Marzano Vs Costa & Kallick

Both Marzano and Costa & Kallick's descriptions of the Habits of Mind (HoM) form the basis of learning design approaches to current pre-service teacher training. The question being asked is
'What behaviors are indicative of the efficient, effective problem solver? (www.mindfulbydesign.com)

Marzano and Costa & Kallick's answers differ in the following way's:
Costa and Kallick summarise their findings into a collection of 16 thinking dispositions (inc. persistence, precision & meta cognition), whilst Mazarno encapsulates his ideas into 3 categories; critical thinking, creative thinking & self-regulated thinking.

Both frameworks share a common vision of harnessing ones intellectual behaviors to become the most effective humans that one can be. Parallel to this idea is the development of the continuous learner, applications for the classroom are obvious but such strategies should also be extended to the students wider world outside the classroom.
