It provides descriptions and evaluations of 42 major frameworks including Bloom¿s taxonomy, de Bono¿s lateral and parallel thinking tools, Gardner¿s theory of multiple intelligences and Paul¿s model of critical thinking. Unique in its comprehensive coverage and interdisciplinary approach, it offers easy-to-grasp summary tables for each major theorist for speedy reference. The discussion of cognitive, emotional and social aspects of thinking and the nature of classification help the reader locate theories within a broader field of knowledge. Key concepts such as critical thinking, self-regulation and metacognition are examined from a range of perspectives. The handbook offers practical advice in the form of choices and recommendations for the use of frameworks in teaching, learning and assessment.
