Critical Thinking with Lisa Nehring
Critical Thinking skills are “An ability to use reason to move beyond the acquisition of facts to uncover deep meaning,” according to Robert Weissberg.
In this episode we’ll define Critical Thinking skills, examine why they are necessary and begin to talk about how to teach them.
Word Study: Critical Thinking Skills come from the Greek word “Kriticos” (meaning discerning judgement) and “criterion” (meaning standards). Critical Thinking Skills mean the word implies the development of “discerning judgment based on standards.”
A critical thinker can deduce as well as infer- they are both an information gathering and a problem solver.
Someone with critical thinking skills is able to do the following:
Critical thinkers are constantly building upon their knowledge and experience. They are able to integrate how data and information can be used to develop, recognize and predict patterns of knowledge and behavior.
How do we teach Critical Thinking?
“Critical thinking skills are far more predictive of making positive life decisions than raw intelligence.” ~ Heather Butler
