CoRT Thinking Skills (İEdward de Bono)
Edward DeBono has developed a wide range of resources to help with the development of thinking skills in students. The resources and approaches have been developed through CoRT (Cognitive Research Trust).
Some of the skills developed through the CoRT programme include the following:
- PMI - thinking of the pluses, minuses and interesting points of ideas, suggestions, proposals
- Thinking of the consequences of short, medium, long term actions
- Prioritizing eg. relevant factors, objectives, consequences
- Decision making
- Seeing other points of view
- Recognising evidence that is weak, strong or key
- Challenging existing ways of doing things
- Solving problems by thinking about problem requirements
