What does it mean to be a good thinker? Good thinkers certainly have thinking skills. But they also have, motivations, attitudes, values and habits of mind all play key roles in good thinking, and if people use their thinking skills when it is needed.
Can dispositions be taught?
I think they can be taught but a teacher cannot make their students learn. The student has to find a spark of interest in what they are learning and then they will want to learn.
Teacher dispositions loosely equate to values, beliefs, attitudes, characteristics, professional behaviors and qualities, ethics, and perceptions but not all of that can be taught. It is up to the teacher to teach to their best ability.
