Managing Information & Thinking -Reflecting On & Evaluating Information

# data[].attributes.body
This key skill helps learners gradually improve their capacity to search for information from different sources. They also develop their skills in judging and discrimination between information types and sources and they develop strategies for organising information so that they can understand it and use it later. This skill also develops learners’ thinking skills so that they can become more skilled in higher order reasoning and problem-solving.
