2. According to Vygotsky, social learning through guided instruction and interactions within the zone of proximal development is essential for cognitive development, rather than Piaget's view of independent learning and exploration.
3. Vygotsky also believed that language and thought develop separately at first and then merge around age 3 to produce verbal thought, in contrast to Piaget's view that thought comes before language.
1. Lev Vygotsky developed the sociocultural theory of cognitive development which emphasizes that social interaction and cultural factors strongly influence cognitive development, unlike Piaget's theory which saw development as more universal.
2. According to Vygotsky, social learning occurs before and influences cognitive development, with knowledge constructed through social interactions and guidance from adults and peers, especially within the zone of proximal development.
3. Vygotsky also argued that language and thought originally develop separately, merging at around age 3 to produce verbal thought, and that cognitive development results from internalizing language from culture.

NEED FOR ENHANCING CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESS: A PERSPECTIVE.
1. NEED FOR ENHANCING CRITICAL THINKING AND
PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS IN TEACHING AND
LEARNING PROCESS: A PERSPECTIVE.

3. "Imagination is more important than knowledge, for imagination
embraces the world, and most people spend more time and energy going
around problems than in trying to solve them.” - Henry Ford
: Much of the thinking done in formal education emphasizes the skills of
analysis-teaching students how to understand, follow or create a logical
argument, figure out the answer, eliminate the incorrect paths and focus
on the correct one. However, there is another kind of thinking, one that
focuses on exploring ideas, generating possibilities, looking for many
right answers rather than just one. Both of these kinds of thinking are
vital to a successful working life, which is none other than Critical
Thinking.
4. The repertoire of good problem solving skills includes:
• developing creative and innovative solutions;
• developing practical solutions;
• showing independence and initiative in identifying problems and solving
them;
• applying a range of strategies to problem-solving;
• applying problem-solving strategies across a range of areas;
Here author made an attempt drag what actually, Critical Thinking
and Problem Solving, Meaning, Methods, Techniques and place in the
Life Skills according to WHO, World Health Organization, 1997.
5. Thinking skills are one of the most important yet inadequately implemented
areas, of the curriculum. Thinking skills are relatively specific cognitive
operations that can be considered the building blocks of thinking.
Certainly, a part of helping students to develop and improve their thinking
skills is connected in some significant way with the challenge and
discovery. However, it is often the case that works in a given situation may
not work at all in another situation. Assisting students to improve thinking
skills is increasingly recognized as a primary goal of education. Skills can
be conceptualized on a continuum based on the level of complexity
required or the difficulty of the problem to be addressed. The broad term”
cognitive processes” refers to complex operations that usually require
substantial time and effort and the integration of general and specific
knowledge.
6. Components of critical thinking:
1. Distinguishing between verifiable and value claims.
2. Distinguishing relevant from irrelevant information, claims or reasons.
3. Determine the factual accuracy of a statement.
4. Determine the strengths of an argument or claims.
5. Determine the credibility of a source.
6. Seeking the truth.
7. Weighing the facts.
8. Judging the facts.
9. Subsequently making decision.
7. What are the dispositions that enhance critical
thinking?
Langrehr (2001) makes use of the acronym ‘cool’ to help us recall the
various dispositions that a critical thinker needs to be effective. COOL
represents the four dispositions namely;
a. Clear b. Open minded c. Objective d. Loose
Clear: Anyone who wishes to think critically about any issue should have
clarity about the issue. To get a clear view, he may ask a few questions to
himself. What am I debating here? What do I already know about the
issue? What are the different dimensions of this issue? What is the core
point? Could it be explained further? Questions such as these would help
clarify the issue at hand.
8. Open minded: A strong critical thinker thinks dialogically rather than
mono-logically. He tries to consider an issue from the other person’s point
of view. On the other hand, a weak critical thinker is an egocentric. He
would keep saying, I’m right and you’re wrong. A person who is open
minded keeps asking such questions as, “What is your point of view? Why
have you taken this point of view? What do you like about my points of
view?
Objective: A critical thinker who is strong makes his decisions only after
having gathered and studied all necessary data. Conversely, a weak
critical thinker makes decisions from the heart. He simply relies on
feelings and emotions instead of relying on objective evidence.
9. Loose: A genuine critical thinker, when he comes to know that he has
been functioning from a false assumption, would immediately accept his
error. He immediately changes his views on the basis of the evidence. He
is so flexible that he would not keep harping on the strings when he
realizes he is wrong. If an individual tries to cultivate these dispositions,
as time passes, he would turn out to be a strong critical thinker.
Methods, Techniques and Tools of Critical Thinking:
1. Assignment method:
It is one of the important methods to develop critical thinking ability.
For e.g. an assignment on – “Akbar the great”, depicting his capability –
to integrate the country under very odd circumstances.
10. 2. Project method:
It helps to promote critical thinking ability in the students. For e.g.
Project work on “Indus – valley civilization” or “National Movement in
India”. The project can be done in groups, dividing the work to discover
the material from books, pictures, scrap books, journals, encyclopedias,
charts, atlases, etc.
3. Story telling method:
Some historical stories definitely help to promote critical thinking
ability. They develop historical imagination, creative training, manual
faculties, learning the art of speech and action. For e.g. Good stories like
Mahabharata, Ramayana, Bagavad Geetha, and Puranas have produced
great personalities like Gandhi, Shivaji, Napoleon and others.
11. 4. Source Method:
With the help of source method, we will develop critical thinking
ability in the students. It develops constructive imagination, sense of
reality, improves reasoning and critical judgment for e.g. the best topic in
this method can be titled as “Shahjhan as a magnificent builder of great
buildings”. When we want to teach this topic, we can make use of many
literary and archeological sources.
Techniques:
Tools of Critical Thinking:
De Bono (1994) has devised a number of tools for helping students’
pickup skill of critical thinking. A few of them are being introduced here to
show how they can be used for the purpose of developing critical thinking
skills.
12. 1. P.M.I. (Plus, minus and interesting)
2. C.A.F (Considering all Factors)
3. E.B.S (Examine both sides)
4. O.P.V. (Other people’s view)
5. A.P.C (Alternatives possibilities and choices)
6. C and S (Consequences and Sequel)
7. A.G.O (Aims, goals and objectives)
8. F.P. (First Priority)
P.M.I. (Plus, Minus and Interesting): It is an attention directing tool in
which first attention pertaining an issue is directed towards the plus
points then minus points and finally interesting points. This tool is used
in connection with an issue. For example, students can be asked to do a
PMI on the issue, Think plus, Minus and Interesting points. As students
are engaged in the process, they look at the problem analytically. This
forces them to see the issue from different perspectives.
13. C.A.F (Considering All Factors): CAF means considering all Factors
that have to be considered in a situation. When we are proposing to buy
a second hand car, for instance, is an example where we can apply the
CAF. In this case, we need to know all factors like price, previous
owners, present owner, mileage, resale value, condition of car, petrol
consumption, and condition of the tires.
E.B.S (Examine Both Sides): This tool is exploratory in purpose and
involves a genuine examination of both the sides. EBS is a tool that can
be used to throw light on and examine when it comes to the study of
such issues as “ should smoking be banned in all public places” or “
should housewives to be paid for their work, ” etc.
14. O.P.V. (Other People’s View): Is yet another tool form de Bono’s Tool
Box. This tool involves putting yourselves in the other person’s shoes
and visualizing the world from the frame of mind of the other person.
When we think, generally we are tempted to think only from our point of
view. We hardly care to see any issue from the other person’s point of
view. OPV is intended to give a broader and clearer view of any
situation. As a result, the mental map of the situation becomes clearer
and more complete and so it can help to find one’s way around. E.g.:
Mr. X has the habit of hurling insults at others. Under situations such as
the above, if we do an OPV, it will help us arrive at an objective view of
the issues concerned
The obstacles that stand in the way of developing critical thinking:
Olson and Ames (1972) have noted give obstacles namely;
1. Use of single textbook
2. Halo effect
3. Desire for avoidance of controversy
4. Emphasis on conformity
5. Emotional involvement and response
15. 1. Use of Single Text book:
In teaching various subjects, our classrooms generally depend on single
textbooks. This total dependence on single textbooks is one of the greatest
deterrents of the development of critical thinking skills. When pupils are
exposed to one selection of facts and their interpretation, they inevitably
stand the risk of accepting them as true.
2. Halo Effect:
Many individuals among us have the notion that anything that is
printed is true. They give undue importance to the printed page. This
illusion makes them insist on their forgone conclusion and desist from
making judgment on accuracy.
16. 3. Desire for avoidance of controversy:
Issues that are open to controversy are fine means to develop
critical ability. Every society has several issues pertaining to ethnicity,
race, religion, right, social class, etc. that are highly controversial in
nature. As taking up such issues as topic for discussion in the classroom
can create a lot of heat and vociferous scenes, administrators and
teachers generally avoid them.
4. Emphasis on conformity:
People generally feel comfortable when they are working in
areas that are familiar to them. Similarly, they have an affinity for things
that are traditional. There is the fear of the unfamiliar and the unknown,
a lack of readiness to think and act differently.
17. 5. Emotional involvement and response:
There is hardly any student who is not under the influence of
some prejudice, bias or emotion. When he is under the influence of strong
feelings, he cannot indulge himself into thinking.
Critical thinking as we have noted, in not merely finding fault with
the information we encountered in our day-to-day life. It is the type of
thinking that evaluates reason. It is not destructive but constructive
process. Developing critical thinking skill is highly important in a
democratic country like ours so that our students may not end up in
dogmatic indoctrination, will develop a mind that is open, flexible and
viable, will be more inquisitive, insightful and humane.
18. What is problem solving?
Problem solving is a tool, skill and a process. As a tool it helps
up to solve a problem or achieve a goal whereas a skill we can use it
predominantly throughout our life and as a process it includes number of
steps.
Need of Problem Solving skills in present scenario:
Basic literacy skills and high order thinking at work place.
To overcome emotions, health, academics and socio-economic
problematic situations.
Due to changes in professional standards.
Promote mental well-being and competence in young generation to
face reality
19. To develop health and positive social relationships and to take positive
action to protect ourselves.
Identify problems those arouse within the family and society.
Make yourself free from conflicts.
To help us learn from our experiences.
Presenting problematic situation from occurring again.
To get effective solution.
Get rid of obstacles in our life.
20. Strategies for problem solving:
Step -1 Identify the problem: The first task is to encounter the
problem which is really troubling us. A problem solver should identify
problem without any ambiguity. Normally the time and space in which
the problem is encountered is uncertain. Hence there is a need for the
preparedness of mind to solve the problems.
Step – 2 Problem Definition: An individual should
systematically weigh the pros and cons of a problem and s/he should
define or state it.
Step – 3 Problem Analysis: Once we define problem there is need to
think about it from different perspectives to insure that we understand
the different dimensions of the problem.
After analyzing the problem we should be sure enough about
the real problem.
Step – 4Establish Goals: Once we analyze the problem with
different perspectives. We need to choose the immediate goal on priority.
21. Step – 5 Generate possible solutions: At this stage we have to generate as
many possible solutions. It is always beneficial if we look into our past
experience to overcome the present problematic situations.
If we are unable to get rid of problem, we can share with
friends, family, a counselor, etc., to obtain ideas for solving the problem.
Step – 6Analyze the solution: During this stage we have to
examine each alternatives by keeping in mind the advantages and
disadvantages.
Step – 7Implementation : The last step in problem solving is to
implement the final alternative. During this stage we have to assess our-
self-regarding the satisfaction and success of the problem solving, if
there is dissatisfaction and failure then the process is to be repeated till
we succeed.
22. Step – 5 Generate possible solutions: At this stage we have to generate as
many possible solutions. It is always beneficial if we look into our past
experience to overcome the present problematic situations.
If we are unable to get rid of problem, we can share with friends,
family, a counselor, etc., to obtain ideas for solving the problem.
Step – 6Analyze the solution: During this stage we have to
examine each alternatives by keeping in mind the advantages and
disadvantages.
Step – 7Implementation : The last step in problem solving is to
implement the final alternative. During this stage we have to assess our-
self-regarding the satisfaction and success of the problem solving, if there
is dissatisfaction and failure then the process is to be repeated till we
succeed.
23. Rest cause analysis
Brain Storming
Proof
Trial & Error
Hypotheses Testing
Lateral thinking
Means-ends
analysis
Divide and Conquer Research
A Few problems Solving Techniques:
24. Brainstorming: Suggesting a large number of solutions or ideas and
combining them until an optimum is found.
Divide and Conquer: Breaking down complex problem into smaller
one, solvable problems.
Hypothesis testing: Assuming a possible solution to the problem and
testing it.
Lateral thinking: Approaching solutions indirectly and creatively.
Means-ends analysis: Choosing an action at each step and move
closure to the goal.
25. Research: Applying existing solutions to similar type of problems.
Rest cause analysis: Eliminating the cause of the problem.
Trial and error analysis: Testing possible solutions until the right one
is found.
Proof: Try to prove that do problem can’t be solved. The point where
the proof fails will be the starting point for solving it.
The above said are the few techniques of problem solving. A problem
solver adapts his own techniques to solve the problem based on his
experiences.
26. Problem Solving as a means to develop life skills:
Development of self-awareness, self-concept, self-discipline, self-
monitoring, self-image, and open mindedness.
Coping with emotions, this in turn leads to good judgments.
Eliminating self – destructive behavior.
Increasing the ability to plan and choose the effective solution to a
problem.
Acquisition of knowledge.
Gains in self-control and handling the interpersonal problems
Improving constructive behavior.
Development of positive attitude towards life.
27. Conclusion: The following are some of the most important factors to be
considered in the discussion of critical thinking:
Critical thinking is important attribute for success in the 21st century.
We need to carefully define the concept of "critical" thinking and
delineate it from similar concepts such as "creative" thinking or
"good" thinking.
We need to identify expected behaviours and subtasks associated with
critical thinking and develop operational definitions.
We need to complete task analyses, define intermediate goals, and
develop evaluation methods.
We need to identify "best" methods of instruction for each aspect of
the critical thinking process.
28. To help students become successful problem solvers, teachers must accept
those students’ problem-solving abilities often develop slowly, thereby
requiring long-term, sustained attention to making problem solving an
integral part of the learning program. Moreover, teachers must develop a
problem-solving culture in classroom to make problem solving a regular
and consistent part of one’s classroom practice. Students must also buy into
the importance of regularly engaging in challenging activities.
There are many different materials and activities that can be utilized to
help students develop problem-solving skills. As you begin to develop
activities for your students, keep in mind that students of the same
chronological age often function on many different developmental levels.
You must observe each student carefully to see how you can adapt the
activity to meet individual needs.
