Publisher's Synopsis
"In Thinking About Thinking in IB Schools: How We Know What We Know, Robin J. Fogarty and Brian M. Pete use the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and the rigorous curriculum of International Baccalaureate (IB) schools as a framework for exploring the metacognitive skills and behaviors teachers must nurture in 21st century learners. Fogarty and Pete explain that, in order to address the driving question of TOK-"How do we know what we know?"-students must be skilled communicators, mindfully reflective, and caring of others, and possess other attributes of the well-rounded learner. In order for teachers to help students develop these qualities and enhance their learning, Fogarty and Pete structure the book around seven think links, or attributes and associated behaviors, that lead to critical, creative thinkers and problem solvers"--.
