Neil Browne Michael D. Meuti College students develop the skills and attitudes that faculty encourage. Critical thinking is perhaps the most oft-cited post-secondary learning objective, although common classroom practice belies its importance. Based on 25 years of conducting critical thinking faculty development programs on dozens of campuses, the authors suggest ways by which instructional development workshops can reduce the gap between aspirations to teach critical thinking and effective critical thinking pedagogy. The suggestions are separated logically into the steps of preparation, delivery of the workshop, and post-workshop follow up. The critical roles played by campus administrators, key faculty, and post-workshop mentors are highlighted as vital partners enhancing the actual workshop. Curriculum proposals and postsecondary mission statements pay homage to the importance of critical thinking (Arons, 1985,6). On behalf of students, those efforts tout the value of reasoned evaluation skills for future citizens (Shaw, 1996). But how do we intend to move from the call to encourage critical thinking to the integrated classroom effort required to implement critical thinking into our pedagogy?

A ToolBook Application: Using Computer Puzzles To Teach Critical-Thinking Skills KEYWORDS: Critical-thinking, Computer Puzzles, Teaching Strategies Dr. Alfred Benney Fairfield University North Benson Road Fairfield, CT U.S.A. 06430-7524 Email: Benney@FAIR1.Fairfield.edu Fax: 203-254-4105 Voice: 203-254-4000 x2398 The Problem Students come to American Universities with critical skills that are inadequate for college-level scholarship. It is essential not only for their studies, but for their lives and careers that they learn to do analysis to get a clear understanding of the data before they begin to form their opinions about it. In the preface to their book, Asking the Right Questions, Neil Browne and Stuart Keeley make the following observation: . . . we were dismayed at the degree to which students and acquaintances showed an increasing dependence on "experts" textbook writers, teachers, lawyers, politicians, journalists, and TV commentators. As the complexity of the world seems to grow at an accelerating rate, there is a greater tendency to become passive absorbers of information, uncritically accepting what is seen and heard. Humanities courses have a distinct advantage in providing an educational environment for teaching analysis or some form of critical thinking. The subject is fuzzy and represents the way most humans interact with their world and with one another. Because of this, analytic skills learned in this environment have applications in a variety of people-oriented careers such as teaching, politics, business, mediation/negotiation, criminal law, etc., as well as the obvious uses for personal relationships and communication.

Outcomes Assessment With A Focus on Critical Thinking in Psychology: Sources And Ideas by Dr. James Bell, Howard Community College, Columbia, MD [[Note:: Our college is into outcomes assessment by courses as well as for graduates. Here are the sources I have found in psychology with an emphasis on critical thinking. I am interested in sources you know. Please email me at jbell@howardcc.edu Updated as of 1/97. ]] TABLE OF CONTENTS Focusing on Psychology Recent Attempts to Define Critical Thinking Articles on Teaching and Assessing Critical Thinking General Sources on Outcomes Assessment Focusing on Psychology Teaching of Psychology "Teaching students to think critically is a widely endorsed goal of higher education. Although writers disagree about the definition of critical thinking, many agree that its focus is the analysis and evaluation of claims. . . . Critical thinking has many functions, such as (a) evaluating the arguments of others, (b) evaluating and gaining confidence in one's own arguments, (c) resolving conflicts, and (d) understanding and coming to a resolution in complex problems. . . . A primary objective in teaching students to think critically is for students to learn to use these skills beyond the classroom. One method to promote the transfer of these skills is to give students practical situations in which they apply the strategies and practice thinking critically." (p. 46) Angelo, T. (1995, February).

Craver, Kathleen W., Using Internet Primary Sources to Teach Critical Thinking Skills in History . (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1999), xx, 258, $39.95 (hardcover). [Editor's Note: This work won the The AAHC award for the Best Book published in 1999. For more information on the awards see: http://mcel.pacificu.edu/JAHC/JAHCIII1/prizes00.html] Using Internet Primary Sources to Teach Critical Thinking Skills in History is a fine example both of the best of the new scholarship about the web, and of the most skillful ways to use that resource. Craver is an educational media library scholar who desires to integrate the Internet into the classroom and this work makes a giant stride in that direction. This effort is a great resource which will benefit all who teach history, from grade school to graduate school, and also should be used in teacher’s colleges in teaching how to teach history and critical thinking skills. It demonstrates both activities that teachers can use, and also how to think about teaching and learning. Unlike many works, it does not merely discuss theory, nor simply provide resources, but provides both the analytical basis and the raw material, working well where "the rubber meets the road." This is a fine work, recommended for all who wish to use Internet sources to teach critical thinking, whether or not in history. Scott Merriman University of Kentucky

ED326304 90 How Can We Teach Critical Thinking? ERIC Digest. Author: Carr, Kathryn S. ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education, Urbana, Ill. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC The need to teach higher order thinking skills is not a recent one. 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." 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 every course, and especially in content subjects, students should be taught to think logically, analyze and compare, question and evaluate. Skills taught in isolation do little more than prepare students for tests of isolated skills (Spache and Spache, 1986). The same criticism may be made with regard to commercial thinking skills materials. However, when such materials are integrated with content, they may become effective tools for attacking real issues.

Integrating Critical Thinking Skills Into the Classroom WARNING: Use links with *** at your own risk. They take you to web pages OFF this site which crash some machines. By Anne Buchanan Introduction "WHAT IS CRITICAL THINKING?" The term "Critical Thinking" is intimidating! It is often perceived as an esoteric exercise of the mind, an intangible pursuit, reserved for the likes of Socrates, Aristotle and Einstein. However, for me, critical thinking is best defined simply as "what you generate, you know." Only those who can reconceptualize content for themselves have truly learned it. Critical thinking is not just one more thing you tack on to your Science curriculum. It is the fundamental approach you use to address that curriculum. Critical thinking is disciplined, self-directed thinking. It requires thinking about your thinking while you are thinking in order to make your thinking more clear, more accurate and more defensible. Indeed, scientists do this already every time they use the scientific method. They ask questions, gather and assess relevant information, come to well-reasoned conclusions/solutions, and they communicate effectively when they write up results. The traits of a good scientist ARE the traits of a well-cultivated critical thinker. The ultimate goal of using critical thinking instruction in a science course is to get students to think like a scientist thinks.

Hosted By MAGICIAN URGES ATHEISTS TO TEACH KIDS CRITICAL THINKING by Swapna Venugopal J ames Randi , a professional magician known as " The Amazing Randi ," urged people to "encourage critical thinking, especially among young children," as he addressed the American Atheists 25th National Convention yesterday. "Critical thinking should be taught particularly to young children," Randi said, "because they are going to run the world after we are gone." Around 150 atheists attended the convention in Piscataway to support atheist youth and families, said Ellen Johnson , the organization's president. One of the main concerns of the group is unconstitutional religious expression in public schools, said Johnson. "We are also against child circumcision in the name of religion."

40. Education Book Review/Using Internet Primary Sources To Teach Critical Thinking M. VanFossen, Phillip J. (2001) Using Internet Primary Sources to teach critical thinking Skills in Government, Economics, and Contemporary World Issues. http://www.lib.msu.edu/corby/reviews/posted/shiveley.htm

Using Internet Primary Sources to Teach Critical Thinking Skills in Government, Economics, and Contemporary World Issues. Westport, CN: Greenwood Press This book is part of the Greenwood Professional Guides in School Librarianship Series. Other titles in the series discuss using primary sources to teach critical thinking skills in history, geography, the sciences, world languages, and mathematics. The book is arranged into three parts. Part I presents an overview of critical thinking and discusses how critical thinking pertains to the social sciences. Part II defines primary sources and provides instructional strategies for using primary source documents in the classroom. Part III identifies 118 web sites containing primary source documents. Each site description contains an abstract of the site, a set of questions and activities designed to promote critical thinking skills, and a list of other related sites. Since teaching with technology, incorporating active learning techniques, and developing students' critical thinking skills are goals for many teachers today, a book providing practical suggestions for accomplishing these ambitious goals could prove extremely valuable. The first two sections provide a thoughtful framework and fairly lengthy bibliographies, and the third section provides specific suggestions for what sites to use. Overall, the book includes a nice balance of the theoretical and the practical. The authors are realistic about possible pitfalls involved in using Internet resources, and they discourage having students engage in activities requiring extensive surfing. Instead, they suggest directing students to primary sources that the teacher, with the help of this book, has identified.
