"Thinking."regarding

It's a pain in the ass..."

I'm not the type..."

and learning situations at school and at home."Negative words."Have you ever heard from your children the

If,Yes, there is.and if you have any experience,This is especially true when learning subjects such as arithmetic and mathematics, which have a strong image of being difficult for children.Maybe.

Why do children have negative feelings about thinking?

It is simple,Because they didn't learn how to "think" at school or at home.Isn't it?

The way children have experienced and learned to think and learn,Most of the time, students simply memorize the formulas they are taught, or the teacher solves the problems and the students transcribe them.

Certainly, the act of acquiring new knowledge and taking notes in a notebook is a satisfying way to learn.

However,I can't say I'm really "thinking" about it.Isn't it?

in other words"I'm not learning to think for myself."That is to say.

But if you hear that you can turn these into proactive and exciting learning experiences,You will be transformed into a child who loves to think and acts independently and spontaneously.

such (about the actions of the listener, or about ideas expressed or understood by the listener)It is a chance to "love to think".Thinking Classrooms.It is.

What are Thinking Classrooms?

It is an educational theory proposed by Canadian professor Peter Liljedahl, Ph,The objective is not merely to solve problems, but to communicate with other students in group work to understand the problems and think more deeply about them.The following is a summary of the results.

By this approach,Through collaborative learning, not just the ability to solve textbook problems,The ability to find answers that everyone can agree on and the ability to construct one's own ideas logically.It will be like this.

However, thisOnly one educator in Japan who can practice "classroom without answersThere is only one. One of them is Mr. Umeki Takuya, who will be our special lecturer this time.
