Opis

The Routledge International Handbook of Research on Teaching Thinking provides a comprehensive guide to the current state of the art in research on teaching thinking. Across the world education for thinking is seen as the key to thriving in the Internet Age. The OECD suggest teaching thinking as key to growing a more successful economy, others claim it is needed for increased democratic engagement and for the well-being of individuals faced with the complexity of a globalised world. However there are questions about what we mean by ‘thinking’, how best to teach it and how best to access it. This book contains surveys and summaries of cutting edge research on every aspect of research on teaching thinking in a range of contexts. It is an essential guide for policy-makers, teachers and researchers who are interested in teaching thinking.
