections in weblogs
by following three different approaches: i) without ongoing
scaffolding; ii) peer review; and iii) teacher feedback. The project
will examine how to effectively promote students’ critical thinking
by using weblogs on the secondary school level.
