De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats
These hats are used when looking
at any topic or problem.
In turn, use the properties of each
hat to look at the problem.
For example, when considering a
mission to Mars, the White Hat
type of thinking would be used
when scientists wanted to focus on
amounts of fuel, distances, etc. –
data, information.
The Black Hat would also be used
when considering the problems
associated with a Mars Mission.
The Red Hat would be useful
when reflecting on your feelings of
achievement after a school or club
event.
