| 5 | Summary | DeBono’s fundamental premise is that here are six fundamental types of thinking, and thinking becomes too confusing if we try to think in all modes simultaneously. Thinking becomes more effective if we use one type of thinking at a time. This is accomplished by figuratively putting on “thinking caps,†one by one. If groups of people can think in a common mode, they can devise better solutions to problems at a more rapid pace! Consider the time wasted when team members are not “on the same pageâ€!%%%%%%The class is introduced to the concept of Edward Debono’s __six thinking hats__ in class during one 50-75 minute lecture period. The instructor wear’s the “blue hat†and quickly introduces each of the other hats and, in teams of four to five students, %%%the class practices each hat while trying to come up with an innovation related to the common water bottle. %%% | DeBono's fundamental premise is that here are six fundamental types of thinking, and thinking becomes too confusing if we try to think in all modes simultaneously.
