Modelling reflection based on Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats tool

This is an exemplar of what reflection based on Edward de Bono’s ’ Six Thinking Hats’ tool looks, feels and sounds like.

The students engaged with the tool as an aftermath of a debate unpacking altruism.

The material shows application of a strategy via a compassionate learning system.

When you purchase the material feel free to adapt it to your own needs.
I would appreciate your feedback.

a taster RED HAT ( compassionate systems )

think of warmth
think of feelings

Using the red hat gives you the opportunity to express feelings, emotions and intuition without any need to explain or to justify them.

In a normal business discussion you are not supposed to allow your emotions to enter in. They enter in anyway- you merely disguise them as logic.

Intuition may be based on a lot of experience.
I feel this is the right person for the job.
I feel this is a risky venture.
My intuition tells me that this explanation is too complex.
The opposite of neutral, objective information.
Hunches, intuitions, impressions.
No need to justify.
No need to give reasons or the basis.

Red hat is almost the exact opposite of white hat thinking, which is neutral, objective and free of emotional flavour.

EMOTIONS DO NOT HAVE TO BE LOGICAL.
EMOTIONS CAN BE FINE-TUNED WITH A LANGAUGE TO MATCH.
RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO JUSTIFY EMOTIONS.

If you are still with me I do greatly recommend this TED speech about
the right brain hemisphere.
It is scientific.

Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened – as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding – she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
