“To achieve the bold ambitions that have been set out, we will need to change the way we have been doing things. In other words, we will have to innovate”YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib bin Haji Tun Abdul RazakPrime Minister of Malaysia

What is i-THINK?
i-THINK is a program that is adapted and adopted from The Thinking Schools
International (Kestrel Education, UK) focused on developing, implementing, documenting and openly sharing the practices of explicitly
improving all students’, teachers’ and administrators’ thinking abilities
Whyi-THINK ?
Findings by 21st Century Schools (US) andKestrel Education (UK) via Needs Analysisshowed that Higher Order Thinking Skillsamongst Malaysian teachers and studentsare extremely low (reported on 21st
September 2011 to DG)
What was the Thinking Tools Introduced?

Launching of i-THINK Program
The Program was launched at The Parliament by Prime Minister on the 13th March 2012
What are the Thinking Tools Will Be Introduced in i-THINK?
•Thinking Maps - was introduced in pilot project before other tools•Habits of Mind•Thinking Hats•Q-Matrix Charts
Thinking Hats
Thinking Maps
Habits of Mind
What are Thinking Maps®
Based on intelligent research, Thinking Maps® combine the cognitive thought processes of learning with the visual representation of information found in graphic organizers
Thinking Maps
When implemented as a whole school basis, Thinking Maps® provide a consistent and a brain compatible way for teachers to present information, and for students to learn and retain it.
Thinking Maps
Thinking Maps® is not a curriculum, but, rather a set of tools to allow teachers to present their existing curriculum in a more meaningful way
Thinking Maps
Thinking Maps® is a language of 8 visual patterns each based on a fundamental thinking process
Thinking Maps
Dual Coding Theory
Knowledge is stored in two forms: linguistically and non-linguistically.Research proves that the more we use both systems of representation, the better we are able to think and recall knowledge.

TYPES of VISUAL TOOLS
Brainstorm “Web”
• Mind mapping
• Webbing
• Clustering
• Concept Mapping
Task-Specific Graphic Organisers
• Life Cycle : Science
• Timeline: History
• Venn Diagram: Maths
Thinking Maps
• Defining in Context
• Describing
• Compare & Contrast
• Classifying
• Part-Whole
• Sequencing
• Cause & Effect
• Seeing Analogies
For Personal Knowledge For Isolated TasksA Common Visual LanguageFor Classrooms & Whole Schools
80% of all information that comes into our brain is VISUAL
40% of all nerve fibres connected to the brain are linked to the retina
36,000 visual messages per hour are be registered by the eyes
• Eric Jensen, Brain Based Learning
Thinking Maps®Must be implemented on the whole school basis. Implementation consists of staff development and training materials for each teacher

How it works in UKThinking School Accreditation
by:Kestrel Education partnership with
University of Exeter
(schools volunteer to participate )
THINKING TIME• How is the difference in mode of
implementation between HOTS program in UK and Malaysia can benefit each country (by its own)?
• Focusing on our country alone, do you think it would be as effective, if it is done voluntarily by school?
