I used this for our reporting when I was Grade 11, hope that I can help. Thank you!

6. *
• Subject is complex and several
different definations exist, which
generally include the rational,
skeptical, unbiased analysis, or
evaluation of factual evidence.

7. CRITICAL THINKING SKILL
REASONING
EVALUATING
PROBLEM SOLVING
DECISION MAKING
ANALYZING

8.  Ability to think clearly and rationally
about what to believe
 It entails effective communication and
problem solving abilities as well as a
commitment to overcome our native
egocentrism and sociocentrism

10.  Established the fact that one
cannot depend upon those
in “authority” to have sound
knowledge and insight

11.  Demonstrated that person
may have power and high
position and yet be deeply
confused and irrational

12.  Established the importance of
asking deep questions that
probe profoundly into thinking
before we accept idea as worthy
of belief

13.  Established the important of seeking
evidence, closely examining, reasoning,
and assumption, analyzing basic
concept and tracing out implications
not only of what is said but of what is
done as well

14. “SOCRATIC
QUESTIONING”
 The best know critical thinking teaching strategy
 It highlighted he need for thinking for clarity and
logical consistency
 Socrates asked people question to reavel their
irrational thinking or lack of reliable knowledge

15. RICHARD N. PAUL
(1994)
- He described CRITICAL
THINKING as a movement in three waves.

16. First Wave:
Often referred to as a
thinking involving critique. Its
details vary amongst those who
define it.

17. Second Wave:
Lacking grounding in any one field of
study,represents a loose conglomeration
of interested persons producing work of
mixed quality,developed from many
different standpoints.

18. THIRD WAVE:
Represents a commitment to
transcend the predominant
weaknesses of the first two
waves.

19. BARRY K. BEYER (1995)
- Critical thinking means making
clear,reasoned judgments. During the
process of critical thinking,ideas should
be reasoned,well thought out,and judged.

20. The U.S. NATONAL COUNCIL for EXCELLENCE in
CRITICAL THINKING
- Defines critical thinking as the intellectually disciplined
process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing,applying,
analyzing , synthesizing, or evaluating information gathered
from or generated by observation, experience , reflection,
reasoning or communication as a guid to belief and action

21. The ability to reason logically is a
fundamental skill of rational agents,
hence the study of the form of
correct argumentation is relevant to
the study of the critical thinking

22. According to Reynolds (2011), an individual or group
engaged in a strong way of critical thinking gives due
consideration to establish for instance:
* Evidence through reality
* Context skills to isolate the problem from context
* Relevant criteria for making the judgment well
* Applicable methods or techniques for forming the judgment
* Applicable theoretical constructs for understanding the problem and the
question at hand

23. NOTE:
Critical thinking employs not only logic but
broad intellectual criteria such as
clarity, credibility, accuracy, precision, relevance,
depth, breadth, significance, and fairness.

24. CRITICAL
READING

25. a form of language analysis that does not
take the given text at face value, but
involves a deeper examination of the
claims put forth as well as the supporting
points and possible counter
arguments.

26. This is a process of reading that
goes beyond just understanding a
text.

27. "...a story has as many versions as it
has readers. Everyone takes what he
wants or can from it and thus changes
it to his measure. Some pick out parts
and reject the rest, some strain the
story through their mesh of prejudice,
some paint it with their own delight."
— John Steinbeck, The
Winter of Our Discontent (1961)

28. hermeneutic circle
demonstrates, the understanding of single words
depends on the understanding of the text as a whole
(as well as the culture in which the text is produced)
and vice versa: You cannot understand a text if you
do not understand the words in the text.

29. A critical reader, any single text provides
but one portrayal of the facts.
Critical readers thus recognize not only
what a text says,but also how that text
portrays the subject matter.

30. THREE STEPS OF MODES OF
ANALYSIS:
• What a text says – restatement – talks about the same
topic as the original text
• What a text does- description- discussion itself
• What a text means- interpretation- analyzes the text
and asserts a meaning for the text as a whole

31. GOALS OF CRITICAL
READING
• To recognize an author’s purpose
• To understand tone and persuasive
elements
• To recognize bias

32. CRITICAL
WRITING

33. Involves considering evidence to make
reasoned conclusions. A mistake many
beginning writers make is to use only one
source to support their ideas.

34. • Critical writing uses more than one source
in developing an argument
• Evaluates and analyses the information
from different sources.

35. NOTE:
It is a writing which evaluates and
analyses more than one source in
order to develop an argument.

36. Critical Writing is not necessarily writing
about the topic in a negative way; it is simply
making sure that you have considered all sides
of the argument.
