Big 6 Framework

The Big 6 Framework is a problem solving model that can be used whenever people need or use information. The following quote that was taken from the Big6 Framework article explains why this particular process is a good one to use when teaching.

"In addition to considering the Big6 as a process, another useful way to view the Big6 is as a set of basic, essential life skills. These skills can be applied across situations—to school, personal, and work settings. The Big6 Skills are applicable to all subject areas across the full range of grade levels. Students use the Big6 Skills whenever they need information to solve a problem, make a decision, or complete a task."


This framework therefore is a great tool for school as it can be used when teaching students different types of information within all of the Key Learning Areas.
