Science of thinking*
is a breakthrough thinking skills intervention program
to build advanced level thinking skills among test
aspirants, for success in aptitude tests. It is programmed
to be either embedded in the curriculum or taught
as an independent course.
The intervention program is adapted from the findings
of a doctoral experimental study titled ‘problem
solving strategies and cognitive capabilities’
( PhD thesis of Academic Head, Semantics, and field
- tested for 10 years for test preparation courses)
as well as from the teaching- learning tenets propounded
byBruner, Benjamin S. Bloom etal.
Science of thinking learning system has wider applications and has served
as the framework for designing Semantics’ GMAT
curriculum. Science of thinking has been successfully
introduced to test prep courses including GMAT.
Our mission is to make the innovation available
to test aspirants to give them an assured direction
to their preparation and there by raise their performance
levels.
