Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking 
• Using critical and analytical thinking may seem 
daunting at first, but by following a series of 
clearly defined steps, you can start to use such 
skills sooner than you may have imagined.
What is a Critical thinking? 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking 
• Critical thinking involves the use of a group of interconnected 
skills to analyze, creatively integrate, and evaluate what you 
read and hear. 
• To become a critical thinker you must be able to decide 
whether an author’s opinions are true or false, whether he or 
she has adequately defended those ideas, whether certain 
recommendations are practical, as well as whether particular 
solutions will be effective.

Thinking Critically: The Most Important 
Skill for Student Success 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking 
• Critical analytical 
thinking is a key part of 
university study. 
• Critical thinking is a 
process used to think 
about and evaluate 
information and reach 
a conclusion.
Critical thinking 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking 
• Here are some guidelines to help you 
think critically: 
GGoo t oto N Neexxt tp paaggee
Start with all the information you 
have 
• Make sure you include everything: what 
you’ve read, seen, heard, done or been told 
about the topic. 
• Do you have enough information, or do you 
need to do more reading/research? 
• What are the key points? 
• What are the arguments? 
• Are there any assumptions (things 
accepted as true without proof)? 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking
What do you have to do with the 
information? 
• Identify the problem you have to solve, or the 
issue you need to address. 
• Write it down - don't worry if you're not sure, 
this is just a draft. 
• Can you break down the problem/issue into 
parts? 
• Which part do think you should start with? 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking
What do you think about the 
problem/issue? 
• What exactly do you think about 
the issue? 
• Why do you think the way that 
you do? 
• Make notes: writing things down 
often clarifies your thinking. 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking
Analyze the information 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking 
• How do the bits fit together and relate to 
one another? 
• Compare the various ideas: are there any 
similarities or differences?
Evaluate the various views 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking 
• What evidence is there for the various viewpoints? 
• Which points are in agreement, which ones disagree? 
• Make sure you consider all sides of the argument, 
especially those you disagree with. 
• Are there logical connections between the various 
sources and ideas? 
• Compare what you’ve found with your initial thinking 
about the topic? Do you still think the same way or have 
your views changed at all? 
• Which of the ideas you’ve found are relevant to your 
needs?
Synthesize your ideas 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking 
• This means bring your ideas together and 
develop a reasonable response (in your view). 
• Is there more than one response? 
• What works best in this situation?
Use these ideas 
• Construct an argument. 
• Identify implications. 
• Reach a logical conclusion. 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking
Apply your understanding 
• Answer the questions, and 
• write your assignment.

thinking
The Problem Solving Loop 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking
II. What is Analytical thinking 
• When you think 
analytically you examine, 
or think about, the 
different parts or details 
of something in order to 
understand or explain it 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking
Analytical thinking 
Analytical thinking may require you to think 
about some (or all) of the following: 
– Cause and effect 
– Similarities and differences 
– Trends 
– Associations between things 
– Inter-relationships between the parts 
– The sequence of events 
– Complex systems and how they work 
– Ways to solve complex problems 
– Steps within a process 
– Examples of what is happening 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking
Techniques to help you think 
analytically 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking 
Ask questions 
•Who -Who developed this theory? Who’s involved? etc. 
•Where - Where does the information come from? Where 
can I find out more? 
•When - When did it happen? When was the research 
done? 
•Why - Why did this happen? Why do/did people feel the 
way they do? 
•What - What happened before this, and after it? What does 
it really mean? What do others think about it? 
•What if - What if it hadn’t happened? What if it had been 
done differently? 
•So what - Why does it matter?
Techniques to help you think 
analytically 
Use diagrams 
•Diagrams can help you see how the 
ideas relate to one another. 
•For example, diagrams can show 
relationships such as cause and 
effect or sequence (e.g. using flow 
diagrams), and hierarchy (e.g. using 
an organizational chart). 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking
Techniques to help you think 
analytically 
Try mindmaps 
•Mindmaps are branching diagrams. 
•Start with the topic in the middle and add 
subtopics and relevant details. 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking
III. How to process your research 
for the critical thinking 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical 
thinking 
• Do on your collected data from the internet 
• Use the Bloom’s hierarchy 
• And other guidelines
What are the key components of an 
article based on primary research? 
• Abstract 
• Introduction 
• Literature review 
• Research methods 
• Data analysis/findings 
• Discussion 
• Conclusion 
Seminar 3: 
Critical and Analytical

Lesson3

  • 1. EL310 English for Engineering Prepared by: Uranchimeg Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 2. Agenda • In this topic we will study about critical and analytical thinking. • Critical thinking • Analytical thinking • How we will be a critical thinker? • How to process your research for the critical thinking Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 3. Critical and Analytical thinking Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking • Using critical and analytical thinking may seem daunting at first, but by following a series of clearly defined steps, you can start to use such skills sooner than you may have imagined.
  • 4. What is a Critical thinking? Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking • Critical thinking involves the use of a group of interconnected skills to analyze, creatively integrate, and evaluate what you read and hear. • To become a critical thinker you must be able to decide whether an author’s opinions are true or false, whether he or she has adequately defended those ideas, whether certain recommendations are practical, as well as whether particular solutions will be effective.
  • 5. Map of Thinking Domain Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 6. Why Critical thinking is important? • To learn is to think • To think poorly is to learn poorly • To think well is learn well • All content, to be learned, must be intellectually constructed • Memorizing IS NOT learning Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 7. Bloom’s (1956) Hierarchy of Thinking Skills LEVEL6: Evaluate (Make judgments about the value of ideas or information) LEVEL5: Synthesize (Combine ideas or information into something new) LEVEL4: Analyse (Make a systematic and detailed examination of an argument or piece of research) LEVEL3: Apply (Use knowledge) LEVEL2: Comprehend (Have understanding) LEVEL1: Know (Be aware of something, recall information) Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 8. Thinking Critically: The Most Important Skill for Student Success Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking • Critical analytical thinking is a key part of university study. • Critical thinking is a process used to think about and evaluate information and reach a conclusion.
  • 9. Critical thinking Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking • Here are some guidelines to help you think critically: GGoo t oto N Neexxt tp paaggee
  • 10. Start with all the information you have • Make sure you include everything: what you’ve read, seen, heard, done or been told about the topic. • Do you have enough information, or do you need to do more reading/research? • What are the key points? • What are the arguments? • Are there any assumptions (things accepted as true without proof)? Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 11. What do you have to do with the information? • Identify the problem you have to solve, or the issue you need to address. • Write it down - don't worry if you're not sure, this is just a draft. • Can you break down the problem/issue into parts? • Which part do think you should start with? Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 12. What do you think about the problem/issue? • What exactly do you think about the issue? • Why do you think the way that you do? • Make notes: writing things down often clarifies your thinking. Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 13. Analyze the information Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking • How do the bits fit together and relate to one another? • Compare the various ideas: are there any similarities or differences?
  • 14. Evaluate the various views Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking • What evidence is there for the various viewpoints? • Which points are in agreement, which ones disagree? • Make sure you consider all sides of the argument, especially those you disagree with. • Are there logical connections between the various sources and ideas? • Compare what you’ve found with your initial thinking about the topic? Do you still think the same way or have your views changed at all? • Which of the ideas you’ve found are relevant to your needs?
  • 15. Synthesize your ideas Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking • This means bring your ideas together and develop a reasonable response (in your view). • Is there more than one response? • What works best in this situation?
  • 16. Use these ideas • Construct an argument. • Identify implications. • Reach a logical conclusion. Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 17. Apply your understanding • Answer the questions, and • write your assignment. Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 18. The Problem Solving Loop Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 19. II. What is Analytical thinking • When you think analytically you examine, or think about, the different parts or details of something in order to understand or explain it Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 20. Analytical thinking Analytical thinking may require you to think about some (or all) of the following: – Cause and effect – Similarities and differences – Trends – Associations between things – Inter-relationships between the parts – The sequence of events – Complex systems and how they work – Ways to solve complex problems – Steps within a process – Examples of what is happening Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 21. Techniques to help you think analytically Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking Ask questions •Who -Who developed this theory? Who’s involved? etc. •Where - Where does the information come from? Where can I find out more? •When - When did it happen? When was the research done? •Why - Why did this happen? Why do/did people feel the way they do? •What - What happened before this, and after it? What does it really mean? What do others think about it? •What if - What if it hadn’t happened? What if it had been done differently? •So what - Why does it matter?
  • 22. Techniques to help you think analytically Use diagrams •Diagrams can help you see how the ideas relate to one another. •For example, diagrams can show relationships such as cause and effect or sequence (e.g. using flow diagrams), and hierarchy (e.g. using an organizational chart). Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 23. Techniques to help you think analytically Try mindmaps •Mindmaps are branching diagrams. •Start with the topic in the middle and add subtopics and relevant details. Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 24. III. How to process your research for the critical thinking Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking • Do on your collected data from the internet • Use the Bloom’s hierarchy • And other guidelines
  • 25. What are the key components of an article based on primary research? • Abstract • Introduction • Literature review • Research methods • Data analysis/findings • Discussion • Conclusion Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking
  • 26. Writing your review Seminar 3: Critical and Analytical thinking Use the statements below to write a brief review of your article: • The aims of this article are • In her introduction, the author claims that • The literature review • Her argument is • She concludes that • Whilst the author does
