Reflection : THINK, PAIR, SHARE.

Assalamualaikum.

It has been three weeks since I first register here. So it means, I have learnt Computer in Education for 3 weeks. How time flies so fast. Okay, first thing first. What is the newest and most important thing that I have learnt so far. It was about THINK, PAIR, SHARE. It is definitely such a new thing for me who never got exposed with these kind of things.

Basically, what I understand THINK, PAIR and SHARE is a cooperative learning which requires students (me) individual participation. This process undergoes three steps :

  1. THINK is where we need to think creatively about the question that had been given. We got to search about Open Source Software.
  2. PAIR is where we were grouped into pair or triplet. We can exchange ideas and give responses about other's opinion and points. Basically, it was like a discussion.
  3. SHARE is where we need to share it with the whole class. This gives us more confidence to present with our partner. It is very good as the ideas become more concrete and solid through this three steps.
In my opinion, this strategy helps to improve my communication skills. It helps me to give more confidence to talk and communicate among my classmates during discussion session. At the same time, it enhances our understanding about the topic as we undergo many stages before start presenting.
  
I really hope I can apply this strategy to other subjects too. That's all I think. Thank you.
