Various thinking dispositions were identified and students' metacognition were examined to understand its role in learning.
In a sewing class, students learn sewing skills by observing various techniques through in-class demonstration conducted by the lecturer. However, this method of teaching were seen ineffective due to students general lack of engagement.
As such, we constructed teaching activities and sewing videos that promotes active thinking by applying PROJECT ZERO’S THINKING ROUTINES exercises after each sewing demonstration.
In this study, various thinking dispositions were identified and students' metacognition were examined to understand its role in learning. This research also seek insights to students’ perception of the thinking routines incorporated as teaching activities.
