Aiming to help teachers and pupils think, this book presents ideas for ‘externalizing’ of the process of thought so learners can understand them better and practice improving their thinking and learning.
Six key principles characterize the authors’ approach to learning; that retaining knowledge is a consequence of thinking; good thinking is not only a matter of skill, but also of disposition; the development of thinking is a social endeavour; fostering thinking requires making thinking visible; classroom culture should set the tone for learning and shape what is learned; schools must be cultures of thinking for teachers.
The authors present ideas and strategies that support the development of a positive, engaged learning culture in the classroom, with techniques that will help pupils to speak, write, and draw their learning.
