INTRODUCTION TO THE PEACE CURRICULUM 17
Cognitive skills
Problematizing:
Students should analyze and criticize their own deep beliefs and assumptions, all they take
for granted.
• Reflexive thinking about one’s own assumptions
• Identifying, assessing, and using multiple perspectives (even conflicting ones): To learn to
recognize and be attentive to different points of view
• To learn a better understanding of problems
• Ability to ask good questions. Exposes a philosophical approach to the problem (focuses
attention on meaning and concepts rather than judgments; identifies a problematic as-
pect, for instance raises a question that exposes a counter example; asking questions
that push the inquiry deeper and/or enters the topic from a different perspective)
Conceptualizing
Students should explore and clarify the words they use, in order to overcome vagueness
and ambiguity, and advance towards the use of more precise and clearer concepts.
• Student should understand the meaning of the words they use in their everyday life
• They have to learn to explain and to articulate their own opinions clearly (showing more
clear use of language)
• Identifying moral values at stake in the discussion
• Contextualization: ideas and problems must be situated in a context
• Establishing relationships (making connections, analogical thinking…)
• Universalizing
Reasoning
Students should warrant their own ideas and viewpoints and support them using logical
reasoning
• Making good judgments
• Conditional reasoning: In conditional reasoning, the reasoner must draw a conclusion
based on a conditional, or “if…then,” proposition
• Anticipating the consequences
• Causal thinking
• Utilizing moral imagination: generating new possibilities (i.e. the third space), discovering
new possibilities and alternatives through dialogue with others
• Explaining oneself to others
• Distinguishing between good and poor reasons (criteria: relevance, based on evidence,
more understandable for other people, consistency)
Affective skills
Self-oriented skills
Students should develop a balanced assertiveness in such a way as to allow them to
openly express their own ideas, think for themselves, and compare their viewpoints with
those of their classmates. They should accept criticism from other people.
• Showing self-awareness
• Having confidence: To become aware that their own thoughts are valuable and everyone
has unique ideas
• Developing resiliency of self
• Being appropriately assertive
