THE ADVANTAGES OF USING THE THEORY OF MIND AT SCHOOL<\/p>\n

Frequently, teachers and educators lament about the general difficulty their students have with \u201cseeing things from another point of view,\u201d recognizing others\u2019 needs and being aware of them. <\/p>\n

In this context, the theory of mind—that is, the capacity to put yourself in another’s place—represents a resource for the individual’s ability to develop and maintain good relationships with others (both dyadic and in a group) in the home and at school, with teachers and classmates, improving social competence<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the school context, a connection between theory of mind and academic achievement was noted. In particular, theory of mind seems to influence reading comprehension ability<\/em>, the area of metacognition<\/em>, and sensitivity<\/em> to criticism<\/em>. <\/p>\n

The recognition of the importance of the theory of mind for the development of social, relational and cognitive skills of the child, has led researchers to develop intervention programs to promote this ability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
