Online Course: Using Thinking Maps to Teach Afrikaans
Elmarie Petersen
By correctly using Thinking Maps, teachers can design consistent, clear higher-order thinking patterns for their students. Thinking Maps promote deeper engagement with the content as well as engagement with other students. The Maps reveal thinking as it happens and lead to deeper understanding of concepts and relationships between ideas.
​
This course is aimed at teachers of Afrikaans for Gr 4 - Gr 12. The Thinking Maps will enhance the teaching and learning of writing skills, improve vocabulary, and assist students to make connections between ideas.
