Today we learn about the topic Evaluation Emphasis which is the element that we intergrated in the teaching and learning. The current change in today’s trend needs teachers and students to adapt with the change of situation. 


First, we are learned about the thinking skills which are divided into two which are critical thinking and creative thinking. For the thinking skills, it is important because it to enable the learners to analyse the information. For critical thinking, it is more to solve the problems skills. Second, learning on how to learn. When you as the teacher, you should asked the students to find out the solution on their own and this is automatically the students learn by themselves. Third, the ICT skill ( information and communication technology ). In teaching and learning process, there are many ways and many technologies that student can use to learn through it such as by using the slide of power point. Then we learn about multiple intelligent. The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults. These intelligences are:

-Linguistic intelligence (“word smart”)
-Logical-mathematical intelligence (“number/reasoning smart”)
-Spatial intelligence (“picture smart”)
-Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence (“body smart”)
-Musical intelligence (“music smart”)
-Interpersonal intelligence (“people smart”)
-Intrapersonal intelligence (“self smart”)
-Naturalist intelligence (“nature smart”)
