TESTIMONY FOR GILL

Greetings to me, Kiptiyah Guru from SMAN 1 Manyar. For me Prof. Gill is a mentor who is

very friendly and intelligent and polite, from him I learned a valuable lesson when I attended the

HOTS Learning training at Monash University in 2019. Favorite material that really impressed

me, when we were invited to think about thinking. Gill presents an image of a statue called The

Thinker (1880 and 1904) which has a deep meaning:

• Oversized: think of something small seriously, then one day it will become something bigger

and much bigger.

• Strong:. in thinking, we must be 'strong'. We must understand why we chose that choice. must

be able to maintain thinking in accordance with academic rules.

• Twisted: think 'out of the box'. Think from a different point of view.

The conclusion of The Thinker is to think with the whole body, not just with the brain. This

concept inspired me to facilitate and motivate students in learning activities in the classroom and

in life. Thank you Gill, the knowledge is very valuable for me to share with my friends, teachers

and students at school.
