The Process of Thinking

While reading…

This process is known as the monitoring and assessing of the thinking while processing the thinking of others!

This process of reading while the mind also monitors itself on how it is reading is a skill that has to be developed intentionally. 

 

Slide 2

This skill of reading & thinking is the antidote of the enemy of learning.

This skill develops and improves as long as the reader uses and relates knowledge and meaning to the reading.

In practice:

1.If the reading is difficult for the student to understand, then:
•The student has to slow down and paraphrase each sentence.
•The student must put the meaning of each sentence into his/her own words.
•

2. If the student realizes that he/she is unsympathetic to an author’s viewpoint, then:
• The student must suspend judgment about the text’s meaning until he/she has verified that there is no agreement to what the author is saying.


Slide 3

While reading, the mental process is active,
is taking command of knowledge and meanings
to formulate:

•purposes and goals
•questions, problems, and issues
•information and data
•concepts, theories, and ideas
•interpretations and conclusions
•assumptions
•implications and consequences
•points of view
