Study Notes

Thinking and Reasoning

  • Thinking is a skill that involves more than just knowing facts or stating preferences.
  • Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) apply knowledge, adapt it to different purposes, and require initiative and independence on the part of the thinker.

Thinking Components

  • Reasoning: the cognitive process of using logical and rational thinking to arrive at a conclusion for a provided problem, involving: • Analyzing information • Evaluating evidence • Applying logical principles to reach reasoned conclusions
  • Creative Thinking: the cognitive process of generating innovative ideas or solutions to problems, involving: • Thinking beyond conventional rules • Exploring unconventional perspectives and possibilities
  • Reflection: giving deep or concentrated thought to something, beyond the immediate response to stimuli, involving: • Carefully considering alternatives • Thinking about consequences • Weighing up available evidence • Drawing conclusions • Testing hypotheses
  • Reflective thinking includes critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making.

Thinking and Reasoning

  • Normal thinking is not considered a skill, as it only involves recalling known facts or expressing personal preferences.

Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)

  • HOTS apply knowledge to different purposes and require initiative and independence on the part of the thinker.
  • Components of HOTS:
    • Reasoning
    • Creative thinking
    • Reflection
