Abstract
One of the principles of the TSC project is to treat thinking skills as explicit educational objectives whose teaching deserves careful pedagogical considerations. This chapter describes how various pedagogical ideas are adapted for teaching the TSC microworlds learning activity. First, I will describe the salient features of this activity and their rationale. Then I will focus on students’ pre-instructional thinking strategies and on the teaching sequence we devised for dealing with them.
