Introduction Thinking skills are the cognitive processes and abilities that are involved in processing information, making judgments, finding solutions to problems, and developing new ideas. Thinking skills are sometimes referred to as cognitive capacities. These skills provide individuals with the ability to analyse, evaluate, and synthesise information, which ultimately leads to more effective decision-making and critical thinking. There are 4 types of thinking skills. Which is Critical Thinking, Creative Thinking, Reflective Thinking and Lateral Thinking.
Importance Thinking Skills are important because it is vital for problemsolving. They allow people to think critically, organize data, spot trends, and create workable solutions to difficult issues. Critical thinking abilities lay the groundwork for developing novel and workable answers to problems encountered in school, work, and life. Other than that, thinking skills help in improving decision making. Because they allow individual to consider multiple perspectives, evaluate risks and benefits. Furthermore, it foster innovation and creativity because it encourage us to think outside the box.
Importance Besides that, thinking skills also help in dealing with changes in the environment because they foster the thought to think of alternative approaches to overcome challenges and unexpected circumstances. According to Hader (2005), Thinking critically will boost creativity and enhance the way you use and manage your time. Critical thinking not only describes the ability to think by the rules of logic and probability but also the ability to apply these skills to real-life problems, which are not content-independent.
Justification Helps to organize thoughts and information efficiently Easier to process and understand the information It is not new and widely known among students
Justification Effective in enhancing comprehension and learning Support cognitive processes Facilitate effective communication & collaboration
THINKING SKILL PRODUCT GRAPHIC ORGANIZER A graphic organizer is a visual tool or framework that helps individuals organize, structure, and represent information in a visual format. Using Graphic Organizer as a reading or learning strategy in the prereading stage was more beneficial to the learners. (Barron & Schwartz, 1984).
Conclusion I have chosen to do a graphic organizer as my product because it is easy to put and organize information in it. It is also very simple to understand and connect how the information works. The content on my graphic organizer is thinking skills. The reason why I chose thinking skills is because it is a crucial part of our life. Without thinking skills, we are unable to think of a solution to a problem. Besides that, learning types of thinking skills allows us to think about what type of thinking we have done all this time. Learning thinking skills also encourage us to think about new stuff and also help generates lots of ideas
