that is underpinned by sound theories, with guidelines for the design and
implementation of a well thought-out thinking curriculum. This book
is written with a strong practical orientation, with classroom examples

There is no dearth of books on teaching thinking. Much has been written
that reflects the discussions, implications and applications of the current
emphasis on thinking. Taking the best of theory and practice from America,
Europe and Asia, the authors extend the discussions and applications to
educational contexts in Asia and beyond, where the thinking movement
has gained strong interest. Teaching Strategies that Promote Thinking is
