Try asking your students -
What is thinking?
When you are thinking, what is going on in your
head?
Students don’t have much knowledge of what facilitates their thinking.
They
are unaware how to think correctly and what are its advantages.
Do you as an educator wonder whether the students are thinking in the correct
direction and which are the areas they have not completely understood?
Are
the students aware of the thinking of the teachers –
what is it they are
trying to convey and why?
There is a great need to make thinking
– both our own as educators as well as that of the students – visible.
Teachers must also have a window into that thinking:
-what do students
understand and how are they understanding it?
This is what
“making thinking visible” means.
It is only once they
have this information that teachers can help students move to the next level in
their thinking.
