HIGHER THINKING

SKILLS
Through IT based
projects
A college freshman once thought of
taking a rest in a library after class by
casually taking reference books off the
shelf and browsing over their contents.
Being a Liberal Arts students, he lifted
books of St. Thomas Aquinas, the famous
proponent of
Scholastic Philosophy. The written words
of the Doctor of Philosophy didnt come
easy in the understanding of the student,
but he nonetheless mulled over each word
and phrase, reflecting over ideas leisurely.
After a few minutes, the student felt
awakened to the
Fact that he was engaged in a very
pleasant activity, such that he exclaimed to
himself, Wow, Im thinking!

The story didnt end there because since

that day, reflective study became the
students pleasurable and most profitable
activity.
Unwittingly, he made an opening for
exercising higher thinking skills. As a
reward, the student carried himself
through college with the highest
honors and achievements.
