  22. DESCRIBING 16 HABITS OF MIND Arthur L. Costa, Ed. D. and Bena Kallick, Ph.D. By definition, a problem is any stimulus, question, task, phenomenon , or discrepancy, the explanation for which is not immediately known. Thus, we are interested in focusing on student performance under those challenging conditions that demand strategic reasoning, insightfulness, perseverance, creativity, and craftsmanship to resolve a complex problem. Not only are we interested in how many answers students know, but also in knowing how to behave when they DON'T know. Habits of Mind are performed in response to those questions and problems ,the answers to which are NOT immediately known. We are interested in observing how students produce knowledge rather than how they merely reproduce knowledge. The critical attribute of intelligent human beings is not only having information, but also knowing how to act on it.

  23. The 16 Habits of Mind identified by Costa and Kallick include : ƒ Persisting ƒ Thinking and communicating with clarity and precision ƒ Managing impulsivity ƒ Gathering data through all senses ƒ Listening with understanding and empathy ƒ Creating, imagining, innovating ƒ Thinking flexibly ƒ Responding with wonderment and awe ƒ Thinking about thinking (metacognition) ƒ Taking responsible risks ƒ Striving for accuracy ƒ Finding humor ƒ Questioning and posing problems ƒ Thinking interdependently ƒ Applying past knowledge to new situations ƒ Remaining open to continuous learning
