Introduction To Critical Thinking
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
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.
Critical thinking
Critical thinking is a intellectually disciplined process of actively and skilfully conceptualising, applying, synthesising and evaluating information gathered by observation, experience, reasoning or communication as a guide to belief and action.
Critical thinking skills ppt
This document outlines a training on critical thinking skills. The objectives are to explain what critical thinking is and how to improve these abilities for effective decision making. After the training, participants will understand techniques for making judgments and decisions through critical analysis. The training covers defining critical thinking, the components of critical thinking like interpretation and evaluation, developing the right attitude, and three techniques to improve skills: questioning claims and evidence, considering counter examples, and imagining how one's beliefs could be wrong.

Critical Thinking
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.
What is critical thinking
Critical thinking is the process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information. It involves making reasoned judgments through a framework that includes identifying problems, gathering and assessing relevant evidence, recognizing assumptions, and considering alternative solutions and their implications. Logical reasoning is a core part of critical thinking and can take the form of deductive or inductive arguments. Training in critical thinking helps develop skills in logical decision making, persuasive writing and interviews, and intelligent discussion.
Critical Thinking: Building Good Judgement
This document discusses critical thinking, including definitions, types of thinking, the components and benefits of critical thinking, and barriers to critical thinking. It defines critical thinking as the process of purposeful, self-regulatory judgment using evidence and reasoning. Some key points made include: critical thinking involves analyzing, evaluating, and making reasonable decisions; it benefits academic and workplace performance as well as daily life; barriers include uncritical thinking being common and critical thinking being difficult; and characteristics of a critical thinker are being open-minded, honest, and willing to welcome criticism.

Critical Thinking
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.

It defines critical thinking as an active cognitive process used to identify assumptions, explore alternatives, and make decisions. The document outlines Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive domains - knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. It provides examples of how to develop these skills through activities that encourage logical thinking, reasoning, creative thinking, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The document emphasizes developing these skills is important for students to become independent thinkers who can make evidence-based decisions.
An Introduction to Critical Thinking
Here is how I would approach this problem using critical thinking:
1. Carefully examine the problem and understand the goal (connect all 9 dots using 4 straight lines without lifting your pen).
2. Consider alternative approaches and think creatively ("outside the box"). The typical way of connecting dots line-by-line won't work here.
3. Apply logical reasoning and recognize patterns (the dots are arranged in a 3x3 grid).
4. Draw lines diagonally between opposite corners to form an X shape, then draw the remaining horizontal and vertical lines to connect all dots.
By taking an unconventional approach, thinking flexibly about different connections between dots, and applying logical reasoning to recognize the underlying pattern

Extra Credit Chapter 10
There are three types of questions: factual questions which have a correct answer, interpretive questions which can have multiple valid answers supported by evidence, and opinion questions where the answer cannot be proven right or wrong. For a question to be considered an issue relevant to the claim being discussed, it must be introduced by either side and both sides have a right to ask questions. There are four patterns of analysis that can help identify key arguments: cost/benefit analysis, priorities analysis, programs analysis, and continuities analysis. Potential issues are all possible questions, admitted issues are agreed upon, and ultimate issues alone determine the disposition of the claim.
How we use issues, analysis, and
1) Critical thinking involves asking questions to gain knowledge on a subject from various sources like the internet, books, and experts. There are three main types of questions: factual, interpretive, and opinion.
2) Research is conducted using three main forms: exploratory, constructive, and empirical to gain new knowledge and share findings. Analysis methods like cost/benefit, priorities, program, and brainstorming are used to identify key argument points.
3) Issue discovery is a crucial part of critical thinking that involves categorizing contradictions and uncertainties to find the most important issues to address, which then form the basis for contentions that support a position on a claim.
Caitlins Powerpoint
Critical thinking is a skill that must be developed, not something we are born with. It involves analyzing arguments and claims to determine their validity based on evidence. There are degrees of certainty, and different people have different thresholds for what they consider valid. When evaluating an argument, it is important to understand the type of claim being made (fact, value, or policy), who has the burden of proof, and what key issues need to be addressed to make an informed decision. While knowledge and intelligence are important, critical thinking is a separate skill that must be deliberately trained through practice.
PPT RAW LESSON3 - Critical Reading, Assertion, Claims
Critical reading involves actively engaging with what an author is trying to say by asking questions about the main argument. It does not necessarily mean being critical of the text itself. There are three common types of claims an author can make: claims of fact, which can be proven true or false; claims of value, which make judgments based on standards of what is good or bad; and claims of policy, which attempt to persuade the reader to take action. Identifying the type of claim an author makes is an important part of critically reading a text.
Critical and Analytical ThinkingCritical thinkin.docx
Critical and Analytical Thinking
Critical thinkingWord ‘critical’ has positive and negative meaningsThe word ‘critical’ in academia describes your attitude when reading an article/chapterBeing critical means weighing up the arguments for and against a particular point.
*
Not just the bad parts
How to think criticallyBe persistent – consider an issue carefully more than onceLook at the evidence for a viewpoint – evaluate it – what are they trying to ‘sell’ me?What are the implications of a view point – is it realistic and rational?Knowing facts and what is right is not what academics is aboutIt is important to identify strengths, satisfactory points and weaknesses when being critical – then you must know why this is soYou should be critical when reading, writing and listening
*
Need to fully understand an argument before you can be critical – be confident
Evaluate=what is the value/effectiveness of something, inc. own opinion and supporting each point with evidence
Question the credibility
You are just assessing ideas not learning the answers
Only want informed opinions
Analytical thinkingBeing analytical mean to look deeper into what is being saidDo not take what you read as ‘given’Evaluate what is being argued – do you agree with it?To be analytical is to question what you read
*
Not just reading what is said but ‘thinking’ about it
How to think analyticallyThink about the view point in relation to the bigger picture – stand backCompare the same issue from the point of other authors – do their views differ?Should be able to see why authors have arrived at different conclusionsYou should be able to argue why you think one set of view points is preferable to anotherYou should be analytical when reading, writing and listening
*
Think about your readings together, put into context
You should be asking why a conclusion has been made – need full understanding for this
Barriers to critical and analytical thinkingBeing critical does not just mean criticiseOur reasoning skills are not objective – we are biased ourselvesReluctance to criticise expertsWanting to know what is right and wrongNot reading deeply enough around a subject – surface knowledge
*
Not always black and white there are lots of grey areas in academics
Being analytical and critical is hard work, you have to read carefully and widely
Critical and analytical readingPrepare for critical reading – skim read the introduction and conclusionFind the conclusions first to help clarify the rest of the readingWhat is the underlying argument/ view point?Question hidden agendas or assumptionsTheory can help fill in the gaps – what is theory?
- set of ideas to explain why something happens and predict outcomes in the futureArguments are often based on theory but an argument is not always a theory
Critical and analytical readingWhere is the evidence for a view point?Check references – are they presented accurately and are they credible? - evaluate that evidence –.
Position Paper FormatA position paper presents an argu
A position paper presents an arguable stance on an issue in order to persuade the audience that the author's opinion is valid. The author must examine all sides of the issue and support their argument with evidence from factual knowledge, statistics, informed opinions, and personal testimony. A strong position paper will have a clear thesis, summarize counterarguments and refute them with evidence, and provide at least three sources to support the author's claims over the course of a two-page, single-spaced paper following the specified format of an introduction, counterargument, argument, and conclusion sections.
Q4-EAPP.pptx
This document provides guidance on writing a position paper. It explains that a position paper presents an arguable opinion on an issue and aims to convince the audience that the opinion is valid. It stresses the importance of addressing all sides of the issue, supporting arguments with evidence, and considering the audience. The document outlines steps for choosing a topic, researching both sides, selecting a position, and determining an introduction, body, and conclusion structure for the paper.
READING & WRITING 11 module 3.pptx
This document discusses defining claims and critical reading. It defines a claim as the central argument or thesis of a text that a writer is trying to persuade the reader of. There are three main types of claims: claims of fact which are verifiable statements, claims of value which make judgments about what is good/bad, and claims of policy which suggest actions to solve problems. Critical reading involves engaging with what an author is trying to say by asking questions about the main argument and thinking within and beyond the text. Effective readers form evaluative statements by making assertions about a text's content/properties and counterclaims that respond to the author's claims.
Argument pp 1
This document provides an overview of the key elements of an effective argument, including:
1. The claim, which is the central proposition or thesis being argued. There are three main types: claims of fact, value, and policy.
2. Supporting evidence and appeals that are used to convince the audience of the claim.
3. An explicit or implicit warrant that links the claim and support and allows the audience to make the same connection.
It also discusses important considerations like understanding the audience, establishing credibility, choosing an appropriate claim, using reliable sources, avoiding logical errors, and using clear language. The goal is to influence the audience through reasoned discourse.
EAPP-Position-Paper.pptx
The document provides guidance on how to write an effective position paper by outlining the structure and elements to include.

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.
