Teaching for Thinking Today
註釋These are turbulent times. We live in a climate of vigorous testing and memorisation, so how can we both engage and challenge our children to learn and become thinking citizens in our society? In her invaluable new book, Selma Wassermann takes a step forward from Louis Raths¿s seminal work and gives us some truly helpful answers to this modern dilemma. Using new data from her extensive fieldwork, Wassermann provides a wealth of innovative classroom strategies that will enable and empower students to grasp the big ideas across virtually all curriculum areas and apply this knowledge to problem solving. Using a teacher-friendly style, this practical book: provides the theoretical framework, tools and teaching strategies to implement teaching-for-thinking programs in P-8 classrooms. offers applications for classroom implementation in the key curriculum areas of science, maths, English, social studies, computer studies, art and music; and demonstrates how the standard classroom curriculum can be tweaked to emphasise higher-order cognitive skills.
