William's model for developing thinking and feeling processes

In 1970, William published the first volume of his work on classroom ideas for encouraging thinking and feeling. He has three-dimensional model. He argues about different teaching strategies and adopting different teaching roles. Different teaching strategies and adopting different teaching roles can bring changes in students cognitive and effective behaviors and moving them towards a higher level of creative thinking.

We said before he has three-dimensional model and it divided in three sections:

a. Dimension one: subject content

Consists of subjects that make up the school curriculum. Content is the

vehicle for students to think and feel about.

B. dimension two: teacher behavior

Used by teacher to develop student thinking and creativity.

c. Dimension three: pupil behavior

Consists of eight student processes that involved in creative thinking.

he wants to increase students creative output and placing equal value on cognitive and effective aspects and divide the third dimension in two parts: four cognitive and four affective behaviors.

Cognitive behaviors

1. fluency

2. flexibility

3. originality

4. Elaboration

<p class="MsoNormal" dir="LTR" style="direction:ltr;unicode-bidi:embed;">William wants to used his model in elementary schools in the pragmatic way. in his model creative thinking is very important and he achieves a balance between the need for pupils to demonstrate qualities and the need for teachers to provide them with a wide range of opportunities to do.
