However, growing thinking generation is very difficult because there are many discrepancies in defining of thinking and thinking skills. Without defining thinking and its dimensions, it is nearly impossible to grow such generation. For having thinking generation, thinking and its dimensions should be described. In the past 20 years, there have been many different definitions with regard to thinking and thinking skills. But, three different approaches for defining thinking skills and needed basic cognitive operations were commonly accepted. Aim of this study whether these three approaches for defining thinking skills were accepted in Turkish literature or not. For this aim, 14 studies, selected from Turkish database, related to thinking skills were analyzed. According the content analysis results, Turkish literature follows these three movements for defining thinking skills except for belonging to specific areas. </p></td></tr></tbody></table>

Docu-games designate a versatile group of games that have in common an attempt to depict and reflect on aspects of reality such as military conflicts, historical periods, or contemporary political and socio-cultural issues. As such, docu-games have become a new communication tool for individuals or organizations. This chapter explores different perspectives on games as documentaries, going beyond the mere subject matter and visualization of docu-games to approach questions about simulations as statements about reality and gameplay as a tool for communicating statements about reality. Combining cognitive documentary and games theory with content analysis, the chapter offers a theoretical framework for understanding how docu-games reference the relationship between reality and game, as well as how they establish credibility in relation to these representations.

Prior to Namibia's independence in 1990, the role of the teacher in an educational environment has been defined as the transmission of information to students, and the teacher was regarded as the all-knowing person in the classroom, who slavishly followed the textbook in transmitting the subject matter to the students. In some cases, the teacher did not understand the subject matter that he/she transmitted to students. Therefore, there was no explanation of what was being taught. Students had to sit passively and listen to the teacher; learn by memorization (rote learning), and recall the transmitted information. This study explored perceptions of the role of teachers and students in learner-centered classrooms in a primary school in Namibia. Learner-centered teachers create learning environments that promote students' active engagement with learning and develop critical thinking skills.

Among the legendary thin volumes such asEthics for Used-Car DealersorLove Sonnets for Bureaucrats, one would invariably find a copy ofThe Wit and Humor of Political Science. There is an irony here and it is this: the very subject matter which is studied by political scientists—government and politics—has produced an enormous amount of humor, but those who study it rarely allow themselves the luxury of approaching the topic with levity or a sense of the absurd. How can it be that what is humorous in practice is so serious in theory? There are jokes about sports, jokes about ethnic groups, jokes about sex, and even jokes about religion but can anyone recall the last time he was elbowed in the ribs and had someone snicker to him, “Say, did you hear the latest joke about content analysis?” What would a joke about political scientists sound like? Would it go something like this? Question: How many political scientists does it take to experience love-making? The answer is three—two to ask each other how it felt and the third to determine the degree of inter-coder reliability. Pretty slim pickings on the whole until the book that is the subject of this piece of arrant puffery.

In this study data from verbal protocols and semi-structured interviews was analysed to explore Norwegian EFL teacher raters’ (n=10) orientations towards content in an oral English exam at the upper secondary school level, a context characterized by the absence of a common rating scale for the teacher raters. The content construct was mainly analysed in terms a subject matter dimension and a skills and processes dimension. The results indicated that the teachers were more concerned with the skills and processes dimension (e.g. analysis, reflection) than with the subject matter dimension (e.g. cultural knowledge). Moreover, their understanding of subject matter compared fairly well with the subject curriculum, despite instances of construct underrepresentation. The study points to the prominence of guidance for teacher raters in the assessment of content and to the significance of alerting students to the importance of higher-order thinking skills in language education at this level.


The current research aimed to analyze English for Palestine- textbook of eight based on reflective thinking skills. To achieve the study purpose, the two researchers adopted the descriptive analytical approach and designed a content analysis card in order to collect and analyze data. The content analysis was designed in terms of reflective thinking skills and refereed by a number of teaching English language specialists and experts in the field of teaching English language. The two researchers used SPSS (22) to get mean, std. deviation, sum and percentages. The results of content analysis showed that English for Palestine-8 includes reflective thinking skills with variant values. Observing got the highest percentage with (22.651%), followed by proposing with a percentage of (22.483%). Inferring got the third rank with a percentage of (20.134%). Then detecting contradictions got a percentage of (18.792%). However, reasoning got the lowest percentage with (15.939%). Thus, the two researchers recommended that the designers of the Palestinian curricula and specialists should focus on enriching reflective thinking skills when setting objectives, teaching and evaluation strategies, and standards should be built in order to evaluate the availability of reflective thinking skills in the English for Palestine textbooks.
