Clear Thinking ◽

The unit or minicours in logic so frequently favored in high schools has the laudable objective of familiarizing the student with the format of rigorous thinking. This, however, is but the bare though necessary skeleton of daily thought. Pushing the metaphor a bit, the nerve ends of the thinking person must analyze the emotional aura surrounding the ideas expressed by others. In a word, the thinking person must be able to distinguish between the form of thought (logic) and the dressing of thought (propaganda). This game, Propaganda, addresses itself to clear thinking, so that the student becomes familiar with the six major techniques of swaying the thinking of people. Each technique has at least, eight and at most ten varieties. The players (there must be two, but. better if there are more) first, learn how they fool themselves; then, they proceed to techniques of influencing others. Given concrete situations. the players seek to identify the precise variety of technique used in the propaganda statement. Twenty plays constitute a game. The winner is classified as a “clear thinker” for that, round; the loser may be anything from a “ding-a-ling” to a “Gullible Gus.” The explanation book is quite clear. The authors, Robert W. Allen of Nova School and Lorne Greene of “Bonanza” (!), have created a most useful tool for thinking one's way through the porridge of propaganda.— Barnabas B.

Findings: The study found out the use of ICT in schools, leads to educational and pedagogical outcomes which is useful to both the facilitators, teachers and the students. The use of ICT across educational institutions can promote collective, zealous and long-life learning, enhancing students’ enthusiasm, provide better convenience to information, enhance shared working resources, generating and deepen comprehension, and help learners reason and express communication creatively Recommendations: The study recommends that there should be more funding to particularly the public schools which are the most constrained, as well as all the others, so that the schools may afford to procure computer hardware, management software, and Internet connectivity which are critical in supporting management functions in the schools and also for the investments sustainability. Such funding will address the initial high cost of ICT infrastructure as well as the recurrent cost of maintenance and operations like hardware servicing, acquisition of requisite and updated software, printing and data
