Three Steps to Critical Thinking

Three Steps to Critical Thinking | E-Learning and Online Teaching | Scoop.it
Edward Charles Francis Publius de Bono is a bona fide genius. The author, inventor, Rhodes scholar and Nobel prize-nominated economist graduated from college at age 15.
Dennis T OConnor's insight:

Since creative and critical thinking can be taught, I wonder why it isn't (in many American schools)?


One of my proudest moments as a classroom teacher was begin called to the principal's office to be accused by an outraged parent of "Teaching my child to challenge authority!"  


Ah, a job well done. The satisfaction lasts a lifetime.

Dennis T OConnor's insight:

Critical thinkiing is an essential 21st Century Skill.  E-Learning courses (expecially those with facilitated discussion) are great opportunities for practicing critical thinkiing.   Without Critical Thinking, a course can become so boring!

I like this poster. Learning psychology is about explaining or outlining a theory, followed by evidence in the form of research, ending with critical evaluative commentary. This will be helpful for students.

Thank you for sharing.

A useful infographic that not only summarises the attributes of a critical thinker but more significantly, provides a 25 point list of actions teachers can invite students to do in learning activities, to stimulate and develop critical thinking abilities. A great poster for your office wall!
