Introduction to Critical Thinking SkillsHanis Razak
This document discusses an introduction to critical thinking skills. It begins by outlining the learning outcomes, which are to explain critical thinking, describe the critical thinking process, apply brainstorming techniques, describe characteristics of critical thinkers, and highlight the importance of critical thinking for students. It then discusses various critical thinking tools and provides exercises to practice skills like interpretation, analysis, inference, evaluation, and explanation. It also covers critical thinking standards and barriers to critical thinking. In the end, it notes that critical thinking is important for students because it benefits academic performance, workplace skills, and daily life decisions.
Critical thinking is reflective reasoning about beliefs and actions used to determine if claims are true. It traces to Socratic questioning in Ancient Greece and involves examining propositions to assess if they correspond to reality. Critical thinking requires skills like observation, interpretation, evaluation, and inference as well as intellectual traits like open-mindedness, integrity, and courage. The purpose is to use reason to improve the quality of thinking on any subject.
1. The document provides an introduction to critical thinking, outlining key concepts such as the definition of thinking, types of thinking, definitions of critical thinking, critical thinking skills, standards of critical thinking, benefits of and barriers to critical thinking, and characteristics of a critical thinker.
2. Critical thinking is defined as purposeful, organized cognitive processes used to make sense of the world, while critical thinking skills emphasized include reasoning, analyzing, evaluating, decision making, and problem solving.
3. Barriers to critical thinking discussed include egocentrism, unwarranted assumptions, sociocentrism, relativistic thinking, and wishful thinking. Characteristics of a critical thinker center around traits like
Critical thinking involves clear, logical thinking and the ability to engage in independent analysis. It includes skills like understanding logical connections, evaluating arguments, detecting flaws in reasoning, and solving problems systematically. Someone with strong critical thinking abilities will ask thoughtful questions, assess statements carefully, consider multiple viewpoints, and adjust their views based on new evidence. Writing effective critical thinking questions (CTQs) requires finding a meaningful topic and formulating open-ended questions that get beneath the surface using techniques like Socratic questioning and Bloom's Taxonomy.
This document discusses critical thinking and problem solving. It defines critical thinking as looking more deeply at problems than the first solution, understanding implications rather than just stated information, and applying logic while avoiding emotion.

Critical thinking involves actively conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, and evaluating information. It requires being open-minded and willing to challenge one's beliefs. The critical thinking process involves informing oneself, discovering and analyzing issues more deeply, and testing and revising ideas. Critical thinking improves focus, communication, and alternative perspectives. Arguments are claims supported by evidence, and can be either constructive aimed at resolution, or destructive aimed at "winning."
Critical thinking involves several key abilities: the ability to think clearly and rationally, to engage in independent and reflective thought, to understand logical connections between ideas, and to identify, construct and evaluate arguments. It also involves detecting inconsistencies in reasoning, solving problems systematically, identifying the relevance of ideas, and reflecting on one's own beliefs and values. Several types of questions can be asked to practice critical thinking, including questions for clarification, questions that probe assumptions, questions about viewpoints and perspectives, and questions that probe reasons and evidence or ask about the initial question.
Critical thinking is reasonable reflective thinking focused on deciding what to believe or do. Critical thinkers are intellectually curious, seek answers to various questions and problems, are open-minded and accept a variety of positions if valid, know how to handle confusion by avoiding quick decisions, avoid irrelevant information, are able to control their emotions, are sensitive to others, and know when to admit they don't know something. Critical thinking is a learned skill essential for making decisions and can be improved through education.
On the importance of critical thinking skills and how to teach them - presented at the eLearning Consortium of Colorado (eLCC) Conference, April 18, 2014 - Breckenridge, CO
Critical thinking is an important skill that employers value. Educators often think employers want students to have specific job skills, but employers actually want students who can think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems. Critical thinking involves skills like reflecting, analyzing information from different perspectives, and challenging assumptions. It is a flexible tool that can be applied to various areas of life. While people naturally think critically, it can be improved by making the process more explicit and systematic.
The presentation on critical thinking was given by Adrian Gonzalez and Victor Campo. It began with an introductory video and discussed the origin of critical thinking dating back to Socrates. Critical thinking was defined as the ability to think clearly and rationally about what to do or believe by engaging in reflective and independent thinking. Questioning plays an important role in defining our thinking and seeking relevant information. Elements of reasoning and the importance of critical thinking as a domain-general skill for the knowledge economy, language skills, creativity, self-reflection, and science were also covered.

How to develop critical thinking mark kaprielian bmark1967
Critical thinking involves effective problem solving and constant evaluation. It takes time and effort to develop these skills through daily practice of habits like asking questions, examining evidence, and analyzing assumptions without bias. Ultimately, critical thinking aims for a fair and open-minded approach to seeking truth.
This document summarizes a professional development session on developing critical thinking skills. It defines critical thinking and provides different definitions from experts. It discusses why critical thinking is important for teaching and learning. It outlines strategies to improve critical thinking like questioning, group activities, and connecting lessons to students' experiences. Barriers to critical thinking like biases and assumptions are presented. Characteristics of a critical thinker are described. The session concludes with a discussion on benefits of critical thinking for academics, workplace and daily life.
This document discusses creative thinking and problem solving techniques. It defines creativity as creating something new and valuable, like an idea or solution. Creative thinking involves looking at problems with a fresh perspective to suggest unorthodox solutions. Several creative thinking techniques are presented, including brainstorming, focus groups, attribute analysis, and the 6 hats method. Brainstorming rules like deferring judgment and encouraging unusual ideas are outlined. Exercises are provided for participants to practice applying these techniques by developing scenarios in groups and choosing the best solutions. The document encourages using different perspectives like facts, creativity, benefits, cautions, and process to think through problems.

Chapter 1
1.1 What Is Critical Thinking?
What is critical thinking? What is a critical thinker? Why do you need a guide to think critically? These are good questions, but ones that are seldom asked. Sometimes people are afraid to ask questions because they think that doing so will make them seem ignorant to others. But admitting you do not know something is actually the only way to learn new things and better understand what others are trying to tell you.
There are differing views about what critical thinking is. For the most part, people take bits and pieces of these views and carry on with their often imprecise—and sometimes conflicting—assumptions of what critical thinking may be. However, one of the ideas we will discuss in this book is the fundamental importance of seeking truth. To this end, let us unpack the term critical thinking to better understand its meaning.
First, the word thinking can describe any number of cognitive activities, and there is certainly more than one way to think. We can think analytically, creatively, strategically, and so on (Sousa, 2011). When we think analytically, we take the whole that we are examining—this could be a term, a situation, a scientific phenomenon—and attempt to identify its components. The next step is to examine each component individually and understand how it fits with the other components. For example, we are currently examining the meaning of each of the words in the term critical thinking so we can have a better understanding of what they mean together as a whole.
Analytical thinking is the kind of thinking mostly used in academia, science, and law (including crime scene investigation). In ordinary life, however, you engage in analytical thinking more often than you imagine. For example, think of a time when you felt puzzled by someone else’s comment. You might have.

The document discusses the multiplier effect in economics. It defines the multiplier effect as how an initial injection of spending, such as increased government spending, creates a ripple effect that increases overall output and employment. It works through consumers receiving more income and spending more, which further increases income and demand. The multiplier is the ratio of the total change in income to the initial change in spending. The document also outlines the assumptions and limitations of the multiplier model, and describes how the multiplier effect can occur through both static and dynamic processes.
Case: Maggi Noodles safety concerns in India 2015 (Excessive lead MSG content)Prinson Rodrigues
The document discusses the 2015 controversy regarding excessive lead levels found in Maggi noodles in India. Authorities in Uttar Pradesh found MSG and lead levels above permissible limits in samples in 2014-2015. Nestle India voluntarily stopped selling Maggi noodles in June 2015. While Nestle argued they do not add MSG and lead levels were low, the Bombay High Court initially banned but later overturned the ban in August 2015 after required tests found noodles safe. The government still filed a lawsuit against Nestle seeking damages.
The document outlines a 6-step process for problem solving:
1. Define the problem clearly and check that it is properly understood. This may involve breaking large problems into smaller sub-problems.
2. Analyze the current situation and environment to fully understand the problem and what needs to change. Check that the problem definition is still valid.
3. Generate as many potential solutions as possible without evaluating them yet.
4. Analyze each solution, noting its advantages and disadvantages without judging overall viability.
5. Evaluate the solutions by considering all factors to select the best one(s) to implement.
6. Plan specific next steps to implement the solution and ensure the problem gets resolved.

THE WORLD AS WE HAVE CREATED IT,
IS A PROCESS OF OUR THINKING. IT
CANNOT BE CHANGED WITHOUT
CHANGING OUR THINKING
- Albert
Einstein
3. SO LET’S SEE WHAT THINKING IS…??
Thought can refer to the ideas or arrangements of ideas that
result from thinking, the act of producing thoughts, or the
process of producing thoughts. Although thought is a
fundamental human activity familiar to everyone, there is no
generally accepted agreement as to what thought is or how it is
created.
Its most simplistic, where an individual, in reaction to a range of
stimuli, starts a process that modifies or strengthens their world
view, beliefs, opinions, attitudes, and behaviours.
4. WHEN DO WE
THINK…???
• Advice
• Considering
• Remembering
• Linear
• Judgement
• Visioning
• Reflecting
• Innovation
5. WHAT ARE THINKING SKILLS ?
Thinking skills are the mental processes that we apply when we
seek to make sense of experience. Thinking skills enable us to
integrate each new experience into the schema that we are
constructing of "how things are". It is apparent that better
thinking will help us to learn more from our experience and to
make better use of our intelligence.
It has always been the central aim of education to improve the
quality of thinking because better thinking will not only enable
us to become more successful at learning but will also equip us
for life, enabling us to realise our own potential and to
contribute to the development of society.
6. WHAT ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
THINKING SKILLS??
• Interpretation – Ability to understand the information
• Analysis – Ability to connect pieces of the information
• Inference – Understand & recognize what elements you
need
• Evaluation – Ability to Evaluate the credibility
• Explanation – Ability to restate the information
7. WHAT IS CRITICAL THINKING ?
• Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally about what to do
or what to believe. It includes the ability to engage in reflective and
independent thinking. Someone with critical thinking skills is able to
understand the logical connections between ideas.
• Critical thinking is not a matter of accumulating information. A person with
a good memory and who knows a lot of facts is not necessarily good at
critical thinking. A critical thinker is able to deduce consequences from what
he knows, and he knows how to make use of information to solve problems,
and to seek relevant sources of information to inform himself.
8. WE THINK CRITICALLY AND IN A
PROBLEM SOLVING MIND-SET WHEN
WE :
• Rely on reason rather than emotion
• Evaluate a broad range of viewpoints and perspectives
• Maintain an open mind to alternative interpretations
• Accept new evidence, explanations and findings
• Are willing to reassess information
• Can put aside personal prejudices and biases
• Consider all reasonable possibilities
• Avoid hasty judgments
• Like any other skill, learning to think critically or problem-solve takes
time, perseverance and practice. Knowing which steps to take and how to
apply them helps us master the process.
9. STEPS TO CRITICAL THINKING AS IT
RELATES TO PROBLEM SOLVING :
• Identify the Problem. The first task is to determine if a problem exists.
Sometimes when you think this point through, you may come to the
conclusion that there really isn't a problem, just a misunderstanding. If that's
the case, fine. If not, and you determine that there is indeed a problem, you
need to identify exactly what it is. how systematically someone weighs the
pros and cons of a problem and how clearly the person can define and state
it, is also an indication of highly developed intelligence.
• Analyze the problem, look at it from different angles. Once you've
determined the problem, analyze it by looking at it from a variety of
perspectives. Is it solvable? Is it real or perceived? Can you solve it alone or
do you need help? Sometimes by looking at it from many angles you can
come up with a resolution right away. You may also reveal a bias or narrow
point of view that needs to be broadened
10. • Brainstorm and come up with a several possible
solutions. Problems can be solved in many ways. Brainstorm a list
of several possible solutions. Put down anything that comes to
mind and then go over the list and narrow it down to the best
possibilities. Having several viable options leads to obtaining the
best results.
• Decide which solution fits the situation best. Go over your list
of possible solutions. Different situations call for different
solutions. Quite often what works in one situation, may not work in
a similar one. Take time to determine what will work best for the
problem at hand. One solution usually does not fit all.
11. • Take action. Implement your solution. Every problem has a
solution; even if it is to accept the situation and move on.
Instead of approaching problems and challenges as
insurmountable obstacles, we can view them as opportunities to
hone our critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Every problem we are able to resolve increases self-
confidence and self-worth. Thinking critically not only helps us
handle future challenges more skilfully, it also broadens our life
experience and helps us gain perspective.
12.
13. CRITICAL THINKING ENABLES A PERSON
TO:
• Think about and evaluate their own thinking and behaviour on various
issues.
• Make reasonable and defensible decisions about issues related to
individual and community well-being
• Challenge and take action (individually and collectively) to address
social, cultural, economic, and political inequalities
• Understand the role and significance of the culture and its influence
on our daily lives and the lives of people in our community
14. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THINKING & CRITICAL THINKING?
• Critical thinking is controlled, purposeful & more likely to lead to
obvious beneficial results.
• Thinking is basically any mental activity which can be aimless &
uncontrolled; it may serve a purpose, but we often aren’t aware of its
benefits ,we might not even remember our thoughts at all.
15. WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF
CRITICAL THINKING?
i. It is rational & reflective.
ii. It involves healthy, constructive skepticism.
iii. It is autonomous.
iv. It includes creative thinking.
v. It is fair thinking.
vi. It focuses on what to believe & do.
16. WHAT ARE ATTITUDES OF CRITICAL
THINKERS?
They are:
1. Active thinkers.
2. Knowledgeable of their biases & limitations.
3. Fair-minded.
4. Good communicators.
5. Empathetic.
6. Open-minded.
7. Independent thinkers.
17. 9. Curious & insightful.
10. Humble.
11. Honest with themselves & others, admitting when their
thinking may be flawed or requires more thought.
12. Organized & systematic in their approach.
13. Flexible.
14. Realistic
15. Creative
16. Team Players
18. ARE CRITICAL THINKING & PROBLEM
SOLVING THE SAME?
•NO. They are sometimes used interchangeably
but are separate processes that are related in
some situations. Not all decisions we make
involve solving a problem; creativity is a form
of critical thinking itself.
19. EMOTION AND CRITICAL THINKING
Emotions (or the self system) drive almost everything we do.
Emotions are the key element in decision making and learning,
and central to the process of rational thought. When patients have
lost the regions of their brain (such as through the removal of a
tumor) that allow them to experience emotions, their decision
making ability goes completely haywire. Their intelligence can be
working perfectly, but without emotions to guide one's
intelligence, logical decisions cannot be made.
20. HOW TO START THINKING CRITICALLY
?
A) Maintain a Journal : Each week, write out a certain number of
journal entries. Use the following format (keeping each numbered
stage separate):
1. Situation. Describe a situation that is, or was, emotionally
significant to you (that is, that you deeply care about). Focus on
one situation at a time.
2. Your Response. Describe what you did in response to that
situation. Be specific and exact.
3. Analysis. Then analyse, in the light of what you have written,
what precisely was going on in the situation. Dig beneath the
surface.
21. B) Get in touch with your emotions : Whenever you feel
some negative emotion, systematically ask yourself: What,
exactly, is the thinking leading to this emotion? For
example, if you are angry, ask yourself, what is the thinking
that is making me angry? What other ways could I think
about this situation? For example, can you think about the
situation so as to see the humour in it and what is pitiable
in it? If you can, concentrate on that thinking and your
emotions will (eventually) shift to match it.
22. C) Redefine the Way You See Things. We live in a world, both personal
and social, in which every situation is “defined,” that is, given a
meaning. How a situation is defined determines not only how we feel
about it, but also how we act in it, and what implications it has for us.
However, virtually every situation can be defined in more than one way.
This fact carries with it tremendous opportunities. In principle, it lies
within your power and mind to make our lives more happy and fulfilling
than they are. Many of the negative definitions that we give to
situations in our lives could in principle be transformed into positive
ones. We can be happy when otherwise we would have been sad.
