Critical Thinking Across the Curriculum Project Coaching Winners: How to Teach Critical Thinking Contributed by Bonnie Weaver Duldt, Ph.D., R.N. Front Royal, Virginia (Author of SmartPrim - software for teaching Critical Thinking ) Coaching Winners: How to Teach Critical Thinking There is a new twist to the ageless issue of who is to teach what when how, to whom , and with what effect . The new twist is critical thinking. We, the faculty (who), are to teach critical thinking (what) throughout the curriculum (when), somehow (how) to all health care professional students (to whom) so that the new practitioners will be able to function effectively and creatively (with what effect) in the changing arena of health care after the year 2000. Somehow or other, in a manner and by a method not stated, known, or clearly understood, we, the faculty, are to do this. As faculty, we are the very ones, to a significant degree, who are alumni of an educational system which historically has omitted the very thing we are now to teach. In fact, there is some research which shows that the critical thinking ability of the faculty was not significantly higher than that of their sophomore nursing students if age is statistically controlled as a factor. Fortunately, most teachers are "renaissance" people who are talented in researching, learning, reviving, and adapting information to meet contemporary needs. We can do this. Somehow. The purpose of this paper is to propose a plan of action for meeting this new challenge. I am not suggesting it is

At present, asynchronous learning may be the ONLY path to critical thinking for most undergraduates. Perhaps This should be qualified as academic critical thinking. I believe that much of academic online teaching is done backwards. Instead of borrowing from classroom teaching, online education should be revolutionizing it. Let me start out with the radical premise that my undergraduate students at the University of Central Florida find critical thinking and classroom mental processes incompatible. They are in fact dismayed, if not distraught, when asked to think in the classroom. this is not because our students are stupid; we have the second-best GPA and SAT scores in the State University System. It is simply that our students have learned to associate a very low level of mental process with college learning.

Critical Thinking in an Online World Debra Jones Internet Librarian Cabrillo College, Aptos, CA Abstract In a rapidly evolving information technology era, librarians find their foundations of professionalism shaken. Critically evaluating the intrinsic role of the librarian reveals our responsibility for the education of independent information seekers. Using the model of the expert and apprentice, librarians need to focus on the teaching of critical thinking skills, over and above the more mechanistic skills of evaluation of resources and mastery of search tools. The design of instruction in a situated learning environment, utilizing constructivist tenets and a self-directed inquiry based approach leads to higher order cognitive skills and applicable, transferable learning. An instructional design project for teaching critical thinking skills in the evaluation of online resources is described as an example curriculum? On The Abyss The integration of the Internet into our daily lives affects no single profession as completely as that of the librarian. For centuries, information has been archived and accessed through a single location, the library. Instantaneous access to online information, direct dissemination of information as it is created, and interaction and creation of information online, all from the home or office- these are revolutionary and anarchical concepts. Very few among us still deny the pervasiveness of online information access, yet how do we see ourselves leading, and not just reacting, to this revolution?

8. Using Critical Thinking To Conduct Effective Searches Of Online Article on how to teach critical thinking skills in the context of online searching. http://www.michaellorenzen.com/eric/critical-thinking.html

Using Critical Thinking To Conduct Effective Searches of Online Resources by Brem, Sarah K. and Boyes, Andrea J. METACOGNITION Suppose we want to assess the wisdom of high stakes testing, but are unfamiliar with the issue. We might simply enter the phrase "High Stakes Tests" into the ERIC database and retrieve 90 citations. If we quit there, however, we miss items that would be retrieved by combining terms such as "Accountability" with "Test Validity" or "Educational Testing." These searches would produce dozens of additional citations for journal articles, papers, and the like, thus enriching our inquiry. At the other end of the spectrum, we may waste time looking for information that no one has, such as how a small subset of the population performs on a particular test. In short, we need to be able to assess the quality of our search. How Can We Improve Metacognition in Online Searching? Improving metacognition means improving our ability to monitor what we know and how we know it. Here are some ways to accomplish this: Put the project aside for a brief time. Taking a break helps in several ways. When immersed in the process, people often feel they've learned more than they really have. Nelson and Dunlosky (1991) found that a short break improves the ability to accurately assess what's been learned. Also, returning to a problem repeatedly over time improves memory and comprehension, and allows us to take a slightly different perspective each time.

Education pundits have called for renewed interest in problem solving for years. As far back as 1967, Raths, Jonas, Rothstein and Wassermann (1967) decried the lack of emphasis on thinking in the schools. They noted that "...memorization, drill, homework, the three Rs [and the] quiet classroom" were rewarded, while "...inquiry, reflection [and] the consideration of alternatives [were] frowned upon." IMPLICATIONS FOR TEACHING At each educational level, thinking must be practiced in each content field. This means hard work for the teacher. It's much easier to teach students to memorize facts and then assess them with multiple-choice tests. In a course that emphasizes thinking, objectives must include application and analysis, divergent thinking, and opportunities to organize ideas and support value judgments. When more teachers recognize that the facts they teach today will be replaced by the discoveries of tomorrow, the content-versus-process controversy may be resolved (Gallagher, 1975). As McMillen (1986) noted, "It really boils down to whether teachers are creating an environment that stimulates critical inquiry."

10. Critical Thinking Seminar Program How could you teach this process? If we are to integrate critical thinking into our classes, some standard terminology is essential to prevent confusion among http://www.kcmetro.cc.mo.us/longview/ctac/seminarinfo/seminar.htm

Critical Thinking Across the Curriculum Project Interested in getting started in integrating Critical Thinking Across your Curriculum? Trying to get your faculty colleagues interested in Critical Thinking for their courses? We can help. Our cadre of presenters (all of them teaching faculty) are here to assist you in getting a Critical Thinking Project started on your campus. Our approach involves discussion and activities designed to address four essential tasks. The seminar is designed to devote one session to each of the tasks so that faculty will, at the end of the seminar, have concrete ideas as to how they can integrate Critical Thinking into their courses. Part of the frustration which arises when faculty meet to discuss Critical Thinking is the seeming lack of agreement as to what skills should be included in a definition of Critical Thinking, as well as problems with assessing students' ability to think critically. We believe this is because Critical Thinking involves the identification of successful patterns of thought so that they can be expressed in a somewhat formal manner. This will facilitate the application of the generalized forms to individual disciplines. With this in mind, we have designed the following seminar schedule: Session 1. Identify what counts as "success" in a particular discipline:

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC INTRODUCTION This digest concerns itself with the origin of reflective thought, the application of theories about reflective thought to classrooms, conflicts and issues, and a synthesis of the essential ideas. ORIGIN OF THE IDEA OF REFLECTIVE THOUGHT The concept "reflective thought" was introduced by John Dewey in 1910 in his "How We Think", a work designed for teachers. Dewey admitted a debt to both his contemporaries in philosophy, William James, and Charles S. Peirce. Dewey's most basic assumption was that learning improves to the degree that it arises out of the process of reflection. As time went on, terminology concerning reflection proliferated, spawning a host of synonyms, such as "critical thinking," "problem solving," and " higher level thought." DEFINITIONS Dewey's definition of reflective thinking repeated over the years was: "Active, persistent, and careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the grounds that support it and the further conclusion to which it tends". (Dewey, 1933)

Originally the dominion of cognitive psychologists and philosophers, behaviorally-oriented psychologists and content specialists have recently joined the discussion. The following are some examples of attempts to define critical thinking: ...the ability to analyze facts, generate and organize ideas, defend opinions, make comparisons, draw inferences, evaluate arguments and solve problems (Chance,1986, p. 6); ...a way of reasoning that demands adequate support for one's beliefs and an unwillingness to be persuaded unless support is forthcoming (Tama, 1989, p. 64);

That students are lagging in problem-solving and thinking skills is apparent at all levels of education. However, critical thinking courses and texts, in particular, may result in fragmentation of thinking skills. Thinking cannot be divorced from content; in fact, thinking is a way of learning content (Raths and others, 1967). In

The How To Teach Series: A Critical Thinking Approach to Teaching and Learning Home Bookstore Order Form All subjects have a logic to them. Each is a system of meanings that enable us to reason effectively. Yet, most students try to learn not by reason, by rote memorization. They blindly memorize someone else's answers. Even when they do well on tests, it often isn't because they truly understand. True understanding requires disciplined reasoning. The How To Teach Series offers a penetrating, in-depth look at ways to cultivate intellectually powerful minds. This series of nine one-hour videos, featuring Dr. Richard Paul, focuses on how to break out of the didactic mode, taking viewers on a journey into a new paradigm for instruction that explicitly fosters reasoned learning, learning that accesses the inner logic of all substantive inquiry. Whatever your subject, the How To Teach Series is an essential guide to help you put reason, accountability and power back into teaching and learning.

Given the lack of response to this topic, I would like to open the floor for suggestions from members of the listserv. One possible starting point may be one of the topics slated for discussion at the 16th International Conference this year. Other suggestions in a similar vein will, of course, be appreciated. Hot Topics Intelligence vs. Critical Thinking: "Does critical thinking raise intelligence?" Passion vs. Reason: "Is there a role for passion in reason?" Feminism and Critical Thinking: "Has feminism made a contribution to critical thinking?" Politics and Critical Thinking: "Does critical thinking presuppose a political standpoint?" Morality and Critical Thinking: "Can we be a good critical thinker and an immoral person?" Relativism and Critical Thinking: "Is relativism incompatible with critical thinking?" Religion and Critical Thinking: "Is critical thinking incompatible with religious belief?"
