Extractions: Dr. Reichenbach has taught at Augsburg College since 1968. His interests in other cultures led him to teach at Morija Theological Seminary in Lesotho and more recently at Daystar University in Nairobi, Kenya. He participated in seminars in China, Korea, and Russia, and lectured in Slovenia. He also participated in NEH Institutes and seminars and in Templeton-sponsored dialogues between science and religion. His most recent book is INTRODUCTION TO CRITICAL THINKING . Published by McGraw-Hill, the text has a structure that adapts Benjamin Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives to critical thinking. The text carefully moves students from developing skills for knowledge acquisition and comprehension to the higher critical thinking skills of analysis, creative synthesis, and evaluation. Its hundreds of exercises, giving students repetitive practice, are drawn almost entirely from the popular media. The book is directed toward true beginners in critical thinking.

I distaste statistical polling of public opinions to make public policies; I distaste statistical rankings in general as such ranking can be used to peddle the virtues of the so called numero uno in a dynamic and changing world; I distaste the abuse of statistical correlation when such correlations are casual rather causal; I distaste the use of statistics when its results can be "correctly" biased to achieve the truth with the probability of 99%. superficial What we need is critical thinking and when I see everybody running around and being fast and being 'competitive' I see only superficial understanding. We must learn that we cannot delegate our social learning and understanding to experts, the Big Brains, as these experts have been selling their souls. So today, I want you to reflect on the significance and validity of these two international educational surveys and in this respect I want to point out the following:

http://members.aol.com/grailpath/Critical.htm

Extractions: in the Name of Christianity A bove all, you must never give in to the temptation to believe that you are not in control of your own thinking. Some will come to you with a "plan for your life," but you should always do these first: N ever allow yourself to succumb to the argument that you must believe in something, without reasoning it out. That is what the Church asks you to do when it says to believe through faith. Y ou are the master of your own fate. Don't give your life over to another person to direct and control in the name of Jesus, or God! This is unreasonable. It is our natural instinct to validate ideas, and it goes counter to our nature to believe blindly. We open ourselves up to serious abuse if we let others direct us in these very personal matters. R ead the Bible, cover to cover. Then, learn the history behind it. Don't let yourself be conned into lectures or conversations about this book until you have read it in its entirety. It is long, and its prose is often difficult or tedious. It talks about events in a distant past, and was written by many authors. It was not always one book, but was once many books, that were later collected together. Some books were not included, some were edited by later councils and church officials. Its development was very turbulent, and political. Context: T he Church has woven a complex message for its converts by picking and choosing passages from diverse, often unrelated parts of the Bible to promote its teachings. Understand both the literary and historical contexts of the passages quoted to make a point. The Church has an agenda, it's agenda, not yours.

The primary emphasis of the journal is on the theory and practice of critical thinking in post-secondary educational contexts. Inquiry seeks to engage its readers in reflection about educational practices and to make available to them educational vehicles potentially useful in providing support for students' efforts to think critically. Inquiry: Critical Thinking Across the Disciplines is indexed in the International Bibliography of Periodical Literature (IBZ), International Bibliography of Book Reviews of Scholarly Literature (IBR), and Philosopher's Index.

Statement Of Teaching Philosophy -- Robert W. Jensen
http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~rjensen/teachingstatement.htm

Extractions: This sometimes is called the teaching of critical thinking, and it shapes not only the way I respond to student comments but the way I lecture and initiate discussions in class. It leads me to speak in class about my own intellectual and political views, in the hopes that in articulating and defending those views I will model for students that kind of critical engagement. As a result of this teaching philosophy, I am sometimes criticized for being too political, both in the classroom and in public. I have been counseled by colleagues to try to be more neutral and objective. One prominent local journalist has even questioned my fitness to teach because of my public political activities. These criticisms reveal the real issues at stake in the teaching of critical thinking. Everyone endorses the teaching of critical thinking, much like everyone endorses peace, freedom, and democracy. In the abstract, there is consensus that a university must foster critical thinking. But critical thinking about what? And critical thinking taught in what fashion? On those issues, there is far less agreement. Based on conversations with other professors and my reading of the critical thinking textbooks, I am concerned that most of the critical thinking methods steer away from the most important issues of the day and encourage professors to remain detached, from students and from controversy.
