1.What does it mean when someone knows how to think?
When someone knows how to think they are able to process information in a way that makes sense to them. The thinker is able to consider the context of the thought in terms of what they know, their past experiences and the potential for new experiences because of those thoughts. Thinking is a process of considering facts and ideas. It is a critical part of learning because it allows the thinker to compartmentalize ideas into their brains.
2.How does a teacher teach a student how to think?
A teacher can help a student to think by asking divergent, open ended questions which do not direct the students thought process, but encourages exploration of ideas and concepts.
3.Have you ever been in a class where you really had to think?
In grade school, I was in the TAG program, so everything we did in that class encouraged independent thinking. The idea was to let us explore ideas with the freedom to take tangents and form our own conclusions about ideas.
