What are thinking skills?

Thinking skills are the mental processes that we apply when we seek
to make sense of experience.

Thinking skills enable us to combine each new experience into the

schema that we are constructing of how things are.

Better thinking will help us learn more from our experience.

Better thinking will equip us for life, enable us to realize our own
potential and contribute to the development of society.
