Study Notes
Week 11: Thinking Skills
- Thinking is a natural function, not a gift. Research suggests everyone has untapped potential in their brains.
- Brain potential: 100 billion cells, 10 billion neurons.
- Types of thinking skills include; exploring themes (intelligence quotients), practical applications (logic, imagination, invention, innovation), management techniques (facts, understanding, analysis, social skills, creativity, self-knowledge), key points (breaking ideas into points).
Learning Outcomes
- Students will be able to describe thinking models and apply different thinking types in problem-solving.
Thinking Skills
- Thinking is conscious, purposeful mental activity to solve problems.
Thinking Knowledge
- "Thought is the key to knowledge. Knowledge is discovered, analyzed, organized, transformed, and acquired through thought" (Paul, 1993 vii).
The Thinking Process
- Critical thinking involves considering past experiences, likely causes, and necessary information for accurate interpretation of events.
- Good thinking involves understanding "what's that?".
Model of Learning
- MUDD: Memory, Understanding, Doing, Desire
- Memory involves association, repetition, review, paraphrasing, and self-testing.
- Understanding involves making sense of information, relating it to everyday life, questioning, comparing, contrasting, analyzing, synthesizing, evaluating and solving problems.
The Thinking Process
- Essential knowledge is composed of facts, concepts, principles, and procedures.
Barriers to Good Thinking
- Habits of perception (beliefs, preconceived ideas, visual/mental illusions).
- Restricted working memory (7 ± 2 bits).
- Slow conscious processing speed.
Types of Thinking
- Creative thinking.
- Critical thinking.
- Metacognitive thinking (thinking about thinking).
- The slides outline how these types of thinking are interconnected and used for problem solving.
A Model of Thinking
- Displays a cyclical model of how different types of thinking interact (comparison and contrast, inference & interpretation, analysis, metacognition, evaluation, and generating possibilities).
Creative Thinking
- Generating many possibilities.
- Generating different types of possibilities.
- Generating novel possibilities.
- Creative products often involve combining old ideas in new ways.
Critical Thinking
- Comparison and contrast, identifying similarities and differences.
- Analysis, understanding how parts relate to the whole, and consequences result from missing parts.
- Inference and interpretation – drawing conclusions, separating facts from opinions, and identifying connections in data.
- Evaluation – deciding what needs to be evaluated, applying criteria for assessments, and prioritizing the importance of criteria.
Metacognition
- Self-awareness and understanding of thinking processes.
- Active thinking about how to improve thinking style, monitoring its effectiveness, and learning strategies.
- Plan, monitor, and control cognitive resources relative to task demands.
What is Good Thinking?
- Using all six types of thinking effectively and simultaneously to solve problems.
The Key to Good Thinking
- Students should use the six types of thinking consciously.
- Be aware that other actions are essential (motivate yourself, be honest with yourself, acquire necessary knowledge).
Summary
- The presentation emphasized the importance of multifaceted thinking and practical application of these strategies.
