Three Storey Intellect
The Three Storey Intellect is a skills-based pedagogy aimed at developing students' critical thinking skills. The metaphor of the three storey building works to establish that students need the foundation of lower order thinking skills, to be able to construct the two upper storeys of thinking skills.
I use the structure of the Three Storey Intellect to structure and guide student learning, incorporating it with Bloom's Taxonomy of educational objectives, as like Bloom's Taxonomy, this pedagogy can be applied as the foundations for questioning, individual lessons plans, unit planners and assessment tasks.
