This is a past event
Short Course
The course provides professional development in facilitating group discussion on philosophical topics (Philosophical Inquiry) as a method for developing pupil skills at the core of the Curriculum for Excellence. These include applying critical thinking in new contexts, thinking creatively to solve problems, understanding different beliefs and learning to participate responsibly in a community of inquiry.
Research indicates that pupils engaged in collaborative group discussion on philosophical questions benefit from:
- Increased self-confidence
- Better numeracy and literacy skills
- Greater ability to think creatively and critically about complex matters
- Greater ability to understand, recognize and respect alternative reasonable viewpoints.
- Improved social behaviour, participation and concentration
