Why teach for thinking?
‘If thinking is how we make sense of experience then helping our children
to become better thinkers will help them to get more out of learning
and more out of life.’
Fisher, R. (2008) Teaching Thinking Continuum

What are thinking skills?
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence is not an act, but a habit’ (Aristotle)
A thinking skill is:
• a mental process learnt through practice
• how we apply intelligence to a problem
• our capacity to make judgements
What is good thinking?

Dimensions of thinking
These dimensions of thinking at literal, strategic, and conceptual levels :
•information processing•critical thinking •creative thinking •comparative (evaluative) thinking
through self-reflection, dialogue and writing, characterise research.

What is higher order thinking?
• Intellectually challenging, requires effort
• Complex and multi-variable
• Open, uncertain, not routine or algorithmic
• Seeks meaning, conceptual understanding
• Evaluative, involving criteria for judgement
• Metacognitive, involves self-regulationRobert Fisher

Models of dialogue
• Speaking and listening – engaging in talk
• Discussion groups – sharing views, ideas
• Community of Enquiry – seeking understanding via questioning, explaining, hypothesising, reasoning, and evaluation of concepts and claims to truth and knowledge
- within a self-regulating democratic setting.

Teachers and students as researchers
Thinking teachers and students enhance teaching and learning by research through:
•questioning, problem posing •studying multiple sources of information •applying higher order thinking•extending thinking through dialogue •reviewing processes and outcomes
How do we build research into the curriculum?
