This document provides information about a critical thinking module, including instructions for student activities and assessments. It discusses key topics like what critical thinking is, different types of thinking, and critical thinking standards. Students are asked to respond to warm-up questions, sketch an invention design, and label and describe their design. They are also instructed to discuss the underlying theories of their design. The document aims to help students develop their critical thinking skills through hands-on activities and practice applying critical thinking concepts.

4. This week’s module will encourage you to think
about how you think critically. In doing the
activities here, you are requested not to use the
internet to google the responses. The activities
are for you to discover how you think and for you
to plan on how you can become a well-cultivated
critical thinker
01
In learning this module, you are encouraged to respond and write your
answers to each of the activities and practice the suggested behaviors.
Memorizing the facts about critical thinking is not the way to learn
critical thinking. The module will help you clarify between observations
and insights. It is important that as a future innovator, we conduct
observations and draw insights for you to be able to design products or
solutions that are truly needed by, and are useful for the user.
It is suggested that you do the activity and read the texts here (in the
order) as presented as these were designed for you to come up with
realizations as you experience the activities.

INTRODUCTION

5. Intended Learning Outcomes (Learning Competencies)
•Illustrate/ Sketch the proposed solution/s to a problem with
comprehensive details and labels
•Discuss comprehensively all the underlying theories involved in
the designed solutions
•differentiate observation from insight
•give your observations and insights from the given media
•identify whether a given idea or statement is an observation or
insight
•provide situations where giving an observation or insight is more
appropriate
•Share thoughts and realizations on learning about observations
and insights

6. Activity 0: Getting-to-know-you!
Part I. Self-Introduction --- Introduce yourself and describe a favorite
hobby, or pet or a place of a favorite vacation place, or your favorite
people (this will help your classmates/instructor get to know you
better). Then write a link to your Facebook post with a picture of what
you just described. Write the description/explanation besides the
picture. Note: make the FB post public so we can access it.
Part II. Now that you are a Senior High student, what should you do for
you to be able to graduate from Sen High or to achieve an outstanding
performance (good grades) in USTP?

7. Activity 1: Lateral thinking and common sense view
Let us pretend that the following are “job interview” questions. What is your response to the
following?
1. A man buys a new car and goes home to tell his wife. He goes the wrong way up a one-way
street, nearly runs into 7 people, goes onto the sidewalk, and takes a shortcut through a park.
A policeman sees all this and still doesn’t arrest him. Why not?
2. Why is it against the law for a person living in Bukidnon to be buried in Cagayan de Oro?
3. A little girl kicks a soccer ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to her. How is this possible?
4. If it took 8 men 10 hours to build a wall, how long would it take 4 men to build the same
wall?

8. Activity 1: Lateral thinking and common sense view
Let us pretend that the following are “job interview” questions. What is your response to the following?
1. A man buys a new car and goes home to tell his wife. He goes the wrong way up a one-way street, nearly runs
into 7 people, goes onto the sidewalk, and takes a shortcut through a park. A policeman sees all this and still
doesn’t arrest him. Why not? (the man walked home)
2. Why is it against the law for a person living in Bukidnon to be buried in Cagayan de Oro? (you can’t bury a
living person)
3. A little girl kicks a soccer ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to her. How is this possible? (she kicked the
soccer ball against a wall)
4. If it took 8 men 10 hours to build a wall, how long would it take 4 men to build the same wall? (0 hours, you
don’t need to build the same wall)

9. Great job!

10. What did you realize
after trying to respond to
Activity 1?
Share on chat.

11. TOPIC 1: What is thinking?
Did you get the correct answers in Activity 1? Now think of the process you went
through while responding to the items. You may have realized that you needed to think
creatively or "outside the box" in order to solve a problem. Not only do they test your
ability to think creatively, but they can also reveal your problem solving skills as well.
If it took you quite a while, your pen did not move to write out the answers
immediately and you paused … you are thinking!
Thinking is purposeful, organized process that
we use to understand the world and make
informed decisions.

12. TOPIC 2: Types of thinking?
Critical and creative thinking capability aims to ensure that students develop: understanding of
thinking processes and an ability to manage and apply these intentionally. skills and learning
dispositions that support logical, strategic, flexible and adventurous thinking.
What is the difference between creative thinking and critical thinking?
Creative thinking is a way of looking at problems or situations from a fresh perspective to conceive of
something new or original. Critical thinking is the logical, sequential disciplined process of rationalizing,
analyzing, evaluating, and interpreting information to make informed judgments and/or decisions.

13. TOPIC 3: What is Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is clear, rational, logical, and independent thinking. It’s about improving thinking by
analyzing, assessing, and reconstructing how we think. It also means thinking in a self-regulated and
self-corrective manner. It’s thinking on purpose.1
Critical thinking involves mindful communication, problem-solving, and freedom from bias or
egocentric tendency. You can apply critical thinking to any kind of subject, problem, or situation you
choose.2
Critical thinking is reasonable, reflective thinking that is focused on deciding what to believe or do. 3

14. TOPIC 4: Critical Thinking Standards
We want to foster an awareness that critical thinking is
more than thinking, it is:
Reflecting Upon
Questioning
Monitoring
Source: Mardis, Payette, Anthony (2008)
Asking question is the heart of critical thinking
Questioning to develop critical thinking requires you
to:
Raise issues
Discover ideas and things
Peruse problematic areas
Seek clarity and relevance of ideas and
Find evidence and make conclusions

23. Assessment: SKETCH THEM OUT
You are going to “design” and “invent” SOMETHING for someone
dear to you. Wow!!! Make sure he/she is going to love it!
RULES for Designing: No such thing as rules. Think outside the
box. You’re only limited by your imagination. Have fun but always
keep in mind who you are designing it for.
Everything around you --- cars, buildings, even our personal
electronic devices --- all started with an idea. This is an exercise in
creative visualization. In the space below, sketch out an idea for an
invention or a concept you think would be cool. Some ideas are
provided (see left side), feel free to come up with your own.

progress?

27. Attendance for this session
– Sept 12 2022
● Link will be provided at the end of the class
for your attendance and some reflections.
You need to submit a screen shot of you
attending the lecture-synchronous session.
So please ensure you take a pic of any of
the lecture time to include you, Ms Amphie.

28. Optional Activity: YOU KNOW THE RULES
(Practicing the Critical Thinking Standards)
You will present these rules and explain to your
partner.
First, assign yourselves as Person A and Person B then
do the activity. Person A presents the rules in 2 mins
and person B asks the questions for the next 3 mins
keeping in mind the critical thinking standards. Be
candid. This should not be scripted, just converse by
asking questions and answering queries. Then
reverse roles. Record your video conversations and
upload in youtube or in google drive and post the link
in our facebook page with your names.
The rules and laws we have in life are meant to guide us and
protect us, and to keep order in our society. Imagine that you get
to make 3 rules that everyone in the world must follow. What rules
would you make and why?
Rule no.1 ______________________________________________
I chose this rule because: _________________________________

Rule no.2 ______________________________________________
