Mathematician and author Jan Willem Nienhuys wrote from the Netherlands: I replied to Jan that, unless I'm mistaken, both problems imply that two cards are forbidden together (vowel and odd number; beer and 19-years or under). I think I will try the problem on my classes with Jan's suggested instruction and see if the results vary significantly. (I'll send him the results and he, the mathematician, can tell me whether the difference, if any, is significant!) The social setting would be part of what I'm calling the context that might be why the beer problem is easier to solve for most people. It had not occurred to me that part of the problem might be in understanding the meaning of words like "vowel" and "even," but that is a consideration that should not be taken lightly (unfortunately) and maybe I should try the test with some set-up questions to make sure those taking it understand such terms. Jan replied: I will be very interested in what you find. You might try variations like: if there are two primes on one side, the other side must show their product. This means that if a card shows a single number that is the product of two primes, you don't have to turn it around. If it shows two numbers that aren't primes, you also don't have to turn it around. Obviously the difficulty is that lots of people don't know what are primes, and even if they do so theoretically, some know their tables of multiplication so poorly, that they are at loss what to do when the card shows 42 or 49 or 87 or 36 or 39. Or 10.

One of those talks was given by Dr. Jeff Corey, who teaches experimental psychology at C. W. Post College. His talk was on "The Wason Card Problem" and its role in teaching critical thinking skills. Four cards are presented: A, D, 4, and 7. There is a letter on one side of each card and a number on the other side. Which card(s) must you turn over to determine whether the following statement is false? " If a card has a vowel on one side, then it has an even number on the other side ." For a graphic version of the problem go here . (I suggest you spend a few minutes trying to solve the problem before continuing.) (I hope you have been able to restrain yourself from jumping ahead and have worked out your solution to the problem. Before continuing, try to solve the following alternative version: Let the cards show "beer," "cola," "16 years," and "22 years." On one side of each card is the name of a drink; on the other side is the age of the drinker. What card(s) must be turned over to determine if the following statement is false?

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 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.

CRITICAL THINKING - Teaching Research Skills Introduction During the first three weeks of class seminar students spend the majority of their time doing research on their topic to uncover necessary background information and to help them develop ideas for possible solutions. Students will need guidance during this time.They will benefit greatly from a presentation or activity that introduces them to the concept of developing a research strategy. To reinforce presentation develop an assignment that requires students to work in groups to develop their own research strategy based on one of the models. Then, let students know that the class will be interdependent. Each group will depend on the other groups research. Share with them a set of performance standards for research this will help students understand what you expect and lead to stronger research presentations. In the electronic age, the knowing how to access information is not as important as knowing how to evaluate facts and information efficiently. As a result many information technology departments at universities and secondary schools are putting together strategies for teaching students to move efficiently through the research process. For a brief introduction to the reasoning behind the curriculum work being done on the research cycle check out this short article

Welcome to PHIL 137, Critical Thinking . This unit aims to teach the fundamentals of critical thinking and reasoning. You will learn how to construct, analyse and critically evaluate arguments, how to detect common fallacies in reasoning, and how to think logically and creatively. We teach these skills by looking at arguments from business, law, science, politics, philosophy and articles from newspapers and journals. These sorts of critical thinking skills are an invaluable background, not just for those working in philosophy and the humanities, but for students in any area.
