Habits of Mind

Chrisがプレゼンの準備をしていて、そのときに、「Habits of Mindって知ってる？」と訊かれた。「ううん、知らない」と答えると、見せてくれた。これはなかなかおもしろそうだ。カリフォルニア州立大学の名誉教授、Arthur L. Costaが整理したことで、次のような内容で構成されています。

1. Persisting - Do stick to it.
2. Communicating with clarity and precision - Be clear.
3. Managing impulsivity - Take your time.
4. Gathering data through all senses - Use your natural pathways.
5. Listening with understanding and empathy - Understand others.
6. creating, imaging, innovating - Try a different way.
7. Thinking flexibly - Look at it another way.
8. Responding with wonderment and awe - Have fun figuring it out.
9. Thinking about your thinking (metacognition) - Know your knowing.
10. Taking responsible risks - Venture out.
11. Striving for accuracy and precision - Find the best possible solution.
12. Finding humour - Laugh a little.
13. Questioning and problem posing - How do you know.
14. Thinking interdependently - Learning with others.
15. Applying past knowledge to new situations - Use what you learn.
16. Remaining open to continuous learning - Learn from experiences.
These are the things we do when we are dealing with something that is of big consequence or a stressor.

うーん、教育学をきちんと学んでいない僕は、こういうのは自力で勉強しないといかんよなあ、ほんと。刺激的で、けっこう飲んでいるはずなのに眠れない…。刺激を受けすぎて、頭の中がグルングルンしている感じ。
