Teamwork and dialogue promote independent thinking
Professor Thomas Fuchs emphasises the importance of the social and linguistic environment for thinking: “Just as breathing needs air, thinking needs the social and linguistic environment.” Learning in teams, in small and large groups, through dialogue with others, lays the foundation for independent thinking.
Teachers are inspiring role models who shine through their expertise and commitment. They not only promote knowledge, but also the understanding and application of methodology. By acting as facilitators and coordinators, they create functioning learning groups that motivate and inspire the whole class. These ’learning guides’ support the students in mastering challenges with joy and confidence.
In a school like this, social interaction automatically develops in a positive way. Children observe how others work, learn to recognise and respect their ways of thinking and view everything from different perspectives. This creates a dynamic and respectful learning environment in which every student can grow.
