    Study Notes

    Critical Thinking: Fundamentals of Thinking and Reading

    • Learning Objectives: Differentiate non-critical thinking from critical thinking, identify thinking levels in statements, and formulate higher-order questions from text.
    • Lesson Outline: Includes critical thinking vs. non-critical thinking, levels of thinking, critical thinker qualities, and the importance of critical thinking.

    Critical Thinking vs. Non-critical Thinking

    • Non-critical Thinking: Accepting information without examining it, involves a series of complex thoughts, constructing thoughts based on emotions, jumping to conclusions without proof.
    • Critical Thinking: Making reasoned judgments, solving problems effectively.

    Levels of Thinking

    • Bloom's Taxonomy (1956): A framework classifying thinking levels important for learning.
    • Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (2001): A revised version of the original model, updated for 21st-century students and teachers.
    • Remembering: Retrieving, recognizing, and recalling information.
    • Understanding: Constructing meaning from verbal and non-verbal messages with discussion, description, paraphrasing, or explanation.
    • Applying: Using and implementing knowledge in various situations showing demonstration, solution, or info use.
    • Analyzing: Breaking down ideas into parts, relating parts to one another through comparison, integration, or structuring.
    • Evaluating: Making judgments on the value and validity of ideas and events based on certain rules or standards.
    • Creating: Combining parts to form, design, or create a new output like production, designing or construction.

    Exploring the First Three Levels of Thinking

    • Remembering: Definition, memorization, recalling of information with example questions.
    • Understanding: Discussion, description, paraphrasing, or explanation with example questions.
    • Applying: Use and implementation of knowledge in various situations, demonstration, solution, information use with example questions.

    Higher-Order Thinking Skills

    • Analyzing: Break down ideas into parts, relate parts to one another and use questions needing comparison, integration, or structuring to develop critical analysis.
    • Evaluating: Evaluating value and validity of ideas and events using questions demanding judgement and testing of ideas.
    • Creating: Combining parts to form or design a new output with questions requiring production, designing or construction.

    Activity 1.2 (Individual)

    • Students read a text and classify given questions by their thinking level, then answer each question based on their classification. Relevant passage is included for context.

    Qualities of a Critical Thinker

    • Inquisitive: Examing and evaluating information carefully.
    • Open-minded: Not settling for a superficial level of interpretation.
    • Objective: Examining information without irrational emotions clouding judgment.

    Importance of Critical Thinking in Reading and Writing

    • Reading: Recognizing different texts, analyzing/reacting intelligently, comprehending messages, applying them to real-life situations, maximizing learning by evaluating materials.
    • Writing: Creating well-written texts with clear purposes, evaluating and distinguishing information sources for use.
