Six sentence argument

Wissen zu visualisieren gehört zu den anspruchsvollen Dingen. Denn nur, wenn die Struktur der Inhalte klar ist, kann dieser auch schlüssig visualisiert werden.

Das heisst, dass man beim kritischen Denken beginnen muss. Die Art, Dinge strukturiert anzugehen, habe ich bei der ETH Zürich kennengelernt. Critical Thinking verschafft das nötige Rüstzeug, um komplexe, interdisziplinäre und systemorientierte Fragen zu bewältigen.

Es sind immer die sechs Bausteine, die man zum ordnen der Gedanken braucht.

#1 Einführung

#2 Position

#3 Begründung

#4 Herausforderung

#5 Wiederlegung

#6 Konklusion

Hier ist die Anwendung der „Six sentence argument“ bezogen auf Skizzieren von Ideen:

#1 Introduction | Sketching skills are of increasing relevance for us, who compete and communicate in the visual age. To draft, shape, structure and iterate rapid prototype sketches to convey ideas with lean visual means enhances concise thinking in early stages of research.

#2 Position | Visual thinking with sketches facilitates the structuring of the case analysis, clear reasoning and project development. Sketching is the most immediate and lean visual language.

#3 Reason | Ideasketching applies the rapid visual drafting process and lets students gain experience as visual developer and visual thinkers. Finding complex and structured models shapes processes.

#4 Challenge | Critics may question the ancient research technique sketching. But finding out where to draw a line in the model has always been about knowing the problem from different point of views.

#5 Rebuttal | Ideasketching may seem overcome in the digital age and high-tech education. But focussing on the problem and not on the software helps to find solutions.

#6 Conclusion | Ideasketching enables students to develop concise and complex ideas and models. Sketching helps to find the needed structure and logically argumentation with lean visual means.

Wenn es klar ist, worum es geht, dann kann man die Inhalte erfassen.
