Teaching Thinking - Edward de Bono

Edward de Bono presents a practical approach to teaching thinking as a distinct skill, rather than treating it simply as logical argument or the ability to analyse information. He argues that students should learn to explore different possibilities, generate alternatives and consider problems from multiple perspectives. The book outlines a programme for incorporating thinking skills into school education, designed for students of different ages and abilities. It reflects de Bono’s broader work on creative and lateral thinking, with an emphasis on making thinking an explicit part of learning.
