Frameworks for Thinking: A Handbook for Teaching and Learning

This handbook focuses on the thinking processes necessary for learning by providing descriptions and evaluations of 42 major frameworks--including Bloom's taxonomy, de Bono's lateral and parallel thinking tools, Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and Paul's model of critical thinking. Unique in its comprehensive coverage and interdisciplinary approach, it offers easy-to-grasp summary tables for each major theorist for speedy reference. A valuable tool for students needing to understand different ways of thinking, it will also be an essential resource for teachers, curriculum developers, researchers and policy-makers.
