  1. Edward de Bono’s Six Hats Thinking Task

  2. Early in the 1980s Dr. Edward de Bono invented the Six Thinking Hats method. The method is a framework for thinking. It requires students (and teachers), to extend their way of thinking about a topic by wearing a range of different ’thinking‘ hats

  3. The six hats represent six modes of thinking and are directions to think rather than labels for thinking. That is, the hats are used proactively rather than reactively.

  4. Your students will use the Six Thinking Hats to: • Discuss topics • Solve problems • Explore alternatives • Reach decisions • Research, organise and write reports • Brainstorming

  5. ‘Six hats’ is a type of group work. In this method you are asked to look at a problem from different angles and use this to come to a conclusion.

  6. You need to use each hat to look at the problem.

  7. The hats are as follows:

  8. White Hat pure facts, figures and information

  9. Red Hat seeing red, emotions and feelings, also hunch and intuition

  10. Black Hat negative judgement, what is wrong with the statement, or why it doesn’t work?

  11. Yellow Hat positive judgement, constructive, what is good about it?

  12. Green Hat creative, what could be changed or done differently?

  13. Blue Hat thinking about what you have already discussed, what is your overall conclusion?

  14. You need to look at your question using each of the hats. As a group, use one hat at a time.

  15. It is easiest to start with the white hat and work your way down to the blue hat. Always do the blue hat last.
