Study Notes
Thinking and Prediction
- Thinking is the process of human reason that strengthens the relationship between stimulus and response.
- It involves the reasonable working of various views with prior knowledge to form new knowledge.
- Thinking can be interpreted as remembering something and questioning its relationship to intended outcomes.
- It involves mentally processing information, rearranging data from the environment, and storing symbols in memory.
Thinking Process
- The thinking process involves understanding, opinion formation, and abstraction.
- Understanding involves three stages: analysis of characteristics, comparison of features, and abstraction of essential traits.
- Opinion formation involves forming relationships between terms, resulting in affirmative, negative, or modal opinion statements.
Critical Thinking
- Critical thinkers engage in active questioning, challenging existing facts and opinions, and welcoming questions in return.
- They listen actively, modify judgments based on new information, and apply knowledge to new situations.
Making Predictions and Reasoning
- Making predictions involves using text information and personal experiences to anticipate what comes next.
- This strategy helps students make connections between prior knowledge and the text.
- Predicting is also used in science, where a prediction is made about the outcome of a future event based on evidence.
Emotions and Critical Thinking
- Emotional thinking considers the intuitive ways we define what we believe to be true.
- It involves recognizing the role of human emotions in communication, decision-making, problem-solving, and overall life.
- Emotional aptitude is crucial in determining how well we can use our skills, including raw intellect.
