RT @DTWillingham: This article offers a taxonomy of methods of #teaching #thinking that I found useful.
“Abstract
The article follows the conceptual path made by the teaching thinking movement. It emerged as a reaction to the explosion, obsolescence, availability, and relativity of knowledge, as a call to teach thinking instead of knowledge, and returned to knowledge in the form of the third approach to teaching thinking — teaching for understanding. Understanding knowledge is the essential, perhaps even sufficient, condition for good — effective, critical and creative — thinking.
Key words: Thinking skills, thinking dispositions, understanding, understanding performances, mindware, educational environment fostering thinking”
