INTRODUCTION : 

INTRODUCTION The de Bono Hats system ,also known as "Six Hats" or "Six Thinking Hats" is a thinking tool for group discussion and individual thinking. Combined with the idea of parallel thinking which is associated with it, it provides a means for groups to think together more effectively, and a means to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way.

Slide 3: 

The six hats represents six modes of thinking and are directions to think rather than labels for thinking .That is, the hats are used proactively rather than reactively .The main purpose of using six hats is to : 1)Encourage parallel thinking 2)Encourage full spectrum thinking 3)Separate ego from performance.

WHITE HAT : 

WHITE HAT White hat is a hat of fact and information. With this thinking hat, you focus on the data available. Look at the information you have, and see what you can learn from it. Look for gaps in your knowledge, and either try to fill them or take account of them.This is where you analyze past trends, and try to extrapolate from historical data

EXAMPLE : 

EXAMPLE Students are talking while the teacher is talking There is noise and therefore other students are distracted and can’t hear the teacher Students don’t know what to do once instructions are given Many students become distracted and off task resulting in the failure to complete work Students are not understanding the focused lecture due to lack of concentration

RED HAT : 

RED HAT Red hat is the hat of emotion. Wearing the red hat, you look at the decision using intuition, gut reaction, and emotion. Also try to think how other people will react emotionally, and try to understand the intuitive responses of people who do not fully know your reasoning .

EXAMPLE : 

EXAMPLE The teacher feels offended Students become frustrated because they can’t hear directions Those talking enjoy joking around and being heard. It represents emotional thinking of a person.

BLACK HAT : 

BLACK HAT Black hat is the hat of judgment and caution . Try to see why ideas and approaches might not work. This is important because it highlights the weak points in a plan or course of action. It allows you to eliminate them, alter your approach, or prepare contingency plans to counter problems that arise. Black Hat thinking helps to make your plans tougher and more resilient. Black Hat thinking is one of the real benefits of this technique, as many successful people get so used to thinking positively that often they cannot see problems in advance, leaving them under-prepared for difficulties

EXAMPLE : 

EXAMPLE Time is wasted Learning is compromised Those speaking feel that black hat listeners do not respect them and do not wish to hear what they are saying Flow of discussion is less clear

YELLOW HAT : 

YELLOW HAT Yellow hat is the hat of optimism. The yellow hat helps you to think positively. It is the optimistic viewpoint that helps you to see all the benefits of the decision and the value in it, and spot the opportunities that arise from it. Yellow Hat thinking helps you to keep going when everything looks gloomy and difficult.

EXAMPLE : 

EXAMPLE Everyone is able to say what is on their minds. It can be fun. Not only the ‘smart kids’ get to speak. One doesn’t have to wait to share their ideas and therefore risk forgetting information.

GREEN HAT : 

GREEN HAT Green hat stands for growth and possibilities. The Green Hat stands for creativity. This is where you can develop creative solutions to a problem. It is a freewheeling way of thinking, in which there is little criticism of ideas. A whole range of creativity tools can help you here.

EXAMPLE : 

EXAMPLE Teacher will be more aware about the amount of time they spend talking Teacher will try to incorporate interaction from a variety of different students rather than just the ‘smart kids’ Students will resist the urge to say whatever is on their mind. They will think about what they have to say and whether it is relevant to the topic Students will take into account whether their comment will interfere with other people's learning Students will think of new ways to communicate rather than talking in class, for example, talk on Messenger Students will be able to develop ideas as a result of being creative in class

BLUE HAT : 

BLUE HAT The Blue Hat stands for process control. This is the hat worn by people chairing meetings. When running into difficulties because ideas are running dry, they may direct activity into Green Hat thinking. When contingency plans are needed, they will ask for Black Hat thinking, and so on.

EXAMPLE : 

EXAMPLE Teacher learns that they need to monitor the amount of time that they spend talking within the classroom Teacher needs to involve all students within discussions Teacher needs to recognize that some students need thinking time before responding. Allowing these students time to compute solutions promotes wider participation and increased learning Students realize that their talking makes the speaker feel unappreciated and disrespected Students realize that their comments are jeopardizing the learning of other individuals Students realize that talking out of time demonstrates a lack of self-discipline and that not all comments require sharing
