Marxism is a socialist movement founded by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels that aims to emancipate the working class from domination by the bourgeoisie. Marx believed that class is defined by one's relationship to the means of production, and identified the proletariat and bourgeoisie as the main social classes under capitalism. Marxism views material reality and economic conditions as the primary determinants of social and political structures. While Marx did not write directly about education, his ideas implied that education should aim to transform society, involve all people in revolution, and prepare individuals to challenge the ruling class. Critics argue that Marxism neglects human nature and conditions, and lacks academic freedom for students.
The document discusses promoting student understanding rather than just knowledge recall. It outlines an upcoming workshop on Understanding by Design (UbD), a framework for designing curriculum, assessment and instruction to support understanding. Participants will learn about UbD principles, apply them to their roles, and develop plans to promote understanding in schools. Research shows US students lack understanding, and curriculum often emphasizes coverage over depth.
Phillip Schlechty argues that true school reform requires transformation, not just surface-level changes. Transformation involves fundamentally changing the culture and structure of schools, including altering beliefs, values, relationships and rules within the system. This level of change allows schools to achieve things they have never done before and adopt radically new approaches. Schlechty claims schools need transformation, not just reform, in order to develop visions for 21st century learning.
The document discusses the importance of teaching critical thinking skills to students. It provides examples of famous people like Einstein, Beethoven, and Edison who struggled in traditional education but excelled in creative and critical thinking. The document defines critical thinking as processing information to solve problems, make decisions, and anticipate the future. It recommends teaching critical thinking by asking open-ended questions, connecting lessons to student experience, and encouraging group work and problem solving.
The “Creative Thinking for the 21st Century” presentation, given at the AFACCT Conference in January 2015, examined how educators can embed 21st century skills into their teaching curriculum. The goal was to show that by using innovative teaching and learning processes students gain skills in collaboration and team building, enhanced communication through presentation, and applied analysis of information. Teaching and learning strategies to engage students to think differently about their own learning and to move beyond critical thinking to creative thinking was emphasized.
This document is a philosophy paper written by Wasan F. Abu-Baker for a history and philosophy of education course. The paper discusses Abu-Baker's beliefs about education based on critical theory. It argues that education should promote freedom, intellectual growth, and critical thinking. The purpose of schools according to critical theory is to provide historical perspective, human liberation, and raise consciousness. Teachers should listen to students and encourage free thinking and expression. An essentialist approach that focuses only on basic skills ignores developing students' social skills and ability to think critically.
Visible Thinking is a framework that aims to develop students' thinking skills and deepen their understanding of content. It uses thinking routines, which are short, learnable strategies to extend student thinking. The goals are to foster deeper content understanding, greater learning motivation, and the development of thinking abilities and disposition towards thinking. Key aspects include thinking routines on various topics, focusing on four thinking ideals, making student thinking visible, and teacher study groups to reflect on student work samples. The overall approach aims to create a classroom culture where thinking is visible and students are engaged, curious learners.
The document discusses Jerome Bruner's constructivist learning theory, which posits that learning is an active process where learners construct new ideas based upon their current and past knowledge. It emphasizes that learning should involve exploring large concepts, inquiry-based learning, and making connections between ideas. According to constructivism, knowledge is temporary, culturally mediated, and developed through language. The roles of the teacher involve posing problems, structuring learning around core concepts, seeking student perspectives, and adapting instruction based on student understanding.

Visible thinking routines and ATL in ibdpShirin Bagchi
Students in a 5th grade class were introduced to arthropods like spiders and asked about their initial thoughts. The students came up with observations like them being creepy or hairy. They then generated questions about how arthropods move or produce webs. The teacher used a thinking routine called "think-puzzle-explore" to have students share what they think, identify questions, and explore topics that may not seem complex. Visible thinking involves making thinking visible through speaking, writing or drawing so students can direct and improve their thoughts. It emphasizes documenting thinking for later reflection.
Critical thinking is one of the major and rapidly growing concepts in education. Today, its role in second and foreign language learning and teaching is of great importance. Critical thinking skills and the mastery of the English language are expected to become essential outcomes of university education. To become fluent in a language and must be able to think critically and express thoughts, students need practise speaking activities using critical thinking skills. In this article, we define the concept “critical thinking” and discuss the role of critical thinking in the development of speaking skills through some practical activities that can be used in the classroom for students to practice critical thinking skills H.

CREATIVITY & CRITICAL THINKING - Life Skills Training for High SchoolYetunde Macaulay
Creativity and critical thinking are fundamental to students becoming successful learners. The ability to think critically is an essential life skill; as the world changes at an ever-faster pace and economies become global, young adults are entering an expanding, diverse job market. To remain relevant in the highly competitive world that we are today, it is necessary now more than ever before to ensure that you possess the thinking power to flexibly and creatively solve problems on a daily basis.
The document discusses the inquiry-based learning model and critical literacy. It explores how inquiry-based teaching uses deep questioning to engage students with big ideas and lessons. Critical literacy focuses on examining perspectives, assumptions and voices in texts. It encourages students to question texts and consider how power and point of view shape meaning. The document argues that critical literacy benefits students by developing critical thinking, voice, and a sense of agency to enact social change.
The document provides information about inquiry-based learning and instruction. It discusses inquiry-based learning as a student-centered approach that shifts away from linear teaching methods. Students lead inquiries, not teachers, who take on a supportive role. Inquiry can be used at any grade or developmental level based on the idea that people learn through exploration. The document then provides examples of how to structure inquiry-based lessons and questions.
The document summarizes key points from a workshop on theories of learning and teaching, teaching philosophy, and reflective practice. It discusses theories like constructivism and learner-centeredness. It also covers topics like conceptions of teaching, active learning strategies, differentiation, and constructive alignment of learning outcomes, assessments, and content. The document provides an overview of the workshop's content to introduce participants to important concepts in teaching practice in higher education.
Here is an example using the objective strand you provided:
In order for students to use appropriate mathematical language (symbols, terminology) in both oral and written statements, students must comprehend and use language with accuracy, clarity, and discernment. (ATL Category: Thinking, ATL Cluster: Critical Thinking)
When considering the authentic assessment task, students will need to organize and interpret data and communicate their findings to an audience. Therefore, an additional skill that could be explicitly taught is:

By identifying the key skills needed to successfully complete the task, teachers can ensure students have opportunities to develop those skills through the
Session 1 -- global challenges in educationMadan Pant
The document discusses the attributes of an educated person in the 21st century. It analyzes views from various thought leaders on skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and lifelong learning. Additionally, it recognizes a strong consensus among sources that an educated person is equipped to handle most life situations through skills like reasoning, writing, speaking and making decisions. Formal education often overlooks these soft skills in favor of more easily assessable ones, but true education is an ongoing process not defined by degrees alone.
This document discusses key concepts in the philosophy of education, including the nature and purpose of education. It addresses several questions:
- What is education and how does it relate to schooling? Education involves developing knowledge and understanding through various means, not just formal schooling.
- What is the purpose of critical thinking in education? Critical thinking skills allow students to challenge assumptions, avoid biases, and apply knowledge to solve problems. These skills are important for functioning in today's world.
- How can critical thinking be developed as a core function of education? Approaches include teaching generic problem-solving and reasoning skills that can be applied across disciplines.
- What knowledge should schools promote? Schools could promote knowledge for

The document introduces the Summer Institute in Digital Literacy, defining digital literacy as having skills to use the internet productively to generate questions, locate information, evaluate information critically, synthesize information, and communicate answers. It discusses varied definitions of digital literacy from different perspectives and roles in teaching and learning, and encourages participants to discuss how their individual expertise can support designing productive learning experiences for students.
This document discusses theories of human learning and motivation as they relate to effective instruction. It covers several topics:
- Educational psychology as the scientific study of teaching and learning processes, and how psychological theories can be applied to instructional decision making.
- Different theories of learning like behaviorism, cognitive learning, and motivation theories.
- Factors that influence individual differences in learning like personality, gender, culture and peers.
- The importance of understanding students' backgrounds and perspectives to create culturally relevant pedagogy and avoid misunderstandings from cultural differences.
- How students build their self-perceptions and develop a sense of identity over time based on various influences.
Visible Thinking is a framework that aims to enrich classroom learning, foster students' intellectual development, and shift the classroom culture towards enthusiastic thinkers and learners. It involves using thinking routines, emphasizing four thinking ideals, and making students' thinking visible through explanations, ideas, debates, and interpretations displayed in the classroom. When thinking is visible, students are more metacognitive, engaged in exploring ideas rather than just memorizing content, and teachers can better understand students' thinking to address challenges and extend learning.
This presentation investigates approaches to enhancing critical thinking in the 21st century. The use of philosophy, P4C and epistemology are examined. The focus here is on critical thinking enhancement in high schools.
CONSTRUCTIVIST APPROACH TO LEARNING Method- 5E MODEL-PPTMonali Pradhan
The document discusses the constructivist approach to learning, specifically the 5E model. It provides background on constructivism, outlining key principles like knowledge being actively constructed by learners based on their experiences. The 5E model is then explained in detail, with each "E" standing for a phase of instruction: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate. Examples of activities for each phase are given. The document also discusses benefits and criticisms of constructivism, noting it emphasizes collaborative, active learning but may disadvantage some students.
Chapter 2: Philosophical Foundation of CurriculumShauna Martin
This presentation highlights relevant information from Chapter 2 of Curriculum Foundations, Principles, and Issues. Philosophical models of education are presented and analyzed.
The document discusses various philosophical foundations of curriculum. It describes how philosophy influences curriculum workers and is the starting point for curriculum development. It also outlines different educational philosophies like essentialism, progressivism, and reconstructionism that are rooted in major philosophies like idealism, realism, pragmatism, and existentialism. Reconstructionism aims to improve society but questions established norms, making it both realistic in its goals and radical in its approach.
The document outlines 10 strategies for building students' critical thinking skills: 1) Socratic seminars, where students discuss texts and respond to each other with teacher facilitation; 2) Simulations that require students to make decisions from a first-hand perspective; 3) Encouraging creativity by allowing student-directed work; 4) Using depth and complexity icons to stimulate analysis; 5) Comparing and contrasting concepts; 6) Literature circles where students discuss books they chose; 7) Debates that require persuasive arguments and rebuttals; 8) Instant challenges that require quick, creative problem-solving; 9) Open-ended questioning to foster higher-level thinking; and 10) Reciprocal teaching where students take turns leading

O documento descreve um protocolo para promover o pensamento crítico nos currículos do ensino superior europeu. O protocolo foi desenvolvido após revisões da literatura, entrevistas e formação de docentes. Ele propõe que o pensamento crítico seja um objetivo claro e importante em todos os níveis, desde a instituição aos planos de estudos, e que seja desenvolvido de forma contínua e congruente através da declaração, modelagem, indução e avaliação das competências de pensamento crítico.
- The document discusses the debate around whether critical thinking skills are domain-specific or domain-free and transferable. It presents the views of philosophers like Ennis who believe they are universal, versus McPeck who believes they are domain-dependent.
- It outlines different approaches to teaching critical thinking and discusses empirical, epistemological, and conceptual specificity. While some transfer may be possible, complete transfer of skills across domains is unlikely.
- Using philosophers as an example, it argues they have been specifically trained to think critically about any topic, so their skills cannot be generalized to other fields without similar immersion training.

Critical thinking relies on content, because you can't navigate masses of information if you
have nothing to navigate to…(Kathy Hirsh-Pasek)
Do not indoctrinate your children. Teach them how to think for themselves, how to evaluate
evidence, and how to disagree with you (Richard Dawkins)
The most fundamental attack on freedom is the attack on critical thinking skills (Travis Nichols)
Critical thinking is the key to creative problem solving in business ( Richard Branson)
The world “why” not only taught me to ask, but also to think. And thinking has never hurt
anyone. On the contrary. It does us all a world of good ( Anne Frank)
To think is easy. To act is hard. But the hardest thing in the world is to act in accordance with
your thinking. ( Johann W. von Goethe)
The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at
when we created them ( Albert Einstein).
You have to be open minded, but not too much....You have to keep eye on your brains not
to fall down ( unknown author)

EVOCATION stage – to evoke, to arouse interest, to excite, to summon
forth, to provoke students to think about what they already know.
Learners establish a baseline of personal knowledge to which new
knowledge can be added; and activate their own learning from a very
beginning
Through this stage interest and purpose in exploration of the topic is
established

REALIZATION of MEANING stage – learners come into contact with new
information or ideas. This contact could take the form of reading text, watching a film,
listening to a speech, or doing an experiment. This is also the phase of learning during
which teachers have the least influence on the learner.
It is during this second phase that the learner have independently sustain active
engagement and control their own learning.
