Description

Encourage students to reflect on the processes of thinking, as well as practising thinking skills. Thinking Skills encourages students to reflect on the processes of thinking, as well as developing and practising thinking skills. It is divided into two sections: Critical thinking and Problem solving. As well as giving students a thorough grounding in these areas, the authors provide opportunities for students to analyse and evaluate arguments, analyse numerical and graphical information and develop a range of skills.
