Identify the key ideas or issues within a lesson
or text
Sequence what they have learned into a logical
order for improved understanding
Expose and check the validity of assumptions
Identify inconsistencies in
logic
Clarify problems and create their own thoughtful
arguments and solutions
Set their own goals and develop a logical plan
for achieving them
Resolve conflicts
Know how to predict the consequence of their
own actions and therefore see why they should control
any negative behaviour
The immediate result is that students
participate more enthusiastically, and see how to
transfer logical thinking skills from the classroom
to solve personal issues.
These are lifetime skills that will
directly improve student attainment and behaviour.
