The document discusses using the six thinking hats technique developed by Edward de Bono as a model for learning styles. It describes how each of the six hats - white, red, black, yellow, green and blue - can represent a different learning style dimension. For example, the white hat is likened to logical learners, while the green hat represents creative learners. The document also provides examples of learning style models that aspects of the six hats can be mapped to. It proposes using the six hats framework to form balanced groups and get different perspectives in teaching.

53. Using the de Bono 6-Hats Technique as a Learning Styles Model

55. Six-Hats Technique

57. White Hat White Hat (Logical) The ‘White Hat’ is the logical approach to learning, which is similar to the logical dimension of any number of learning styles models. For example, the Thinking dimension of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the Quadrant A dimension of the Herrmann Brain Dominance Indicator, the Assimilators of the Kolb Model, and the Logical-Mathematical intelligence of Howard Gardner ’ s Multiple Intelligences. White Hat learners are therefore logical and analytical, they like the facts, figures and theories, and tend to be objective about ideas. Ideally they like to do independent research, read books, and compile facts and figures. They usually work best alone and are generally very strong at academic subjects.

58. Yellow Hat Yellow Hat (Positive) The ‘Yellow Hat’ is the optimistic approach, this dimension describes learners who are upbeat and positive, like the Participant dimension of the Grasha- Riechmann Model. Yellow Hat learners are upbeat and optimistic, and try to find the positive side to all situations. They enjoy learning real-world examples, are group-orientated and very supportive of other members of the group. They like practical subjects and demonstrations.

59. Black Hat Black Hat (Negative) The ‘Black Hat’ is the so-called negative approach, but is better described as the cautious or practical approach. It is equivalent the practical dimension in a number of models, for example, the Quadrant B dimension of the Herrmann Brain Dominance Indicator, Pragmatists in the Honey-Mumford Model, but most particularly it is like the Concrete Sequential learners of the Gregorc Model. Black Hat learners are cautious and practical, and they worry that the costs will outweigh the benefits of their decisions. They enjoy learning from real-world examples and like to work in groups to help them explore ideas. They like practical subjects and demonstrations.

60. Green Hat Green Hat (Creative) The ‘Green Hat’ is the creative approach, this dimension describes learners who are creative and think laterally. It is equivalent to the creative dimension in a number of models, for example, the Quadrant D dimension of the Herrmann Brain Dominance Indicator, Divergers in the Kolb Model, and Type 4 (Dynamic Learners) in the 4MAT Model. Green Hat learners are creative and innovative in their approach to learning, they enjoy puzzles and problem-solving exercises. They like to think “outside the box” and will keep seeking alternative solutions to problems and should therefore be challenged with practical exercises that require many points-of-view to fully solve.

61. Red Hat Red Hat (Emotional) The ‘Red Hat’ is the emotional approach, this dimension describes people who are in touch with their feelings and with themselves, like the Intrapersonal intelligence of Howard Gardner ’ s Multiple Intelligences. Red Hat learners are emotional and instinctive, they love to debate and discuss ideas. They are in touch with their feelings and care a lot about their own environments. They like to participate in lectures, love working in groups and are very strong at practical subjects.

62. Blue Hat Blue Hat (Facilitator) The ‘Blue Hat’ is the facilitating approach, this dimension describes the learners who are holists and natural leaders. It is like the Interpersonal intelligence of Howard Gardner ’ s Multiple Intelligences. The Blue hat learners are holistic in their approach, can be very effective leaders, but need lots of thinking time to help them ensure they have thought things out fully. They prefer lectures or exercises where a clear overview is given, can have a strong visual preference, and tend to be very rule-orientated.
