Edward de Bono
• Edward de Bono is regarded by many to be the leading authority in the world in the field of creative thinking and the direct teaching of thinking as a skill.
• “I am one of the very few people in history to have had a major impact on the way we think - rather than on what we think.” (modest)
• Oxford scholar with a background in Medicine and Psychology
Using the Six hats to solve the problem of facial adhesion.
De Bono Talks about Six Hat Thinking
The Red Hat
“What do I feel about this?”
Emotions blur thinking and clarity
Feelings, we bring prejudices, aethetics and anxiety to problems
Hunches, we have gut reactions to things
These need to be acknowledged when solving problems if we dont do this we try to disguise our feelings as LOGIC.
The Yellow Hat
“What are the good points here?”
What are the benefits?
Good Points
Benefits
Reasons that the idea will work
Likelihood
This is the sunshine hat looking for the positives
The Black Hat
What is wrong with this?
Checking for evidence
Checking for logic/feasibility
Checking for impact
Checking for fit
Checking for weakness
The Hat is there to help us making mistakes. it is there to point out dangers or difficulties.
There is a world of difference between looking at an idea to attack it and looking at an idea to improve it.
The White Hat
What information do we have?
What information do we need?
How do we get the information that we need?
gather data, seek information, use and select the information that you have in order to inform the problem solving process.
The Green hat
What Ideas do we have?
Let’s look at things from a different/zany angle.
Lets get creative.
Be alternative
Generate ideas
Green shoots of creativity. You can’t assess an idea until you have one.
The Blue Hat
What thinking has been done?
What is the next step?
What thinking is needed
Metacognition
Reviewing and summarising the thinking
Finding the next steps
Unlike the other hats, which are states of mind, this is a way of guiding the process to empower greater thinking.
Red hat to find out what we feel about this idea.
White to consider what information and facts we already
have or will need to know.
Yellow hat to think about the good points and give reasons.
Black hat to point out some of the problems we might need to
think about and why.
Green hat to see if we can think of some really wacky ideas!
Blue to think about all the thinking and
decide on the next steps.
Red hat to reflect on how we feel about our decision.
Thinking about the thinking
METACOGNITION
Mr Groark the head teacher has decided that from September 2010 St Benets school day will start at 10.30am rather than 9.00am.
We will use the 6 Hats to think carefully about this idea and decide whether it is a good idea or not.
Red hat to find out what we feel about this idea.
White to consider what information and facts we already
have or will need to know.
Yellow hat to think about the good points and give reasons.
Black hat to point out some of the problems we might need to
think about and why.
