思考，不再只是湊巧出現 而是可以指出來、注意到，並不斷擴散出去 「教育的目的在於培養思考的能力」，全球所有國家的教育部恐怕都會同意這一點。世上所有老師也都希望課堂不再只是自己的獨角戲，不用再挖空心思，只為吸引學生注意。但如何做到，卻仍是教室中的頭號難題。 首先，思考是什麼？這個問題恐怕就會難倒絕大多數人。我們一味的要求學生思考，卻從未退一步想，自己具體上是想要學生做什麼心智活動。如果我們想讓思考在課堂中顯現出來，要做的第一件事，應該是先看到思考有哪些形式、面向，以及過程。 哈佛大學教育學院是世界頂尖的教育研究中心，旗下「零點計畫」（Project Zero）一項歷時五年的「智慧創新」研究，正是本書的前身。這個研究致力於找出哪些思考類型是我們在建立理解時最不可少的，最後得出六大思考類型，再根據這些思考類型，發展出21種思考歷程，也就是引導學生思考的教學活動，讓老師可以融入日常課堂，看見學生的思考與不思考。這項計畫與美國、歐洲、澳洲上千位學校老師合作，成果放上網路後獲得驚人迴響，不斷有老師反饋自己的使用心得， 而本書，正融入了以上的理論研究、實行過程、使用反饋。為了協助老師克服實際教學無可避免會面臨的挑戰及抵抗心理，除了大量應用的實例，甚至一一列出老師在實行時的成功訣竅，以及對失敗的檢討。 不過，若希望某個歷程能真正發揮效用，推動學生成為懂得思考及學習的人，「試一次好了」「試試看再說」的心態是不夠的。要建立教室中的思考文化、培養學生的思考傾向，老師要先成為學習者。運動員、藝術家的學習，都是先從模仿開始，教室中的學生也是，他們會模仿老師的學習，也模仿老師的不怕犯錯。先示範何謂學習，再透過用字譴詞卸下學生只敢、只想說出「正確答案」的戒心（光是以「是什麼讓你這麼說」來取代「你為什麼讓這麼說」就有可觀的效果）。還有極其重要的一點：使用適當的教材。不適當的教材，會讓學生心生「老師到底想問什麼」的沮喪或不耐。而以上一切，你都可以在這本書中找到實際建議。 本書的重點在於幫助老師做回最擅長的事：教學。老師不是策展人、不是活動規劃師，不應該耗費時間設計各種討好學生的遊戲，只為了讓學生不無聊。培養出真正懂得思考與學習的下一代絕非一蹴可幾，但也不是遙不可及，只是需要拿到對的工具。 《讓思考變得可見》一書在全球教育界頗具影響力，而本書的價值在「獨立思考」越趨重要的未來會更加彰顯。 本書融合理論

Ultraman narrowly averted a catastrophe decades in the making. The world was saved --but also forever changed. Now...come the consequences! Much of the populace regard their defenders with suspicion. Enemies hide in plain sight, and even those closest to Shin Hayata don't necessarily have faith in the Giant of Light. But at last, a long-thought-lost comrade has returned! That's a good thing...right? Unfortunately, the forces aligned against the USP and Ultraman are far more widespread -- and more organized -- than our heroes ever suspected. If they're going to survive, they'll need a new ally of their own...and the man they're thinking of just so happens to be one of the most powerful and influential people in the world. But what's his history with the USP...and why does he seem to have his own hidden agenda? COLLECTING: The Trials Of Ultraman (2021) 1-5
