Thinking on your own thoughts
The curriculum should also develop a high awareness of one’s own
thinking. In fact, despite having the potential to generate these con-

ing, through listening to ourselves and the communication that we
have with ourselves. The metacognition involves everything in us:
emotions, physical sensations, ideas, beliefs, values, quality of char-
acter, and the inferences that we generate from the interactions with
others.

Thinking big
Through the curriculum it is possible to build collaborative learning
communities where people can seek ways to continuously support
each other, learn together and grow towards bigger intellects.
