Study Notes What Is Critical Thinking?
By the Walden University Writing Center Staff
Critical reading and critical thinking are intertwined; one cannot quite do one without the other. Kurland (2000) noted that critical reading is about discovering information whereas critical thinking is about evaluating it. Various authors have offered different definitions of the critical-thinking process. Among the most useful definitions is the one provided by Scriven and Paul, who defined it as:
the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth, and fairness. (1987, para. 1)
Another useful definition was provided by Elder (as cited in Critical Thinking Community, 2013), who defined it as “self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking. It requires rigorous standards of excellence and mindful command of their use. It entails effective communication and problem-solving abilities and a commitment to overcoming our native egocentrism and sociocentrism” (para. 4). Because graduate students are moving beyond being simply consumers of knowledge to learning how to make meaningful contributions to that knowledge, it is particularly important that they cultivate strong critical-thinking skills.
Like critical reading, critical thinking is an active process, and with practice one can develop the skills needed to do it more effectively. According to Kurland (2000), there are six key characteristics of critical thinking: rationality, self-awareness, honesty, open-mindedness, discipline, and judgment. Rationality has to do with exercising good judgment based on logic, self-awareness with knowing one’s individuality, biases, and so forth; honesty has to do with integrity and being able to be truthful about one’s biases; open-mindedness is about being able to appreciate differing viewpoints; discipline is about being self-controlled and being objective; and judgment is about being able to form an opinion about something based on the information presented. Each of these characteristics can be develop.

The Process of Critical Thinking
OverfamiliaritSecondy with an idea can lead you to accept the information as true without questioning it. Have you ever spilled salt and then had to throw a pinch of it over your left shoulder? Are you afraid that whistling in the dark will cause bad things to happen? Have you ever wondered where superstitious behaviors originated and why they are present today? When you begin to ask why, you have started the critical-thinking process.
To extend that mode of thinking beyond the exploration of superstitions, critical thinking as part of scholarly work allows you to separate “truth” from existing opinions and biases. In the following Assignment, you will examine the process of critical thinking by identifying your beliefs, your factual knowledge, and how you can separate the two.

Chapter 3. Critical Thinking: The Means to InquireBy Helen Zaikina-Montgomery
Essential Questions
· What does it mean for doctoral learners to think critically?
· What is metacognition, and how is it related to critical thinking?
· Why do doctoral learners need to know how to engage in critical thinking and metacognition?
· What are the main differences between academic and nonacademic publications?
· What is comparative analysis and synthesis of literature?
· What are assertions, and how can researchers avoid making them in scholarly writing?
Introduction
This chapter presents material about critical thinking, metacognition, and comparative analysis of academic literature. Critical thinking and metacognitive functioning include cognitive processes, considered the highest level of Bloom’s taxonomy (Bloom, Englehart, Furst, Hill, & Krathwohl, 1956), such as evaluation, analysis, and synthesis. The ability to think critically about empirical research and findings as well as to critically analyze one’s own writing is essential to the successful completion of a doctoral program at Grand Canyon University (GCU).
Critical thinking involves discipline as well as systematic and unbiased evaluation of facts, using metacognitive strategies to correct and refine one’s thinking processes. This chapter outlines the components of critical thinking, provides examples of how to apply critical thinking in daily life, and presents examples of how critical thinking works in academic reading and writing.
The chapter also presents a discussion of metacognition with examples of the process and application. Finally, this chapter includes examples of comparative analysis and synthesis of academic literature and informs learners about how to critically analyze the material they read. As learners at GCU progress through the doctoral program, critical analysis and synthesis become increasingly important skills to possess and demonstrate in academic work.
Definitions of Critical Thinking
In higher education, critical thinking can be a great mystery, with scholars and administrators failing to reach consensus on how to teach, evaluate, and measure learners’ critical-thinking skills. Colleges vary in their criteria of critical and reflective thinking, but many still include both in important university materials, such as the university or a specific school’s mission statement. Specifically, the mission statement of the GCU College of Doctoral Studies (CDS) highlights reflection as a component of critical thinking:
The College of Doctoral Studies seeks to engage learners in the process of becoming scholar-practitioners by deliberately invoking design principles that create scaffold, embedded curriculum grounded in adult learning theory. The College of Doctoral Studies provides structured, integrative, learning-centered doctoral programs which encourage reflective thinking from learners and collaborativ ...

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.

Classroom Styles as Discerning and Constructivismijtsrd
Constructivism improves thinking skills, statement and social talents, encourages unusual methods of appraisal, helps student's removal skills to the real realm and promotes intrinsic inspiration to learn. Discerning and Constructivism are the big notions in education. Their inferences for how educators teach, and study to teach are immense. Rather than getting ‘knowledge' from professionals in training periods, teachers and executives will have to team up with peers, academics, and their own scholars to make intellect of discerning and constructivism. Merely then we can convert our nation, via education, into an attentive, critical, scientific area, imbued with the desire for truth and for total social prosperity. If we want a futurity that is much more solicitous, vastly more compliant, greatly more concerned, and a lot more amorous, then we have to devise it. The prospect is in our schools, schoolrooms and humanity today.

Enhancing Critical Thinking Skills through Reflective Writing Intervention am...iosrjce
The study that fed this article investigates the progress/development of critical thinking skills through
a reflective writing intervention. It is hypothesized in the study that metacognitive processes underlying
reflective writing and critical thinking interweave. In other words, when students think critically or write
reflectively they tend to use the same cognitive skills as writing in general is a circuit of thinking. Hence, It has
been empirically proven that Reflective writing is a pedagogical strategy, among others, that enhances Critical
Thinking skills of undergraduate students majoring in business, marketing and Finance. Reflective Writing
productions of thirty Moroccan Business College Juniors were assessed, evaluated and scored over on
academic term. The assessment was performed according to the Assessment Rubric for Critical thinking Skills
which was originally designed within the Quality Enhancement plan (QEP) initiative, Georgia State University
2009. Current findings were very significant as the six critical thinking skills defined in the rubric proved major

Critical Thinking
from Philosophy of Education: An Encyclopedia
Critical thinking, though variously defined, refers to good thinking and is connected with rationality and the appeal to reason. Many theorists view critical thinking as central to the aims of education, and it has become the focus for an educational reform movement accompanied by curricular and pedagogical innovations and the development of teaching materials and evaluation procedures. Considerable philosophical debate has centered on how critical thinking should be conceptualized, and discussions regarding critical thinking raise and connect with fundamental issues regarding the nature and aims of education and the nature of rationality.
Philosophers of education have traditionally viewed the fostering of good thinking as an aim of education, and the views of John Dewey, John Passmore, and Israel Scheffler are precursors to contemporary work on critical thinking. Contemporary interest in and debate about critical thinking was initiated largely by the work of Robert Ennis, in particular “A Concept of Critical Thinking” (1962), in which he put forward a detailed conception of critical thinking.
Theorists working in the field of informal logic also contributed significantly to the development of critical thinking theory and practice. The approach that they have taken to critical thinking centers on argumentation. A recognition of the limitations of formal deductive logic has prompted them to focus on the interpretation, evaluation, and construction of arguments in natural language.
The issue of how critical thinking should be conceptualized is a primary philosophical issue in this area. Although a variety of definitions and conceptualizations have been proposed, there are some common features that distinguish philosophical conceptions from more psychologically inspired accounts. All the main philosophical conceptions of critical thinking have as a central concept the idea of good reasons; they are, thus, explicitly normative. Psychological views, on the other hand, focus on the processes or mental operations involved in thinking. These views have been criticized by philosophers on a number of grounds. First, it is impossible to determine what mental operations correlate with particular cases of good thinking. Second, any particular operation can be performed critically or uncritically. What determines whether thinking is critical is the quality of the reasoning and not whether particular mental operations have been performed. All the main philosophical accounts of critical thinking depend, thus, on the concept of reason, and focus on the norms and standards of good thin.

The articles about the 2011 horn of Africa famine note several dif.docxrtodd17
The articles about the 2011 horn of Africa famine note several different causal factors underlying this famine. So I'd like you to think about the fact that there are so many causes here. One task would be to list the causes referred to in the article. I’m going to do this one for you. Here is a list I've made, in part on the basis of another article (so you might not find each of these explicitly in the Mother Jones article). Once you have this list in mind, you may be able to think of others.
· Causes
· drought,
· leading to reduced food production
· Rising food prices
· Internal conflict between warring factions
· Poverty
· Lack of basic infrastructure and governance
· Climate change
· Other causes, sometimes said to be things the famine is blamed on
· US invasion of Somalia in December 1992
· Failure of donor countries to invest properly
· Committing < $200 million when $1 billion needed
· Al-Shabaab militia expelling WFP and other aid agencies
Notice that there is another distinction to be made: within the list, I’ve listed some of them separately as having to do (according to the article) with blame, not just cause. We can think about that later.
But now here’s what I want you to do for the exercise/discussion post:
a. First, say which of these factors you take to be the most “important”, and say why. (It would be great if you could pick just one and say why that's most important, but one problem here is that there are a number of things that can be meant by 'important'.) [about 100 words], AND
b. Second, draw a picture of how you see these different causal factors going together into an overall causal story or picture (which factors cause which other ones, etc.). [I’m assuming you have some way to create a picture that you can attach to your post (if only by drawing a picture in the real world and taking a picture of it with your phone); but if not, describe this as best you can with words.] Then comment on what insights you can get from having done this.

The Assignment (2–4 pages)Discuss something important you lea.docxrtodd17
The Assignment (2–4 pages):
Discuss something important you learned about yourself and how you learned it through introspection or through self-perception.
Do you have an interdependent view of yourself, an independent view of yourself, or both? What is your culture(s), and how does your culture(s) contribute to this view? Provide
one
example of how this view influences your behavior or your beliefs. Your example may include, but is not limited to: (a) how your interdependent or independent self-view influences what kinds of things make you feel especially proud, (b) how your interdependent or independent self-view influences what kinds of things make you feel especially embarrassed, and (c) how your interdependent or independent self-view influences the way you interact with others.
Then, select one specific aspect of your life, such as your role as a student, a spouse, a parent, an employee, or some other role, and apply the social comparison theory to this role.
Briefly discuss a time you engaged in
one
of the following types of self-justification: Justification of effort, external justification, internal justification, or justification of a good deed. What was the source of your cognitive dissonance and how did this self-justification reduce that dissonance?

The Task
Okay, we are finally going to finish off the Huffman application. Last week, we got to the point where we could build the tree and do some simple encoding and decoding. The problem with our technique is that we were converting text into Strings of 0s and 1s. Hopefully, the vast majority realized that this is the opposite of actual compression. Our goal was to
reduce
the number of bits required to encode a character. Instead, we blew it up, replacing one character with a whole String of them! Ouch.
So, we are going to do some bit level work, and learn how to write binary data out to files and read it back in again. The second issue that we have is that once we have an encoded file, we don't have a good way to decode it without first having the original source file, which rather defeats the purpose of compressing the file in the first place. Thus, we need to store a copy of the tree in the coded file. Of course, we want to store the tree in a format we can read back out again, and also doesn't take up too much room...
Background: Canonical form
We would like our Huffman codes to be
canonical
. I gave you an algorithm for picking which character to add next to your Huffman tree that comes close to producing canonical codes, but, sadly, I have to admit it has a flaw. There is an edge case that it can never compensate for. So, we are going to have to do some more work to get it into the canonical form.
The canonical form adds two rules to the way Huffman codes work. First, all codes of a given bit length have lexicographically consecutive values (i.e., not just in order, but immediately consecutive), in the same order as the symbols they represent, and second, shorter codes lexicographically precede longer ones. An example will make this a little clearer...
Suppose we have some piece of text in which the characters A,B,C,and D appear, with the following frequencies [A:1, B:5, C:6, D:2]. We could put these into a Huffman tree and come out with the following codes:
A
001
B
01
C
1
D
000
This is not in canonical form. The first rule is broken because A comes before D, but 000 should precede 001. The second rule is broken because C had a shorter code than B, but 01 precedes 1 lexicographically. Here.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Study Notes What Is Critical
Thinking?
By the Walden University Writing Center
Staff
Critical reading and critical thinking are intertwined; one
cannot quite do one without the other. Kurland (2000) noted
that critical reading is about discovering information whereas
critical thinking is about evaluating it. Various authors have
offered different definitions of the critical-thinking process.
Among the most useful definitions is the one provided by
Scriven and Paul, who defined it as:
the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully
conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or
evaluating information gathered from, or generated by,
observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or
2. communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary
form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend
subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision,
consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth,
breadth, and fairness. (1987, para. 1)
Another useful definition was provided by Elder (as cited in
Critical Thinking Community, 2013), who defined it as “self-
directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective
thinking. It requires rigorous standards of excellence and
mindful command of their use. It entails effective
communication and problem-solving abilities and a commitment
to overcoming our native egocentrism and sociocentrism” (para.
4). Because graduate students are moving beyond being simply
consumers of knowledge to learning how to make meaningful
contributions to that knowledge, it is particularly important that
they cultivate strong critical-thinking skills.
Like critical reading, critical thinking is an active process, and
with practice one can develop the skills needed to do it more
effectively. According to Kurland (2000), there are six key
characteristics of critical thinking: rationality, self-awareness,
honesty, open-mindedness, discipline, and judgment.
Rationality has to do with exercising good judgment based on
logic, self-awareness with knowing one’s individuality, biases,
and so forth; honesty has to do with integrity and being able to
be truthful about one’s biases; open-mindedness is about being
able to appreciate differing viewpoints; discipline is about
being self-controlled and being objective; and judgment is about
being able to form an opinion about something based on the
information presented. Each of these characteristics can be
developed. According to the Critical Thinking Community
