The use of Edward De Bono's Six Thinking Hats is a good process for learners to explore various aspects of an individual concept. Although this wiki is the first time I have experienced the 6 thinking hats as a group activity, I have found the process to be the same, with the added benefit of seeing other learners oppinions at the same time. This is good as it allows the teacher, and myself, to see individual and group developments and issues. I was able to identify areas which I was already familiar with, providing me with a sense of clarification, while also presenting alternative conceptions to my understandings. There are also other methods useful for this process. For example, the K.W.L. chart allows for students and teachers to demonstrate and view a particular concept in various ways through highlighting "what i know about the concept", "what i want to know about the concept" and "what i have learnt about the concept" (relating to prior knowledge, other concepts, and big picture). The P.M.I. chart is also a tool which assists with learners and teachers identifying developments and alternative conceptions.
These concepts were also explored in another blog posting: Week 1 and 2 activities
