"Teaching is an art". Rajeev Ranjan
Thinking is an individual act, however completely dependent on surroundings, right from parents, family, society, peers, state, nation, altitude , latitude and academia.
Thinking is an act. It is a process to become individual. Its integrity develops an individual into a fine human being. Journey of thinking process starts right from beginning of life to the last breath taken by a human being. In fact, it makes us different from other existed creatures.
Thinking is an act of learning. Thinking can also be processed and developed. It is nurtured. Individual grows in each and every moment of his life. Every single passed moment in an individual’s life is source of learning for him, which shows the light for leading the next moment of life.

Thinking process is on its way to reach
an unidentifiable destination. Let first
check our destination, plan to reach the
destination and organize our thought to
make it concrete and within our reach
so that we should work properly.

Academia can be the key factors. Education brings a
massive change and shapes an individual to become a fine
human being. It opens the wings to be an independent
individual. Education helps individual to reach a new
height to see the world’s real life experiences. Individual
weaves a new sphere to become more practical, more
skilled professional, more compassionate and integrated
personality. (Note- a number of intellectuals never attended academic institution but they
gave a new direction to society).

What is the thinking skills?
Thinking skills are the mental processes that we
apply when we seek to make sense of
experience. Thinking skills enable us to integrate
each new experience into the schema that we are
constructing of "how things are".

What is thinking ability?
1. Ability to think clearly and rationally about
what to do or what to believe.
2. Ability to engage in reflective and
independent thinking.
3. Ability to understand the logical connections

21. What are lower order thinking skills?
Lower order thinking is the foundation of skills
required to move into higher order thinking. These
are skills that are taught very well in school
systems and includes activities like reading and
writing. In lower order thinking information does
not need to be applied to any real life examples, it
only needs to be recalled and slightly understood.
If a person only obtains lower order thinking skills
they will not be prepared for real life situations
such as the labour market.

the product of mental activity ("Mathematics is a large body of thought.")
the act or process of thinking ("I was frazzled from too much thought.")
the capacity to think, reason, imagine, etcetera ("All her thought was applied
to her work.")
the consideration of or reflection on an idea ("The thought of death terrifies

Effect of Learning Environment
So learning environment should be able to satisfy the
brain’s enormous curiosity and hunger for novelty,
discovery and challenge because thirst for search of
meaning of a human being can not be stopped, only
channelled and focused.
31. 31
Language is essential to express our thoughts.
Thinking is lifeless without language.
Language is means to express in forms of Verbal &
Written. We organize our thought in a language form.
The more we rich in language, the more we able to
express, explore and analyze our thoughts in a well
formed and in a systematic way.
32. 32
Critical thinking
Barahal (2008), who defines critical thinking as "artful thinking.
CT is “skillful, responsible thinking that facilitates good judgment because it 1)
relies upon criteria, 2) is self-correcting, and 3) is sensitive to context” (Lipman,
1988, p. 39);
CT is “purposeful, self-regulatory judgment which results in interpretation,
analysis, evaluation, and inference, as well as explanation of the evidential,
conceptual, methodological, criteriological, or conceptual considerations upon
which that judgment is based” (Facione, 1990, p. 3);
Critical Thinking is a process when we scrutinize the situation, identify the thing
and situation and then react to the situation towards reaching a goal. It helps us
to deepen our observation to the micro level where we weigh the situation to
atom level. Credit goes to the Neo-Marxist Frankfurt School, which originated
around 1930 and proposed a new learning approach “Critical Theory”. It is
basically a sociological and philosophical approach of thinking.
33. 33
Critical thinking
Critical thinking is at the core of most intellectual activity
that involves students learning to recognise or develop an
argument, use evidence in support of that argument, draw
reasoned conclusions, and use information to solve
problems. Examples of critical thinking skills are
interpreting, analysing, evaluating, explaining, sequencing,
reasoning, comparing, questioning, inferring, hypothesising,
appraising, testing and generalising.
http://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/generalcapabilities/critical-and-creative-thinking
34. 34
Creative thinking
A way of looking at problems or situations from a fresh perspective that
suggests unorthodox solutions (which may look unsettling at first).
Creative thinking can be stimulated both by an unstructured process such
as brainstorming, and by a structured process such as lateral thinking.
Creative thinking involves students learning to generate and apply new
ideas in specific contexts, seeing existing situations in a new way,
identifying alternative explanations, and seeing or making new links that
generate a positive outcome.
Ex.- Thinking up ways to increase the number of blood donors,
http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/creative-thinking.html
http://www.brainstorming.co.uk/tutorials/creativethinking.html
Creative thinking is the process which we use when we come up with a new idea.
This creative thinking process can be accidental or deliberate.
http://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/generalcapabilities/critical-and-creative-thinking
35. 35
Creative thinking
Creative Thinking is a novel way of seeing or doing things that is
characteristic of four components-fluency (generating new ideas),
flexibility (shifting perspective easily), originality (conceiving of
something new), and elaboration (building on others' ideas). (NCERT, Life
Skills VII, P23)
“Creative thinking is a kind of thinking that focuses on exploring ideas,
generating possibilities, looking for many right answers rather than just
one. The creative person knows that there is always room for improvement.”
(Robert Harris)
36. 36
Lateral thinking:- The term was coined by the Maltese-born
UK psychologist Dr. Edward de Bono in his 1970 book 'Lateral
Thinking.‘
Noun-the solving of problems by an indirect and creative
approach, typically through viewing the problem in a new and
unusual light
1. An effective way to learn how to think in order to
systematically generate new ideas.
2. Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and
creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately
obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by
using only traditional step-by-step logic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_thinking
37. 37
Convergent thinking :-the ability to use
logical and evaluative thinking
Divergent thinking :- ability to elaborate,
other options , alternate
Objective:-Well thought and well formed
decisions
Convergent thinking is a term coined by
Joy Paul Guilford as the opposite of
divergent thinking. It generally means
the ability to give the "correct" answer to
standard questions that do not require
significant creativity, for instance in
most tasks in school and on standardized
multiple-choice tests for intelligence.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_thinking
Problem solving technique in which ideas from
different fields or participants are brought together
(synthesized) to find a single optimum solution to a
clearly defined problem.
http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/convergent-
thinking.html
Qs- Should we try this?
Objective:- Possibilities, Generate new
and different ideas, correlate
The psychologist J.P. Guilford first coined
the terms convergent thinking and
divergent thinking in 1956.
Divergent thinking is a thought process
or method used to generate creative
ideas by exploring many possible
solutions. ... By contrast, divergent
thinking typically occurs in a
spontaneous, free-flowing, 'non-linear'
manner, such that many ideas are
generated in an emergent cognitive
fashion.
38. 38
Conceptual thinking Implementation thinking
Conceptual thinking consists of the
ability to find connections or patterns
between abstract ideas and then piece
them together to form a complete
picture.
Conceptual thinking is the ability to
understand a situation or problem by
identifying patterns or connections, and
addressing key underlying issues.
Conceptual thinking includes the
integration of issues and factors into an
conceptual framework.
psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Conceptual_thinking
Implementation thinking is the ability to
organize ideas and plans in a way that
they will be effectively carried out.
Conceptual thinking is the ability to
identify patterns or connections between
seemingly unrelated objects. For some,
conceptual thinking is a natural process
but not everyone can think in this way.
https://www.reference.com/world-view/thinking
39. 39
Holistic thinking Dualistic thinking
The term "holistic thinking" refers to a
big picture mentality in which a person
recognizes the interconnectedness of
various elements that form larger
systems, patterns and objects. Thinking
holistically is the opposite of analyzing
something, which involves breaking
down a larger system into its details.
https://www.reference.com/world-view
In this way, we focus on what benefits our
project most at any given moment — rather
than on categorically ruling out options.
Instead of asking, “Should I write fiction or
non-fiction?” Maisel suggests you might ask,
“What shall I write today?” Instead of,
“Should I do research or should I write
today?” you might ask, “What does the book
need today?” http://reptitude.com/
Dualistic thinking, according to William
Perry's model of intellectual
development, is the intellectual ability
to understand good and evil but not the
nuances in between. He believed it was
the base level of intellectual
development that most college
freshmen possessed.
https://www.reference.com/world-view/thinking
Dualistic Thinking is an Excuse
Dualistic thinking arbitrarily imposes limits on
what we will consider doing, or not doing. We
rule out options based on this kind of stark,
exclusionary, yes-no thinking.
“Oh, I can’t do that, it’s too ——!”
“Oh, I don’t work like that, it’s too ——–!”

and-holistic-thinking/

Systems thinking Relativistic Thinking
Systemic Thinking (known, in non-
academic circles, as Pattern Thinking) is
a simple technique for making sense of
challenging situations and developing
simple interventions for transforming
them.
Systems thinking is the cognitive ability
to study and understand systems of
many kinds, integrating information
from different sources and different
types.
Systemic Thinking enables people to
deliberately and systematically gain
significantly deeper insights into
challenging situations
Systems thinking has been defined as an ap
proach to problem solving.
http://systemicthinking.com/
No absolute truth or validity
All points of view are equally valid, and
that all truth is relative to the individual.
Relativism is the belief that there's no
absolute truth, only the truths that a
particular individual or culture happen to
believe. If you believe in relativism, then
you think different people can have
different views about what's moral and
immoral.
Example:-"That is your truth, not mine;"
"It is true for you, but not for me;" and
"There are no absolute truths.“

41. 41
Dialectical thinking
The art or practice of arriving at the truth by the exchange of
logical arguments.
(Philosophy) disputation or debate, esp intended to resolve
differences between two views rather than to establish
one of them as true.
Thinking of passivity and aggression, considering
impulsivity and withdrawal, looking at love and hate as well
as reviewing different answers to morality
questions. Dialectical thinking is when a person examines or
holds two polar opposite thoughts.

Innovative thinking Intuitive thinking
Innovative thinking involves
generating new ideas or new ways
of approaching things to create
possibilities and opportunities.
"Innovation starts with a question,"
Gregersen says. "Are you asking
enough questions of the right
kind?“
Intuition is the ability to acquire
knowledge without proof, evidence,
or conscious reasoning, or without
understanding how the knowledge
was acquired. Intuitive Thinking
learner values:
Experiencing competence (in self
and others).
Inventing tools.
Finding patterns.
Being able to know, control, predict,
and explain.

Logical thinking Parallel thinking
Thinking that is coherent and logical
Logical thinking – the process of
progressing a thought process in a
linear way. It is probably the dominant
thinking process in western society –
and many others too.
Logical thinkers observe and analyze
phenomenon, reactions and feedback,
and draw conclusions based on that
input.
They can justify their strategies, actions
and decisions based on the facts they
gather.
e.g. A sales representative modifies a
presentation of a product to emphasize
its user-friendly qualities
https://www.thebalance.com/logical-thinking-definition-with-examples-2059690
Parallel thinking – this is the process of
avoiding group conflict by all adopting
the samThe best known example of
parallel thinking is
De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats.e m
Parallel thinking is defined as
a thinking process where focus is split
in specific directions. When done in a
group it effectively avoids the
consequences of the adversarial
approach (as used in courts). In
adversarial debate, the objective is to
prove or disprove statements put
forward by the parties (normally
two).ode of thinking at the same time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_thinking
44. 44
Structured thinking Strategic thinking
Structured thinking – another way of
describing critical thinking; using
templates and models to think
exhaustively about something.
Structured thinking is a process of
putting a framework to an unstructured
problem. Having a structure not only
helps an analyst understand the
problem at a macro level, it also helps
by identifying areas which require
deeper understanding.
https://www.analyticsvidhya.com › Business Analytics
Strategic thinking is defined as a mental
or thinking process applied by an
individual in the context of achieving
success in a game or other endeavor. As
a cognitive activity, it produces thought.
Strategic thinking is a process that
defines the manner in which people
think about, assess, view, and create the
future for themselves and
others. Strategic thinking is an
extremely effective and valuable tool.
One can apply strategic thinking to
arrive at decisions that can be related to
your work or personal life.

Positive thinking Associative thinking
Positive thinking – although often
referred to as an attitude rather than a
distinct thinking process,
Positive thinking is a mental and
emotional attitude that focuses on the
bright side of life and expects
positive results. A positive person
anticipates happiness, health and success,
and believes he or she can overcome any
obstacle and difficulty.
a. “See the positive side, the potential,
and make an effort.” ~Dalai Lama
b. If the winter comes
Can spring be far behind! (PBS)
www.successconsciousness.com
Associative thinking – the process of
linking one thought or idea to another.
The essence of creativity lies in
associative thinking. Edward Burnett Tylor
coined the term "associative thinking",
characterizing it as pre-logical in which the
"magician's folly" is in mistaking an
imagined connection with a real one.
Associational thinking — drawing
connections among questions, problems or
ideas from unrelated fields — is triggered
by questioning, observing, networking and
experimenting and is the catalyst for
creative ideas. (Erica Swallow)

47. 47
Radiant thinking Magical thinking
Radiant Thinking is the underlying theory
and philosophy behind Mind Mapping.
Buzan (2003). This is a specific form of
associative thinking where the thinking
radiates out from a central idea. Radiant
thinking usually begins with the central
concept or problem at the center, and
various ideas and solutions radiating out
from that point. Each new point becomes
the center of its own radiant thoughts,
eventually generating branch after branch
of diverse thought. One advantage to
radiant thinking is that it can incorporate
all thoughts--even those that do not directly
relate to the central problem.(Sahar Samy)
Magical thinking (fundamentally
irrational) is a term used in anthropology
and psychology, denoting the
fallacious attribution of causal relationships
between actions and events, with subtle
differences in meaning between the For
example: "I got up on the left side of the bed
today; therefore it will rain." two fields. (
www.psychologytoday.com)
48. 48
Cognition means the process by which knowledge and
understanding is developed in the mind. Oxford Dictionary
defines ‘Cognitive’ that is connected with mental process of
understanding. Humans generate knowledge and meaning
through sequential development of an individual’s thinking
abilities i.e. mental processes of recognition, recollection,
analysis, application, creation, understanding, and evaluation.
It focuses on internal states of human mind like motivation,
problem solving, decision -making and attention.
The learner requires assistance to develop prior
knowledge and integrate new knowledge.

Give him Time
We should respect the dignity and integrity of individual. We
should nurture his nature to come out from within. If we ask
something, we should give him time to come out with several
relevant points.

Trust him
Elders/Seniors’ faiths make individual’s self esteem strong. I
hope, we will not loss anything if we listen someone’s idea. It
is in our hand to accept those points, use some of good points,
modify them, and indeed, reject those points in a mild way.
