Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The fundamental premise of Thinkbackbased on overwhelming scientific evidenceis that intelligence is not fixed at birth and that, with consistent effort, we can dramatically improve our capacities. It counters the claims of some psychologists that it is impossible to increase intelligence because that ability is determined at birth.Thinkback builds on the Think Aloud strategies in Arthur Whimbey and Jack Lochhead's popular and widely used volume, Problem Solving & Comprehension, now in its sixth edition. Since its publication, thousands of students have used these techniques for improving thinking and analytic reasoning to increase test scores, win National MeritScholarships, and gain admission to topranked professional schools. Now, Thinkback shows how these powerful strategies can be applied to a range of important academic areas including mathematics, language arts, social studies, and science.Thinkback is a tool for student empowermenta strategy they can use to improve both their ability to think and their ability to learn. The Thinkback classroom, on the other hand, is a design for teacher liberationenabling them to see learning more clearly than they ever could before.This is the only book currently available that contains detailed models of metacognitive dialogues in the classroom. These dialogues enable teachers and teacher educators to observe thinking processes that have previously been invisible and undetectable. Based on over 20 years of careful cognitive research, the dialogues provide teachers with important insights into the nature of thinking and problem solving. Thinkback is a picture window on the working mind.This book:*Describes the Thinkback strategy for making thinking strategies explicit, easy to teach, and easy to learn.*Includes numerous detailed examples that demonstrate the Thinkback technique. Six quite different learning strategiesderived from the work of David Perkins, Barry Beyer, Arthur Whimbey, Joseph Novak, John R. Hayes, and Lev Landaare presented to illustrate the range of contexts in which Thinkback can be used.*Spans the wide gap between unstructured constructiviststyle instruction and lockstep memorization drills. The Thinkback technique can convert a teachercentered rote memory lesson into an intellectually challenging studentcentered exploration, while at the same time maintaining specific content mastery objectives. Or it can be used to add subtle structure to an openended creative exercise, allowing students of all levels to benefit and insuring that no one is left floundering.Thinkback is an important new resource for teachers and students in high schools, community colleges, and introductory college programs; industrial trainers; home schoolers; parents; and anyone else who would like to see learners become more intelligent and are willing to work to see that they do.
