Youth is the power of the country. Development to catch up on, however, developing youth to be mature as a qualified leader is significantly necessary to move ahead and prosper the country.
Besides of its curriculum that expecting all students can learn and understand about thinking process and how to analyze things thinking creatively, however, the out-of-class activities considered as part of the student potential development as well.
None: Look what are they doing? Yeah, let's take a closer look, shall we?
Hello, what are you doing?
Well, we're arranging things for donation to the disaster victims.
Wow, looks interesting. What's this project working out? So many things, food preparation, or arranging the necessity for donation. They're making a simple hand sanitizer gel to use, and another group there now packing survival kits.
We're students, we need to do this too, I think. Just attending classes, it makes me really tired anyway. Now, most of communities around us are in trouble. So if we could do something, we should help them out. The most important thing why we're gathering here, besides the dwellers shall get support from us to carry on, we'll also experience the public works and teamwork to practice facing problem-solving. That's considered as our self-development.
Hey Pangnawat, we got a problem now. The packed food we bought now all got rotten, right there too. They requested us to take all delivered items back. The dwellers said they don't want it, so we waste our time. Also, the rental truck we paid, we totally now have not enough storage space, and things could be damaged if we carry back and forth.
Whew, I'm so tired now.
Wait, take it easy. All problems can be solved. We now made quite very few, and you'll give up so easy? Let's find out the solution. I heard there's a kind of technique to make all problems solvable. It's six hats or something.
Six thinking hats or six hats of ideas, right?
See, right, right, that's a six hat. Well, six hats of idea, we used to study the subject of knowledge of the land when we were a freshman.
How is it? I heard some of it, but I have no idea about it.
Six thinking hats technique is created and developed by Dr. Edward de Bono. Basically, I can explain that. Would we want to make a decision or to solve some kind of problems, then we just take all six hats to consider it by issue. Anyway, each hat has a different color and meaning. For example, starting from the white hat, especially to find out for the facts or information or anything reality existed. What's the fact in this issue? Any information? How concerned is it about this issue? After wearing this hat, you must be neutral, stay unbiased, and keep on the real basic data. Personal opinion or expectation won't be considered as fact.
Unable to be considered for the red hat is especially for emotional or feeling expression. No reasons are required. How do you feel about this story? What can the omen tell us? The first reaction after you realize this? It could be both positive or negative feeling.
The next hat is the yellow one. This suits me really well. It's the hat of positive thinking only, optimistic point of view for the possible positive result. Makes you see the benefit, advantage, or strength point, efficiency, and target fulfillment. Ah, how sweet it is.
Next hat is the black one. An indicator of weakness, disadvantage, unfairness, unworthiness, difficulty, and obstacle in work. Anyway, you may consider this as just only a pessimistic hat with anxiety or only fear, but actually, this black hat helps us pay our attention more carefully, considering the safety and danger or any risk may happen. Anyway, both of yellow hat and the black one would be a reasonable thinking that different from the red one, which obsessed with emotion and feeling without any reason needed.
Ahem, then the next one that's green color one, which is about creative thinking. Because you're such a creative one, you know. This hat is significantly creating for an idea, new problem solutions, or any more possible options. The concept of idea that lead you to make a positive change, to consider side effects may occur, finding out the way to solve problem for the black hat.
And the last hat now, that's a blue hat. Used for setting some fixed issue or target that we require. This hat shall control the thinking process of those hats to summarize, make decision, and choose for solutions, including that implementation plan.
How is it? Do you get it?
None: See, I got it. Thank you very much, bro. And it's very kind of you to explain to us the meaning of each color of all hats, but I can't imagine when we'll apply these six hats in a real-life situation. So shall we try to use these six hats to solve the incoming problem now?
None and See: Let's think over this, then you understand these six hats all together.
Here we go. According to the situation that happens now, do you have any information or facts? We spent the donated money for 1234 packed food, but the detail of all donated items also has been listed on the log book for those two communities where we're expected to give support, five kilometers radius from our university with 234 populations.
So the number of our packed food is enough for everyone in the community, I think. It's nice with a lot of packed food, then it will be delivered extensively to all dwellers, be stuffed to one and all.
Yes, Pam, I'm very thankful to all villagers to have enough food to eat during this time, but I think that's too much as a cooked meal. It's going to be rotten if they don't eat it all up in time, then we'll lose money worthlessly and also generating a lot of waste and environment.
That's true, Nan. It's unreasonable waste. I think I feel a kind of smell. It's a stink of rotten rice here. And how about this lot of donated items? There's no place to keep it now, and it's not required by the dwellers, you know. If we need to carry back and forth, then we'll waste both time and money. But these things are not perishable, so we can keep it in case of emergency, even though if dwellers don't need it, they could re-donate it anyway.
That's right, Cow. I feel so blessed now. All right, as I got all of your opinion, it seems because of a poorly managed operations. Let's find out the solution. I think instead of spending donated money on that packed food to give away, just change it another way by depositing the donated money to a local shop for those who has no money to buy some food for free whenever they get hungry.
That's a good idea. We'll make them feel full, and we're able to provide them with the right food they want and support the local shop in the same time.
For the unmatched requirements of those donated items, we'll provide some dropped areas to supply for it, then the dwellers could come and take it as their requirements.
Yes, we have heard of pun suit box. And what if somebody personally orders food or takes the donated items too much in big quantity at once? Things are going to be run out very fast and won't be thoroughly provided for people who come after. However, we just add the donated items per scheduled round, and the others also can join their donation with us when they'll keep an eye on each other for us. Moreover, our university has installed many of CCTV cameras, that's considered as another surveillance.
Okay, as I listened to you guys's opinion, I thought we found the solution now. In the matter of food arrangement, we just deposit the donated money to the local shop for whoever gets hungry with no money, they can order food for free. As to the donated items, just finding out the proper arranged corners where are observable by the installed CCTV before placing pun souk box at that proper location together with a sign board that informs them and ask for cooperation from the dwellers to order for food and to pick things up in an appropriate amount. Is this okay?
Okay. How is it, Nan? See, do you better understand the six hats now?
Six thinking hats or this six of thinking hats concept considered as a useful technique that will support our point of view to look into the problem systematically and consider every dimension before making a decision, as well as the advantage, disadvantage, facts, feeling, and to solve problems by creative idea, including accepting the different of others opinion.
Does it mean we need all six people together every time of thinking?
Not necessary at any number of people, but you need to think all the six sides.
Ah, that's right.
You all did the great job. Nan, is this the boss in the game?
What the boss are you talking about?
No, sir. Honestly, nothing. A moment ago, I heard what you talked and brainstormed for solutions, so I admire about what you've done. You deserve for being a KU student with totally full of IDKU.
What is IDKU?
A room for people in comas lying in beds.
That's awesome. Ah, yeah. Is it something on my mind to tell C?
What that enough new students? Hey, senior, introduce them. What's KU identity?
Cassette Sat University identity or IDKU consists of: I stands for Integrity, means a good conscience, as well as the way we supported the dwellers who are in trouble in a crisis. This considered as a good example of integrity. The second one is D, stands for Determination, or not to give up to do something easily. That means Cassette Sat students intend to do a good thing although we may face a hard time or problems while working on the project, but we never give up and still keep moving on for our achievement. Next one, K stands for Knowledge Creation, means to be creative for what we've creatively tried to find out a solution. That's the way. And the last one, U stands for Unity, means be united, same as the work that we pool our efforts for until we made a project successful.
IDKU also could be applied to other issues. For example, it's the most applicable to you for the studying that we need good conscious with responsibility of attending classes, submitting the assigned tasks on time, also studying with determination and never give it up during the hard time with great effort and equipped with creative ideas from the current ability which is capable of developing the new knowledge or useful innovation. Finally, with unity, it makes your study all working in a group in university go smoothly.
We understood. All right, so it's now very late evening. Let's go back home. Staying up too late makes your parents worried.
Yes. Well, teacher, may I have your name?
Me, I'm Boss.
Nan: Today, I'm so embarrassed. Oops, very tired. Yes, but I've learned a lot of things, and we also knew the meaning of knowledge of the land. It's about the integration of knowledge and sciences for the sustainable national development, to know the history and the development of our Cassette Sat University. Most of all, please do not forget what did our boss emphasize? Our uniqueness is Cassette Sat University's aim to create knowledge of the land for being well-being of the nation, and also IDKU: Integrity, Determination, Knowledge Creation, and Unity, our identity. Do not forget to practice singing IDKU song and dancing as well.
Sixth thinking hat skill also very interesting. We could apply it to many real issues, but there are so many things we want to know and need to find out more about.
Answer: What is that, Nan?
I used to read and find out that knowledge of the land based on those three kinds of knowledge and science, namely the King's Philosophy, Community Science, and Global Knowledge. However, we need to find out further information and more about their definitions.
Wow, where did you read that? You're so industrious. You've never read a book, and what's the page you are surfing there?
I'm practicing as six thinking hats now.
Is it logging in KU page for dating? Um, to have a date with someone needs considering all dimensions though.
