Teaching How To Think.

      Аннотация: Teaching how to think is both a science and an art! This book presents materials based on empirical research. At some point in time everyone pauses to think for a while. Oftentimes we procrastinate about providing a response because we wish to ‘give it a think’. We wish to make sense of what is happening around us. We wish to give our observations personal meaning and purpose. Since thinking seems to be at the very core or heart of our being, teaching how to think assumes prominence. Exactly what is involved in the process of thinking? How does thinking take place? What is the purpose of thinking? Can thinking allow us to make reliable predictions? Can thinking help us to accomplish our goals? Can thinking help us to make sensible plans for the future? When does thinking occur? What are the optimal conditions that facilitate thinking? What is the research telling us about thinking? How do we teach learners how to think? What kinds of strategies and techniques may we use to accomplish such a task? When is the best time to teach how to think? What skills do we need in order to teach how to think? These and many more questions are answered in this book.
