Critical Thinking Skills - Developing Effective Analysis and Argument(2)
Related papers
Critical thinking includes the component skills of analyzing arguments, making inferences using inductive or deductive reasoning, judging or evaluating, and making decisions or solving problems. Background knowledge is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for enabling critical thought within a given subject. Critical thinking involves both cognitive skills and dispositions. These dispositions, which can be seen as attitudes or habits of mind, include openand fair-mindedness, inquisitiveness, flexibility, a propensity to seek reason, a desire to be wellinformed, and a respect for and willingness to entertain diverse viewpoints. There are both generaland domain-specific aspects of critical thinking. Empirical research suggests that people begin developing critical thinking competencies at a very young age. Although adults often exhibit deficient reasoning, in theory all people can be taught to think critically. Instructors are urged to provide explicit instruction in critical th...
Academic Perspective Procedia
Critical thinking skills are seen as a required quality that students should acquire in order to excel on their education journey. Critical thinking skills enable students to critically analyze materials and improve their analytical, argumentative and communication skills. Using critical thinking skills students are able to evaluate different arguments and based on that knowledge resolve different conflicts and come up with solutions to problems they experience in their lives. The main aim of this paper is to analyze some conceptions of critical thinking skills, to investigate the importance of critical thinking skills for students, and to examine the need for teaching strategies to develop students’ critical thinking. If we are to revive critical thinking in our education system, especially in English language teaching, then we must give opportunity to train, learn, adapt, and of course teach how to evaluate such assessment. This sums up the purpose of this paper, which beside disc...
VEDA’S JOURNAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE (JOELL), 2016
Language and thinking are unique abilities of human beings that separate them from other living things. The word "thinking" is used in many senses; generally we can say "we are because we think". It is an automatic process. But in the case of "Critical Thinking" (CT) we must teach the learners how to become a critical thinker and how to apply "Critical Thinking Skills" (CTS) in their day to day life as well as academic setting in order to get required results from a particular situation; problem; circumstance; or a plan. One of the products of a liberal undergraduate education is the ability to think critically. In practice, Critical Thinking is a skill that undergraduate learners are supposed to master as they complete their studies. Moreover the present education system focuses more on teaching facts rather than how to think. Since there is little emphasis on how to think at School and Intermediate level, undergraduate learners lack CT abilities. In this rapidly changing information age learners to a great extent need CTS for their academics, professional career, and life itself. In fact, it is very essential to teach learners at undergraduate level CTS along with other language skills such as Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing.
SOCIAL WELFARE: INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH
The article discusses the construction of the critical thinking concept in higher education and its change in scientific publications between 1993 and 2017. Based on a systematic literature review, the following research questions are raised: how does construction of critical thinking concept change in the context of higher education during time? How are personal, interpersonal, and social aspects expressed in the concept of critical thinking in the context of higher education? The systematic literature review revealed significant grow of publications starting from 1998. It is also disclosed slight change in treating critical thinking as purely general or domain-specific competence. The authors of the researched articles do not make clear division between critical thinking as a general and as a domain-specific competence. Researchers in different fields tend to associate critical thinking with the development of a person’s cognitive and intellectual capacities, including skills and...
