This document discusses critical thinking skills and how to apply them when reading texts. It defines critical thinking as seeing multiple sides of an issue, requiring claims to be backed by evidence, and problem solving. The presentation outlines six critical thinking skills: interpretation, analysis, inference, evaluation, explanation, and self-regulation. It provides guidelines for critically reading texts, such as assessing the author's qualifications and looking at what assumptions or contradictions are present. The overall message is that developing critical thinking abilities is important for academic success and life.
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.

“In order to thrive in the 21st Century, intentional learners should be
empowered through a mastery of intellectual and practical skills, informed
about forms of inquiry, and responsible for their personal actions.”
—J. Doherty and K. Ketchner (2005, p. 1)
Section 4.2Becoming a Critical Thinker
4.1 The Adept Mind
Chapter 3 was devoted to helping you understand how to use metacognition, the learning
techniques known as decoding and FITing, and personalized strategies to become a more
intentional learner. This chapter builds on that knowledge by framing how to use your Learn-
ing Patterns to develop an adept mind.
The adept mind helps you succeed in all areas of life. It is one that makes good decisions and
can discern the difference between fact and fiction. It studies a situation’s complexity, weighs
the facts, examines the logic behind a choice, and determines whether a choice is appropriate.
The adept mind is intentional, stable, and often methodical and always seeks to improve its
efficiency and effectiveness. The adept mind is vital not only to the work of a student, but also
to the experience of being a parent, employee, or volunteer. No matter what you are called
on to do in life, you will need an adept mind to navigate the change you encounter and the
growth you seek.
The adept mind uses the critical skills of thinking, reading, and writing—skills this chap-
ter explores in depth—and uses them with integrity. The word critical is not one students
embrace easily. It has a negative connotation and suggests that someone has found fault with
something you have done. It conjures up images of a scolding voice, red pen marks, or nega-
tive comments. When applied to thinking, reading, and writing, however, the word critical
takes on a different meaning. To be critical means to delve deeper into a topic to better under-
stand, evaluate, and take a position on it. As you will see at the end of the chapter, being criti-
cal also means becoming able to use your research with honesty and originality.

Critical and Analytical ThinkingCritical thinkin.docxannettsparrow
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 –.
Answer the following question in complete sentences. Minimum 1 page .pdfshalini518936
Answer the following question in complete sentences. Minimum 1 page and use examples from
the chapter. Do you believe critical thinking requires skepticism, why or why not? For our
purposes, critical thinking means being able to build and understand a reasoned argument, to
apply skepticism to what we hear, and especially to recognize an incorrect or fraudulent
assertion. From a professional perspective, please explain why this does or does not make sense?
Solution
The primary goal of teaching students to think critically, and he objected that “Teaching students
to be critical thinkers is very important but teaching them to have a skeptical disposition is more
important.”
I would argue, however, that
a.skepticism is good and rational only to the extent that it arises out of critical thinking and
conforms to the principles and standards of critical thinking, and that
b. Teaching students to be critical thinkers is the best way to promote rational skepticism.
I noticed that a book quoted by Loftus in the above post was co-authored by the leading skeptic
Michael Shermer. It would be worthwhile to consider what Shermer has to say about skepticism,
and then to think about how his ideas about skepticism relate to critical thinking.
First of all, Shermer’s brief statement about skepticism on his website emphasizes critical
thinking. In the very first paragraph critical thinking is mentioned in the first sentence and in the
last sentence:
THE SKEPTICS SOCIETYis a nonprofit 501(c)(3) scientific and educational organization
whose mission is to engage leading experts in investigating the paranormal, fringe science,
pseudoscience, and extraordinary claims of all kinds, promote critical thinking, and serve as an
educational tool for those seeking a sound scientific viewpoint. Our contributors—leading
scientists, scholars, investigative journalists, historians, professors and teachers—are top experts
in their fields. It is our hope that our efforts go a long way in promoting critical thinking and
lifelong inquisitiveness in all individuals. [emphasis added]
Clearly Shermer sees a close connection between skepticism and critical thinking.
At the end of Shermer’s brief statement about skepticism, he makes the following comment:
The key to skepticism is to continuously and vigorously apply the methods of science to navigate
the treacherous straits between “know nothing” skepticism and “anything goes” credulity.
Shermer does not endorse skepticism in general. What he endorses is a particular form or kind of
skepticism that he calls rational skepticism. This kind of skepticism, like an aristotelian virtue, is
the mean between the extremes of pure skepticism and credulity.
The above comment corresponds to similar ideas in Shermer’s longer essay A Skeptical
Manifesto. Shermer quotes Carl Sagan and then makes a concluding comment:
Carl Sagan summed up this essential tension (in Basil, 1988, p. 366):
It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between .

THINKING ABOUT THINKING
How can we know what to believe when the facts are confusing and experts disagree? As you learn about environmental science-in this book and elsewhere-you will find many issues about which the data are indecisive, leading reasonable people to disagree on how they should be interpreted. How can we choose between competing claims? Is it simply a matter of what feels good at any particular moment, or are there objective ways to evaluate arguments? Critical thinking skills can help us form a rational basis for deciding what to believe and do. These skills foster reflective and systematic analysis to help us bring order out of chaos, discover hidden ideas and meanings, develop strategies for evaluating reasons and conclusions in arguments, and avoid jumping to conclusions. Developing rational analytic skills is an important part of your education and will give you useful tools for life.
Certain attitudes, tendencies and dispositions are essential for critical or reflective thinking. Among these are;
· Skepticism and independence. Question authority. Don't believe everything you hear or read, including this book. Even the experts can be wrong.
· Open-mindedness and flexibility. Be willing to consider differing points of view and entertain alternative explanations.
· Accuracy and orderliness. Strive for as much precision as the subject permits or warrants. Deal systematically with parts of a complex whole.
· Persistence and relevance. Stick to the main point and avoid allowing diversions or personal biases to lead you astray.
· Contextual sensitivity and empathy. Consider the total situation, feelings, level of knowledge, and sophistication of others as you study situations. Try and put yourself in another person's place to understand his or her position.
· Decisiveness and courage. Draw conclusions and take a stand when the evidence warrants doing so.
· Humility. Realize that you may be wrong and that you may have to reconsider in the future.
Critical thinking is sometimes called metacognition or "thinking about thinking." It is not critical in the sense of finding fault but rather is an attempt to rationally plan how to think about a problem. It requires a self-conscious monitoring of the process while you are doing it and an evaluation of how your strategy worked and what you learned when you have finished. Assembling, understanding, and evaluat ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Possessing the ability to think critically is an
essential skill for all of us—regardless of
what we do in life. Today we are going to talk
about the basic principles of critical thinking,
with an emphasis on applying these to
analyzing texts.
3. What is Critical Thinking?
Critical thinking consists of seeing both sides of an
issue, being open to new evidence that disconfirms your
ideas, reasoning dispassionately, demanding that claims
be backed by evidence, deducing and inferring
conclusions from available facts, solving problems, and
so forth.
Then too, there are specific types of critical thinking
that are characteristic of different subject matter: . . .
‘thinking like a scientist’ or ‘thinking like a historian.’
Daniel Willingham, 2007:8.
4. Two Perspectives
Critical Thinking = General Skill Set
General reasoning, logic, and problem solving.
Critical Thinking = Specific Skill Set for a
Discipline
Specific types of problem solving for one’s
academic discipline/career field. Example:
triage procedures for nurses.
6. Skill #1: Interpretation
Having the ability to understand
the information you are being
presented with and being able to
communicate the meaning of that
information to others.
7. Skill #2: Analysis
Having the ability to connect
pieces of information together in
order to determine what the
intended meaning of the
information was meant to
represent.
8. Skill #3: Inference
Having the ability to understand
and recognize what elements you
will need in order to determine an
accurate conclusion or hypothesis
from the information at your
disposal.
9. Skill #4: Evaluation
Being able to evaluate the
credibility of statements or
descriptions of a person’s
experience, judgment or opinion in
order to measure the validity of the
information being presented.
10. Skill #5: Explanation
Having the ability to not only restate
information, but add clarity and
perspective to the information, so it
can be fully understood by anyone
you are sharing it with.
11. Skill #6: Self-Regulation
Having the awareness of your own
thinking abilities and the elements that
you are using to find results. In other
words, being aware of your strengths,
weaknesses, and any potential biases
that you may carry as you approach a
problem (or text).
12. Critical Thinking Exercise: Fact or Opinion?
Do you always know fact from opinion? It's not so easy to do
sometimes. Recent developments in the media have made it easy for
groups with political agendas to masquerade as impartial sources, and
for fake web sites to offer fake information-and that makes it more
important than ever for students to develop critical thinking. You must
use trustworthy sources in your school work!
If you don't learn the difference between fact and opinion, you'll get
stuck reading and watching things that only reinforce beliefs and
assumptions you already own. And that is the opposite of learning!
Try to determine whether each statement sounds like a fact or an
opinion, and discuss with a friend or study partner.
13. Fact or Opinion?
My mom is the best mom on earth.
My dad is taller than your dad.
My telephone number is difficult to memorize.
The deepest part of the ocean is 35,813 feet deep.
Dogs make better pets than turtles.
Smoking is bad for your health.
Eighty-five percent of all cases of lung cancer in the U.S. are caused by
smoking.

14. You may not realize it but you instinctively apply some of these Critical
Thinking principles in your daily lives. For example, when you explain
things to your children, interpret those odd looks that your friends
sometimes give you, or when you evaluate which type of car best meets
your needs and price range. Applying these principles in an academic
setting takes extra effort, focus, and diligence. Now, I will discuss some
tips for critically reading the various types of texts that are assigned to you
by your professors/instructors.
15. Guidelines for Being a Critical Reader
I. Read as a believer and as a doubter.
Approach your reading with an open mind.
Try the “believing and doubting game” to see a piece of writing from
different perspectives.
II. Access the writer(s)’ qualifications.
Get into the habit of checking the author(s)’ qualifications for everything
you read.
Does the writer have special expertise on a subject from either personal
experience or academic training?
A lack of expert qualifications doesn’t necessarily invalidate a writer’s
arguments, but it should make you examine the evidence with extra care.
16. Guidelines for Being a Critical Reader (2)
III. Look carefully at the evidence presented.
A strong academic argument must adequately back up its claims.
How much evidence does the writer present?
Where does the evidence come from?
Is the evidence fairly and fully presented?
Critical thinkers guard themselves against the tendency we all
have to gravitate towards arguments that confirm our own beliefs
and to avoid those that don’t. So, when you’re researching an
issue, seek out readings that reflect different perspectives.
17. Guidelines for Being a Critical Reader (3)
IV. Assess whether the writer(s)’ claims go beyond what the evidence actually
supports.
Closely related to the quality of the evidence in an argument is how the writer applies
that evidence.
Does the writer draw conclusions that go beyond what his/her support warrants?
V. Look for what’s NOT there: the unstated assumptions, beliefs, and values that
underlie the argument.
Does the writer take it for granted that he/she and the audience share certain
knowledge or beliefs when in fact they don’t?
If what someone takes for granted in an argument can be reasonably disputed, then
you should challenge the author(s)’ claims.
VI. Note any contradictions: Look for places where pieces of an argument don’t fit
together.
18. Guidelines for Being a Critical Reader (4)
VII. Examine the writer(s)’ word choice to identify any (potential)
underlying biases: Be alert to when writers overload their prose with what
rhetoricians call “god terms” (words like democratic, responsible, natural) or
“devil terms” (words like destructive, immoral, and selfish—for example).
VIII. Be skeptical of simple solutions to complex problems and resist
black-and-white thinking.
Be wary of arguments or explanations that offer quick, easy answers to
difficult problems.
As you read an argument, look for evidence that the writer(s) has neglected
to consider the long-term implications of his/her position.
