questioning

Thinking I strongly believe that thinking should be taught more explicitly as it give student more understanding into the topic they are learning about.Development of interest, ideas and knowledge is increased because, there is much more emphasis on the thinking aspect of the topic at hand. Another aspect is that students become more creative in their thoughts as it is expanded.A comfortable, safe and inviting environment will also greatly improve the thinking of students, for this reason , it is important for teachers to teach thinking in the classroom.Mosses et al (2004,p.87) states that ," to be more specific metacognition is when you are aware of ,evaluate and regulate your own thinking.Metacognition is promoted as crucial for learning but it involves active self- assessment, decision making and personal goal setting".
