It's time to release Episode 6 of THE THINKING EFFECT PODCAST!
You often hear the statement that someone 'can't see the forest for the trees'. Sometimes students get so close to the details that they can't see the bigger picture. When students learn something without a sense of the bigger picture, the information is like an object floating around in space. It is what Professor Reuven Feuerstein, the late cognitive psychologist who was an expert in thinking and cognition, called 'an episodic grasp of reality. Understanding how things are connected makes it much easier to put things in context, understand them and remember them.
In our latest podcast: The Thinking Effect #6, Ortal Green and I discuss how to support students to see the forest and the trees!
In our short episodes, we offer teachers bite-sized ways to enhance students' thinking. We give teachers practical examples to illustrate the topic and we sum up the what, why and how specific kinds of thinking are important.
Listen to the podcasts to learn more about how to ensure students get both a wide and deep understanding of topics.
