Visible thinking summary
Visible Thinking is a research concerning
children's thinking and learning, along with a sustained research and
development process in classrooms.
Visible thinking is a way that shows how the student
thinks, the word visible does not mean only something that can be seen, visible
thinking involves all senses, watching, listening, felling and so on.
Students usually memorize or just answer question in a
simple way, without giving importance, not even address in the topic even if
they have the abilities to do it.
Visible thinking help students to develop in a better
way, by make them participate in a more productive way for them. The qualities
expected to obtain are: Deeper understanding of content, Greater motivation for
learning, Development of learners' thinking and learning abilities, Development of learners'
attitudes toward thinking and learning and their alertness to opportunities for
thinking and learning (the "dispositional" side of thinking), A shift in classroom
culture toward a community of enthusiastically engaged thinkers and learners,
at the time to obtain all of these qualities the enriching classroom learning
is going to be visible.
Teachers and
students should challenge themselves to acquire this intellectual development
through a process in which is necessary to learn some routines that take us to
make it easier.
Leaving back the simplicity to enhance our thinking is
going to take some time; it is just required to know how to start with.
Some routines can be simple like asking to some questions
for example: Stephanie Martin created some questions that help students to
reflect on their own thinking
What is it like?, Function: How does it work?, Connection: How is
this like something I have seen before?
A teacher can show these questions to
students and also can apply other questions that let students get involved with
the topic.
These following routines are also helpful
·
What Makes You Say That? Interpretation with justification
routine
·
Think Puzzle Explore A routine that sets the stage for
deeper inquiry
·
Think Pair Share A routine for active reasoning and explanation
·
Circle of Viewpoints A routine for exploring diverse
perspectives
Ideals
are also important
When
there are not routines or a technical concept, teacher can begin with a
thinking ideal by evaluating the strategies that better fit with a topic and
asking to student about their understanding.
Set of thinking ideals that capture naturally
occurring goals, strivings, or interests that often propel our thinking.
In
this way classes are going to show a different face more interesting and
rich in knowledge.
