Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education Urbana IL. How Can We Teach Critical Thinking? ERIC Digest. 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.

Teaching Teaching Queen's home page QUB Policy on Student Skills 1 Introduction The development of skills is now high on the Government's agenda for education at all levels, as a way of ensuring that the UK workforce remains competitive in the global market. Individuals need the relevant skills to help them adapt to a society characterised by changing patterns of employment, the decline of traditional jobs, the growth of new technologies and the need to develop a proactive approach to change. The Dearing report in 1997 stressed the importance of developing skills within the higher education curriculum. While support for skills development has always been implicit within the curriculum, universities are now taking action to make skills more explicit within programmes of study. The Learning and Teaching Committee has therefore approved the following University-wide strategy for Queen's to encourage and support the development of skills in all students. 2 Policy Statement (a) Categorising and Defining Skills The three categories of skills described below should be an integral part of the students' learning experience at Queen's and should be developed and supported.

The ERIC/OSEP Special Project Development funded by the U.S. Office of Special Education Programs NEWS BRIEF How to Teach Social Skills Effectively Social skills training can be effective, but only if certain conditions are met, according to researchers Frank Gresham, George Sugai, and Robert Horner. The trio reviewed a number of meta-analyses of research results on the effectiveness of social skills training, and found hope for teachers who are looking for successful instructional approaches for students with disabilities. To be effective, social skills training must be individualized, taking into account the skills the student already has and addressing the student's specific deficits. Additional qualities that are necessary for effective SST are: Since social behavior is contextual, training must specifically address how to transfer skills to situations other than those in which they were taught. "Social skills training," the authors state, "should result in substantive and durable change in the social competence of a student throughout the school day, not just the acquisition of an isolated skill." The most effective SST strategies combine modeling, coaching, and reinforcement procedures.

Study Skills "Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence." Abigail Adams Good study skills are essential for good students. Since you are all good students, it is assumed you have good study skills. Do you? Take this simple test to determine the quality of your study skills. You probably already know your strengths and weaknesses; however, this test will remind you of possible areas that could be improved upon. Tutors are students who are successful learners. They have learned how to learn. As a tutor, it is your responsibility to communicate the principles of effective learning to your students. A good majority of the students who seek tutoring do not have good study skills. If these students took a course on study skills, it would probably cover a broad spectrum of subjects including, time management, memory skills, test taking skills, listening skills, notetaking skills, how to read a textbook, and learning styles. There is a wonderful site entitled "Links to a Better Education."

Skills (That May Be) Obtained During Graduate Study in Psychology G raduate training in psychology can provide many skills that are useful outside academic and scientific settings. The particular skills gained will depend on both the breadth and the depth of the training. Experience on both the breadth and depth dimensions is important. Perhaps the most generalizable skills are information gathering, analysis and synthesis skills, methodological skills, and statistical reasoning skills. Although all of these skills may not be acquired by all graduate students in the course of their study, graduate students may acquire these skills by a thoughtful selection of courses and experiences. General skills Action oriented, take initiative Bright, energetic, learn quickly Understand and know how to deal with people Can work on several problems at once Are good team workers Are dependable and get things done Can negotiate effectively Information gathering and reporting skills Literature searches (paper and electronic) Structuring conversations (e.g., interviews) to obtain information

LD and ADD/ADHD Question and Answer by Jerome J. Schultz, Ph.D. Please Read Our Q. A co-worker asked me to teach her 14-year-old how to read. She's reading on a 2.5 grade level. What are some ways I can help her without boring her to death with children's books and games? Where do I even begin helping her with comprehension and phonics? A. In order to teach this girl how to read you need to know what her problem is. That means knowing the cause of her reading disability. Here is a checklist to consider in answering this question. 1. Has she been taught poorly or has she moved from school to school? If this is the case, then she might benefit from a modified "adult literacy" program. This means that she would be taught to read in a systematic fashion, with the assumption that there are no real barriers, such as learning disabilities or mental retardation, to her acquisition of reading skills. In this case, you could use almost any good reading text from a public school and get her vocabulary words from her daily life, and from the newspaper, and magazines that she might like. For ideas about how to teach phonics, you might try two excellent books by Patricia Cunningham: Phonics They Use: Words for Reading and Writing and Making Words 2.
