Critical thinking is defined as the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, and/or evaluating information gathered from observations, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. At PeopleStories, there is a strong belief in this critical life skill. PS Mobile Digital School recently launched a Critical Thinking learning course for our children! We are very excited to dive into the details of this course and learn more about it.
Coming into a project that is working in unique circumstances, such as poverty and low literacy levels, can make the design of online learning courses difficult at times. Andreas explained, “Our approach involves repeated content presentation through various means like videos, audios, text, and images to reinforce key learnings.” Language barriers exist as well, as Andreas continues, “Translating courses from English to Khmer definitely presents design challenges. Recently we found that text animations in videos work well with English fonts but don’t display correctly when translated into Khmer fonts. Thanks to our fantastic team of translators, this issue was resolved.” Recently, at Chea Smonn Secondary School, there was a “Test & Learn” session with 30 children, using Andres’s very first designed digital learning unit. Andreas received feedback on that learning unit and beamed with joy, saying, “When I first saw a video of the Test & Learn session it made me incredibly happy. It is amazing to see children working through the unit and trying to figure out the answers to the “brainteasers.”
