CRITICAL THINKING - Teaching Research Skills Introduction During the first three weeks of class seminar students spend the majority of their time doing research on their topic to uncover necessary background information and to help them develop ideas for possible solutions. Students will need guidance during this time.They will benefit greatly from a presentation or activity that introduces them to the concept of developing a research strategy. To reinforce presentation develop an assignment that requires students to work in groups to develop their own research strategy based on one of the models. Then, let students know that the class will be interdependent. Each group will depend on the other groups research. Share with them a set of performance standards for research this will help students understand what you expect and lead to stronger research presentations. In the electronic age, the knowing how to access information is not as important as knowing how to evaluate facts and information efficiently. As a result many information technology departments at universities and secondary schools are putting together strategies for teaching students to move efficiently through the research process. For a brief introduction to the reasoning behind the curriculum work being done on the research cycle check out this short article

44. Critical And Creative Thinking of structuring activities, assignments and lessons which incorporate all of theseaspects of critical and creative thinking into the subjects which they teach. http://www.sasked.gov.sk.ca/docs/policy/cels/el4.html

Chapter IV: Critical and Creative Thinking: The goal of incorporating critical and creative thinking processes into Saskatchewan's K-12 curricula is to develop individuals who value knowledge, learning and the creative process, who can and will think for themselves, yet recognize the limits of individual reflection and the need to contribute to and build upon mutual understandings of social situations. What is desired are students who have purposes for learning, know how and when to question, who recognize when more information is needed and the type of knowledge which is required, know how to find and organize information, and who can generate and evaluate a number of alternatives to human problems. Definition Rationale The Teacher's Role Teachers as models ... Summary Definition Critical and Creative Thinking can be described as qualities of good thinking processes and as types of thinking. Creative thinking is generally considered to be involved with the creation or generation of ideas, processes, experiences or objects; critical thinking is concerned with their evaluation. Critical and creative thinking are interrelated and complementary aspects of thinking. Almost all of the thinking which we undertake contains some critical and some creative aspects. For example, when we try to solve real life problems we move back and forth several times between creative and critical reflection2 as we develop solutions or weigh the consequences of any one solution. It is important, therefore, that any attempts to improve thinking abilities pay attention to both critical and creative aspects of thinking.

ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Shermis, S. Samuel Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Reading English and Communication Bloomington IN. Reflective Thought, Critical Thinking. ERIC Digest D143. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC INTRODUCTION This digest concerns itself with the origin of reflective thought, the application of theories about reflective thought to classrooms, conflicts and issues, and a synthesis of the essential ideas. ORIGIN OF THE IDEA OF REFLECTIVE THOUGHT The concept "reflective thought" was introduced by John Dewey in 1910 in his "How We Think", a work designed for teachers. Dewey admitted a debt to both his contemporaries in philosophy, William James, and Charles S. Peirce. Dewey's most basic assumption was that learning improves to the degree that it arises out of the process of reflection. As time went on, terminology concerning reflection proliferated, spawning a host of synonyms, such as "critical thinking," "problem solving," and " higher level thought." DEFINITIONS Dewey's definition of reflective thinking repeated over the years was: "Active, persistent, and careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the grounds that support it and the further conclusion to which it tends". (Dewey, 1933)

Click here if you don't know your user name or password. Welcome to PHIL 137, Critical Thinking . This unit aims to teach the fundamentals of critical thinking and reasoning. You will learn how to construct, analyse and critically evaluate arguments, how to detect common fallacies in reasoning, and how to think logically and creatively. We teach these skills by looking at arguments from business, law, science, politics, philosophy and articles from newspapers and journals. These sorts of critical thinking skills are an invaluable background, not just for those working in philosophy and the humanities, but for students in any area.

49. Terzian Brings Back Carl Sagan's Critical-thinking Course Now I have more time, and I am putting a lot of concentration into teaching, said Terzian. I think it is important to teach critical thinking. . http://www.news.cornell.edu/Chronicle/00/11.30.00/critical-think-course.html

Terzian brings back Carl Sagan's famous critical-thinking course By Jeff Evans '01 Recently, students in Astronomy 490, a course for upper-level undergraduates, sat for an examination that was curiously open-ended and speculative, by Cornell standards: They had to predict humanity's future in 1,000, 10,000, 1 million and even 1 billion years. Their answers were to a series of questions asked by Yervant Terzian, the astronomy department's venerable former long-time chair and the David C. Duncan Professor in the Physical Sciences. Professor Yervant Terzian, left, leads Astronomy 490, Crititical Thinking, in 105 Space Sciences, with students from several Cornell colleges, including from left, Matt Dombrow, Agriculture and Life Sciences; Kim Smith, Engineering; Anish Aggarwal, Engineering; Jason Neuswanger, Arts and Sciences; Eli Schwartzberg, Hotel Administration; and Eathen Gums IV, Architecture, Art and Planning. Robert Barker/University Photography There were questions about the length of human life in the future, the present "goal" of humanity and whether humans will contact extraterrestrials. The answers, which had to be clearly rationalized and critically explained, provided unique insights into student thinking. Most students suggested that the search for happiness will continue to dominate as humanity's goal 1 billion years into the future. Some noted that humans will have evolved into something different even a million years from now, making it difficult to speculate on many of the questions, such as humanity's future "goal" and the human life span.

52. The Web Demands Critical Thinking By Students technologies also is changing the way in which professors teach, making essential Tocite this page The Web Demands critical thinking by Students http//www http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~wilkins/html/web_caution.html

The Web Demands Critical Thinking by Students By Kari Boyd McBride and Ruth Dickstein Scholarly resources abound on the Internet along with unfounded claims and librarians have not assessed the reliability of the information before students use it Some critics of the World-Wide Web question its usefulness as a scholarly resource, especially for undergraduates, who may rely exclusively on it for their research. But the Web will continue to affect learning, and we believe that professors and librarians must take on the task of equipping students to examine the information available there critically. In assignments that we have given to our students asking them to use Web sites and other material in their research, we have not found that the Web has adversely affected the quality of their writing. Instead, we have found that the public nature of communication on the Web can help us teach students to be better readers, writers, and thinkers. Thus, the problems posed by the Web have become opportunities. Many college students do find it a challenge to construct a complex argument, especially in writing. But it is not just the Web that has taught them to think in sound bites. Several aspects of our culture from politics to MTV value the obfuscating over the lucid, the nugatory over the thoughtful, the insipid over the challenging.

"Critical thinking should be taught particularly to young children," Randi said, "because they are going to run the world after we are gone." Around 150 atheists attended the convention in Piscataway to support atheist youth and families, said Ellen Johnson , the organization's president. One of the main concerns of the group is unconstitutional religious expression in public schools, said Johnson. "We are also against child circumcision in the name of religion."
