Visible thinking is a way of actively engaging students in the learning process. It involves students interpreting, thinking, and inventing ideas, allowing them to help each other learn while also developing their understanding, reasoning abilities, fairness, and creativity. When teachers employ visible thinking techniques like asking questions, brainstorming, debates, and puzzles, it helps capture students' attention and make the lessons more relevant to their lives. The use of routines is important for visible thinking, as frequent strategies become part of the classroom experience and support abilities, attitudes, and alertness, which enhances learning.

1. INTRODUCTION:
It is known that learning is not individual but social. One of the ability that is getting more
and more attention and importance to teachers is the thinking ability.
Visible thinking is a way of learning to be exposed, developed and better understood. It is
an active way to create and inspire work in students, not only children but for adults.
VISIBLE THINKING
It is more than evident that in a classroom students have to be the center of the teaching
process, but it doesn’t mean that they have to be excluded to participate, and they cannot
support their knowledge with ideas and doubts making easier the achievements of goals.
Visible thinking involves not only the learning but also the thinking itself, what does it
mean? That in classroom students are able to interpret, think and invent; this points are
very important because students have the chance to help each other while learning. Visible
thinking includes four points: understanding, truth, fairness, and creativity. Teachers should
take into account the power visible thinking has because it allows to have a better results in
students, for example normally students tend to be bored and don’t show interest in class or
the lessons they get but if they are ask to think and analyze certain topics or details their
attention can be caught and even what they are learning can be taken into account for
events of their lives. Teachers must use the thinking instead of memorizing in that way
they will get more useful results that will help students not only in present but in future.
It is important to recognize the need of good thinking, and it involves three aspects that
must work together: abilities, attitudes, and alertness. Learning is more possible when
taking into account those aspects and recognizing that the five senses have to be the most
crucial means of the learning. For example: If I want to learn how to draw, I will have to

2. use my hands to do it but at the same time my eyes and mind to analyze the lines, designs,
etc.
What is involved in the visible thinking and perhaps what makes it possible in a classroom,
it is the use of routines. It means that routines can be seen as strategies even though they
can be the same; what makes the difference is the use of those routines, which must be
frequently; they become part of the class in everyday at school. Some routines can be:
questions, brainstorming, debates, puzzle, pair discussion, etc.
