5 Ideas for Developing Real-World Thinking Skills
Silver, Harvey F.; Boutz, Abigail L.; McTighe, Jay
Educational Leadership, v79 n8 p38-42 May 2022
Infusing five processes into assignments can help students hone the skills they'll need to address complex problems. The world students will enter is full of complex, unpredictable problems--and students will need sophisticated thinking skills to cope. The authors unpack five thinking processes students need to internalize through opportunities in school to practice and apply them: Inquiry, Design, Evaluation, Argumentation, and Systems Thinking. Silver, McTighe, and Boutz present sample assignments embodying each thinking skill, and show ways to infuse these skills into any discipline or grade level.
