The Underpinnings of the Harvard Project Zero Visible Thinking

Visible Thinking Routines

Visible thinking routines support inclusivity as it engages many students, drawing students into group discussions who usually participate infrequently

Aligns strongly with the ‘Learner Centred Ideology’ (Schiro, 2013)

Through the implementation of Visible Thinking approach, educators scaffold complex cognition and provoke dialogic thinking (Vygotsky, 1978)

Allows children to promote their development as self-directed learners and promotes learning for understanding

Encourages students to express their ideas and understandings rather than memorise facts

Limitations of the Visible Thinking approach

- Educators may inflict implicit bias upon students

- Rich classroom discourse can often lead to the ‘evaporation’ of children’s ideas if they are not immediately documented (Richhart et al., 2011)

- Research has shown that many educators struggle to gain connection between their learning experiences, meaning, their lessons become isolated, lose meaning and are not revisited (Richhart et al., 2011).

Innovations are always created for a reason. I mean; why fix what isn’t broken? The Harvard Project Zero, Visible Thinking innovation is no different.

So why was this project developed?

- The necessity for arts and education to be combined and respected in order to develop student thinking in many areas

- The name of the project, ‘Project Zero’, represents the rationalism for the concept; demonstrating the lack of attention given to arts education within the regular and everyday curriculum

What is Harvard Project Zero’s Visible thinking helping to improve you ask?

- Assists students to improve the way in which they think about tasks, reinforcing that the thinking process is just as important as the final product

- Allows educators to gather critical data and identify gaps in knowledge, crucial for future assessment and planning, particularly for students with diverse needs

- Allows educators to have accurate and visible representations of students’ thinking processes
