Description

Transforming Thinking: Philosophical Inquiry in the Primary and Secondary Classroom by Catherine Claire McCall is a long-awaited guide to empowering teaching methods that can lead to significant improvements in confidence and articulacy. This book considers Philosophical Inquiry, an approach that fosters critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and intellectual honesty.

Through practical ideas and examples ranging from young children to underachieving teenagers, McCall shows how participation in a Community of Philosophical Inquiry (CoPI) develops essential skills such as reasoning, concept formation, and judgment. The book provides valuable insights into the theory and development of Philosophical Inquiry, its creation, and its application with groups of different ages.

Ideal for teachers, professionals, and community workers seeking to prepare active citizens for the twenty-first century, this book offers a comprehensive approach to promoting critical thinking and intellectual curiosity in educational settings.
