Effect of Cort Programme on Critical Thinking

The purpose of thinking is to collect information and to make the best possible use of it. The fascination with thinking, how and why people think, how we can teach thinking, has been evident for centuries. According to Edward De Bono "Thinking is a skill; it can be developed and improved if one knows how". The various programmes designed to teach thinking and the professional concerns expressed in journals and books highlight the issues in the application of theory. This book is the result of a research conducted to find the effect of CoRT programme on Critical thinking. CoRT programme is designed by Edward De Bono which consists of sixty different tools for development of thinking. Along with the other general information on thinking, the book provides both quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data. Hope, this book is useful in bridging the gap between theory and practice on "how to teach thinking skills".
