Extractions: Learning to Think first broadcast on Tuesday, November 3, 1998 A shift in focus away from content and toward a process of teaching students how to think critically implies a different view of teaching and learning, and makes understanding the nature of critical thinking important for the teacher. Yet a concise definition of critical thinking can be difficult to pinpoint. Within a classroom context the concept may become intertwined with ideas such as active learning, alternative assessment, and hands-on work. What does critical thinking mean, and what kinds of outcomes should we strive for? To explore the components of critical thinking, it may be useful to overview some of the principles that have been set forth in a the literature about critical thinking and its application. Robert H. Ennis (1962) perceives a gap in the literature on critical thinking, namely, "a lack of careful attention to the concept, critical thinking." He identifies components of critical thinking and applies each to teaching and evaluation. His "twelve aspects of critical thinking are: Grasping the meaning of a line of reasoning;

Carol Haviland, Facilitator The Faculty Seminar on Writing across the Curriculum (WAC) has two specific goals. First, it helps faculty incorporate writing as part of student learning in all courses in all disciplines. Second, it works to increase faculty members' confidence in their ability to teach courses in the upper division writing program (306). Among the topics to be discussed are: purposes and designs of writing assignments, increasing student writing and learning without increasing already-heavy teaching loads, and responding constructively to student writing, including grading.

Workshops And Classes - Teaching Critical Thinking
How do I teach critical thinking without devotingmy entire life to grading papers?
http://tep.uoregon.edu/workshops/teachingsupport/largeclasses/lctfaq/criticalthi

Extractions: Resources Technology Workshops Services ... Search TEP site Teaching critical thinking through writing Students can be taught to think critically in a variety of ways. If you want to do this through writing and want to reduce the number of papers you are grading, here are some suggestions: You can assign weekly papers and then let students know that of the X # of papers for the term, only a certain number will receive a grade. This way students will get weekly writing practice and you will not be compelled to grade each paper. Students will not know which papers will be graded so, hopefully, they will put some effort into each paper. Consider using a class listserv. This might best be done with a separate listserv for each discussion group. Have students post a certain number of contributions to an online discussion over the course of the term and ask them to archive these responses. By week 8 they should review their contributions and submit for grading what they consider to be their best thinking and most valuable contributions to the communal dialogue. Have them hand in copies of all their postings with X number of postings submitted for a grade. You can place parameters around the number of postings submitted each week, the length of the postings and the number turned in for a grade.

Extractions: Aloha High School Kathleen Cotton RESEARCH FINDINGS In order for students to develop skill in critical thinking, several elements of classroom and schoolwide climate and practice need to be present. According to Effective Schooling Practices: A Research Synthesis (Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory 1984), these include: At the classroom level: 1.2 There are high expectations for student learning. 1.3 Students are carefully oriented to lessons. Teachers help students get ready to learn. They explain lesson objectives in simple, everyday language and refer to them throughout lessons to maintain focus. Objectives may be posted or handed out to help students keep a sense of direction. Teachers check to see that objectives are understood. The relationship of a current lesson to previous study is described. Students are reminded of key concepts or skills previously covered.
CRITICAL THINKING, THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

http://sdb.bio.purdue.edu/SDBEduca/dany_adams/critical_thinking.html

Extractions: We all expect our students to come away from our classes knowing some of the facts; but more importantly we want our students to come away knowing how to think critically. Less clear is how to teach the process, perhaps because few of us learned it explicitly , perhaps because for those of us who make it to the level of teacher, critical thinking was in some sense intuitive and automatic. This is not the case for the majority of students. The good news is that because the scientific method is a formalization of critical thinking, it can be used as a simple model that removes critical thinking from the realm of the intuitive and puts it at the center of a straightforward, easily implemented, teaching strategy. I describe here the techniques I use to help students practice their thinking skills. These techniques are simply an expansion of the Evidence and Antibodies Sidelight in Gilbert's Developmental Biology (2000, Sinauer Associates); that is, I harp on correlation, necessity, and sufficiency, and the kinds of experiments required to gather each type of evidence. In my own class, an upper division Developmental Biology lecture class, I use these techniques, which include both verbal and written reinforcement, to encourage students to evaluate claims about cause and effect, that is, to distinguish between correlation and causation; however, I believe that with very slight modifications, these tricks can be applied in a much greater array of situations.

Extractions: Handy resource. This is a 10 page guide for teachers. Explains what critical thinking is, and strategies for enhancing it in the classroom. Originally intended for biology teachers, it should be useful for science teachers more generally. Was originally handout for participants in a workshop, but stands quite well on its own. Critical Thinking and the Scientific Method by Dany Adams A gem. "This is a poster about how I tweak my Developmental Biology lectures so that in addition to learning facts, concepts, and certain key experiments, the students learn the principles of the scientific method, and go away able to apply the thought process in other contexts. Because the scientific method is just a formalization of critical thinking, that means that the students become critical thinkers. And that is what I most want to teach." [22 Jul 02] UI Critical Thinking Handbook by Michael O'Rourke A rich resource for teachers, albeit a little dry and technical. Contains theory as well as a lot of practical guidelines, examples, etc.. "This handbook is intended...to supply a single, well-developed perspective on critical thinking, one that privileges clarity, systematicity, and rigor of thought. It is a perspective grounded in the analysis of the practice of argumentation, including both its rhetoric and its logic. The primary audience for this handbook is the university-level instructor at the University of Idaho who wishes to teach critical thinking skills explicitly in the classroom...However, the materials developed within can be used by teachers at any level who wish to emphasize systematic and careful thinking about arguments in any subject field."

The primary objective of the writing and critical thinking programme is to teach you how to write clearly. Each module focuses on a topic which you will explore from a variety of different disciplinary perspectives the humanities, sciences, social sciences, and technology. The majority of time in class will be spent on matters related to writing. Dr Ashley Stockstill In this course we will consider the rise of information technologies and their impact on our daily lives and social institutions.We will study a diverse range of papers from the fields of cultural theory, anthropology, business communication, information design, engineering, computer science and media studies as well as two short stories and the film Sneakers What, if anything, do medieval illuminated manuscripts have in common with modern-day manga? How can an everyday aesthetic such as cuteness play a role in serious art? Through continual exploration of both print and visual culture, this module invites students to begin considering questions such as the above. We will begin with examples of contemporary art which seem to transform mainstream concepts of cuteness into something darker. Our next unit considers aesthetic changes to the printed page, comparing medieval illustrated texts and iconography with examples of contemporary graphic novels and digital culture. Finally, we will examine the effects of transformation and revision in various media, viewing examples such as Hayao Miyazaki's film

http://www.therighteducation.com/about/index.cfm

Extractions: The Right Education's focus is to provide students with an educational learning system in which to consistently learn the skills of critical thinking and problem solving. Why critical thinking and problem solving? We focus on these skills because it is these higher-order thinking skills that determine how well a student uses new information and students are constantly being presented with new information. In order for students to take full advantage of what they read, critical thinking and problem solving are must have skills. Education is also about learning to be creative, constructive and useful with information and skills. In simple terms, education is about making intellectual connections. It is about knowing how to connect the information and skills you know today to help solve a problem for tomorrow. The Right Education software is designed to stimulate and grow these connections in the minds of today's students. Organizations and teachers can also use our software to improve on their capabilities to create critical thinking assignments and problem solving exercises for their students. The software allows for multiple layers of complexity within the same assignment thereby eliminating the need to completely rewrite assignments just to accommodate different grade levels. The rules-based logic engine makes sure that the information placed in the system moves in a way that teaches students "how" and "what" you want them to learn. There is also a corresponding XML based data engine, which means that the learning system's logic software can read and incorporate information from all computer systems. Whatever your school's or organization's computer system, our logic engine can work seamlessly with it. All you need to do is create the text for the assignment and our system automatically builds the teaching platform for you.

ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education, Urbana, Ill. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC The need to teach higher order thinking skills is not a recent one. Education pundits have called for renewed interest in problem solving for years. As far back as 1967, Raths, Jonas, Rothstein and Wassermann (1967) decried the lack of emphasis on thinking in the schools. They noted that "...memorization, drill, homework, the three Rs That students are lagging in problem-solving and thinking skills is apparent at all levels of education. However, critical thinking courses and texts, in particular, may result in fragmentation of thinking skills. Thinking cannot be divorced from content; in fact, thinking is a way of learning content (Raths and others, 1967). In every course, and especially in content subjects, students should be taught to think logically, analyze and compare, question and evaluate. Skills taught in isolation do little more than prepare students for tests of isolated skills (Spache and Spache, 1986). The same criticism may be made with regard to commercial thinking skills materials. However, when such materials are integrated with content, they may become effective tools for attacking real issues.
