Home Page Planning and Resources Teaching Critical Thinking Skills Through Literature An interview with Donna Miller Prentice Hall: What do we mean by critical thinking in the 2000s? How has the focus changed over the years? Donna Miller: Expectations are that a critical thinker not only has the ability to analyze and problem-solve in academic situations, but has the ability to use those thought processes in any situation, including personal and social situations. The word critical is redundant, for all thinking is critical. PH: Critical thinking experts tell us that knowledge is stored in our memories in interrelated knowledge structures they call schemata. That being so, how important is it to activate prior knowledge and personal experience before requiring students to interpret a new text? DM: Our human minds, from our infancy onward, automatically search for familiar ground when encountering the unfamiliar. We are looking for links for comprehending the unknown. Educators can help students make those connections by providing activities that lead up to a new learning experience that may be difficult to comprehend independently.

Teaching Literature and multimedia – Presentation of Slovenian project work World from Words Milena Blazic, Ph. D. University of Ljubljana, Slovenia Introduction Over the past decade there has been a rapid development of multimedia in education. Multimedia is the term used to describe a hypertext system that incorporates a variety of media besides text, including graphics, animation, video, sound, and hypertext links. Multimedia has enormous potential in the classroom, especially at elementary level, with a number of advantages for experiencing literary texts, as it calls on all the language skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing) as well as viewing skills. Up to now multimedia has largely been used as supplementary resource, for follow-up activities or as a form of reward in the classroom, but it can also provide a significant basis for literary instruction. For some teachers multimedia may appear to be a reductive, even a trivializing, tool, compared to the conventional linear, verbal act of reading literature, a view that students do not seem to share. However, the introduction of the computer should force teachers to rethink their practices, while students should be motivated to learn in a new way. The use of multimedia also reflects changes in literature teaching methodology. Presentation of Slovenian project World from Words The Slovenian project World from words consists of a series of textbooks for 4 th to 9 th grade, accompanied by CD, videocassette and website (

The English teacher understands and uses standard American English while recognizing historical, social, cultural, and technological factors that have influenced the development of the English language. The teacher analyzes the ways in which social forces affect norms of usage and shape variations among dialects; understands social and personal conflicts that may arise from differences in language or dialect; and uses instructional approaches that help students interpret forms of written expression from different historical periods, regional perspectives, and cultural and ethnic traditions. Competency 003 The English teacher understands the interdisciplinary applications of language and guides students in transferring language strategies and concepts to their learning in other disciplines and in their daily lives. The English teacher connects language competence to learning in other disciplines; fosters study skills such as previewing, varying reading rate according to purpose, and applying test-taking strategies; and guides students to use oral and written language as tools for thinking and learning (e.g., predicting outcomes in a science experiment, writing an explanation of a problem-solving process in math). The teacher facilitates students' ability to transfer knowledge and skills learned in English classes to their work across the curriculum and to their lives outside the classroom (e.g., drawing analogies between literature and other life experiences).

58. Details About The Major In Film And Media Studies students in film and media studies need to gain the same kind of insider’s understandingof the tools of the trade that literature students learn by writing. http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~fms/about.html

Details about the Major in Film and Media Studies As our national and international cultures become increasingly dominated by visual culture, we acknowledge the need to study those forms which provide our chief sources of entertainment and information. This need speaks to our desire to become critical viewers, knowledgable in the history of the most popular art forms of our century and possessing the analytical skills to understand and interpret visual forms of expression. The undergraduate major in film and media studies requires the rigorous study of history and aesthetics in an attempt to understand the creative force of an individual art work, its relation to other artistic production, and its place in culture. Furthermore, because film and media creations are most often produced within an industrial context, the student of film and media must also study industrial and business practices. Students who gain skills in writing and analysis, as they should in any rigorous course of study in the humanities, can work in many professions, such as journalism and publishing, business, law, medicine, social work, and teaching. Film and media majors who seek careers in the entertainment and information industries will certainly gain an intellectual perspective on these forms that should enhance their professional lives. But this major will also benefit any student looking at other possible professions because it shares the aim of a liberal arts curriculum to train students in rigorous analytical thinking and provide them with historical knowledge.

The logic based programming language LOGO has been widely used in schools and widely evaluated. Results seem equivocal. Simon (1987) surveys a number of evaluations to conclude that Papert’s hopes that using LOGO would lead to the emergence of general problem solving skills were ‘pipe dreams’ and ‘technoromanticism’. Underwood and Underwood’s survey of evaluation results is much more positive (1990). Liao and Bright (1991, quoted in Kirkwood, 1998) conducted a meta-analysis of sixty-five classroom based studies into the relationship between computer programming and general cognitive skills, using quantitative comparisons between treatment and control groups. Their main conclusion is that programming can provide a mildly effective approach to developing students’ cognitive skills in a classroom setting.

In order to proceed a more productive literature review, it is recommendable for reviewers to design a frame that consists of their research questions or purpose of the review.
