"Learning is a consequence of thinking, not something extra we tack on for good measure but something in which we must actively engage to promote our own and other's learning." |
Education researchers, policy makers and private enterprise all agree that, in addition to content knowledge, students in the 21st Century need to acquire particular skills to equip them for a modern world, one of which is the ability to think - and think well.
The Australian Curriculum, including the adapted NSW Syllabus, recognises the importance of the development of these skills through the general capabilities that are developed across the whole curriculum. These curriculum's are detailed and articulate clearly the critical and creative thinking skills that a child needs to develop as they progress through school. How and where these skills are taught remains the decision of the school (ACER Teacher Magazine, 2015). |
