Edward de Bono was born 19 May 1933, in Malta. He is a physician, author, inventor, and consultant and is best known as the originator of the term lateral thinking.
Lateral Thinking:
Lateral thinking as mentioned in the book Six thinking hats and is concerned with the movement value of statements and ideas rather than critical thinking which is concerned with judging the true value of statements and seeking errors.
Lateral thinking would be used when a student wants to move from one known idea to creating new ideas.
Edward de Bono defines four types of thinking tools:
- Idea generating tools that are designed to break current thinking patterns, routines etc
- Focus tools that are designed to broaden where to search for new ideas
- Harvest tools that are designed to ensure more value is received from idea generating output
- Treatment tools that are designed to consider real-world constraints, resources, and support
How the theory can be used in the teaching of the TAS stage 5 specialization:
