Abstract

This study discusses the incorporation of thinking strategies of high order in teaching in general and in the teaching of theoretical texts in particular. The main goal of the paper is to discuss the difficulties of teaching theoretical texts to students, but also present teachers with a tool kit when facing these difficulties. The present study lays the foundations for the teaching of a theoretical text, and suggests an efficient teaching method that will allow students to fully and thoroughly understand a text.
