Bogus "Critical Thinking" Teaching Strategies
Rick Garlikov
There are numerous packaged materials, apart from challenging and informative books, for supposedly teaching "critical thinking" and I am suspicious of most of them because, normally, teaching critical thinking involves thinking along with the students in some way that analyzes and responds reasonably, and when necessary, challengingly, to what they say. And though it is possible to anticipate what students might say, and have some sort of program that responds appropriately when they select certain answers, it is highly unlikely such programs are available, as I am writing this in 2002, that serve well enough to do that properly. Similarly, there are various "teaching strategies" available that are supposed to teach "critical thinking." I want to discuss here three of the sorts of strategies I have seen in middle schools which are often considered to be examples of teaching critical thinking, but which I believe have nothing to do with it. I have numerous articles at my web site , about teaching for understanding and about fostering better thinking, and I will not repeat that material here. I only want to give some examples of strategies which many teachers and schools mistakenly believe teach critical thinking.

Coaching Winners: How to Teach Critical Thinking
There is a new twist to the ageless issue of who is to teach what when how, to whom , and with what effect . The new twist is critical thinking. We, the faculty (who), are to teach critical thinking (what) throughout the curriculum (when), somehow (how) to all health care professional students (to whom) so that the new practitioners will be able to function effectively and creatively (with what effect) in the changing arena of health care after the year 2000. Somehow or other, in a manner and by a method not stated, known, or clearly understood, we, the faculty, are to do this. As faculty, we are the very ones, to a significant degree, who are alumni of an educational system which historically has omitted the very thing we are now to teach. In fact, there is some research which shows that the critical thinking ability of the faculty was not significantly higher than that of their sophomore nursing students if age is statistically controlled as a factor. Fortunately, most teachers are "renaissance" people who are talented in researching, learning, reviving, and adapting information to meet contemporary needs. We can do this. Somehow. The purpose of this paper is to propose a plan of action for meeting this new challenge. I am not suggesting it is

  • What is Critical Thinking? Characteristics of Critical Thinking Why Teach Critical Thinking? Teaching Strategies to Help Promote Critical Thinking Skills ... On the Internet

  • What is Critical Thinking? When examining the vast literature on critical thinking, various definitions of critical thinking emerge. Here are some samples:
    • "Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action" ( Scriven, 1996
      "Most formal definitions characterize critical thinking as the intentional application of rational, higher order thinking skills, such as analysis, synthesis, problem recognition and problem solving, inference, and evaluation" ( Angelo, 1995, p. 6
      "Critical thinking is thinking that assesses itself" ( Center for Critical Thinking, 1996b
      "Critical thinking is the ability to think about one's thinking in such a way as 1. To recognize its strengths and weaknesses and, as a result, 2. To recast the thinking in improved form" ( Center for Critical Thinking, 1996c

    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 [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.

    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."
    Implications for Teaching
    At each educational level, thinking must be practiced in each content field. This means hard work for the teacher. It's much easier to teach students to memorize facts and then assess them with multiple-choice tests. In a course that emphasizes thinking, objectives must include application and analysis, divergent thinking, and opportunities to organize ideas and support value judgments. When more teachers recognize that the facts they teach today will be replaced by the discoveries of tomorrow, the content-versus-process controversy may be resolved (Gallagher, 1975). As McMillen (1986) noted, "It really boils down to whether teachers are creating an environment that stimulates critical inquiry."

    Critical Thinking Across the Curriculum Project Interested in getting started in integrating Critical Thinking Across your Curriculum? Trying to get your faculty colleagues interested in Critical Thinking for their courses? We can help. Our cadre of presenters (all of them teaching faculty) are here to assist you in getting a Critical Thinking Project started on your campus. Our approach involves discussion and activities designed to address four essential tasks. The seminar is designed to devote one session to each of the tasks so that faculty will, at the end of the seminar, have concrete ideas as to how they can integrate Critical Thinking into their courses. Part of the frustration which arises when faculty meet to discuss Critical Thinking is the seeming lack of agreement as to what skills should be included in a definition of Critical Thinking, as well as problems with assessing students' ability to think critically. We believe this is because Critical Thinking involves the identification of successful patterns of thought so that they can be expressed in a somewhat formal manner. This will facilitate the application of the generalized forms to individual disciplines. With this in mind, we have designed the following seminar schedule:
    Session 1. Identify what counts as "success" in a particular discipline:

    Table of Contents
    COMMENTARY
    The convergence of the movements towards more rigorous educational standards and authentic, performance based assessment has elicited a simultaneous focus on the development and assessment of critical (or, higher order) thinking skills. One definition of critical thinking developed by the Kellogg Center for Adult Learning Research (Montana State University) is: "a parallel process by which individuals analyze given information in a contextually specific situation and create new ideas, concepts, or constructs based on their analysis." Alternate definitions abound, however, and are covered in the ERIC documents that are cited below. Two of the most important issues pertaining to the promotion of critical thinking skills in the classroom are: 1) changes in teachers' classroom management techniques, and 2) assessments that go beyond the measurement of mere recall. Therefore, the appended citations reflect: 1) both interdisciplinary and subject-specific approaches to the incorporation of critical thinking skills into elementary, secondary, and postsecondary curricula, and 2) the assessment of critical thinking skills by both standardized and non-standardized measures.

Yet, most students try to learn not by reason, but by rote memorization. They blindly memorize someone else’s answers. Even when they do well on tests, it isn’t because they truly understand. True understanding requires disciplined reasoning. The How to Teach Series offers a penetrating, in-depth look at ways to cultivate intellectually powerful minds. This series of nine one-hour videos, featuring Dr. Richard Paul, focuses on how to break out of the didactic mode, taking viewers on a journey into a new paradigm for instruction that explicitly fosters reasoned learning; learning that accesses the inner logic of all substantive inquiry. Whatever your subject, the How to Teach Series is an essential guide to help you put reason, accountability, and power back into teaching and learning.

Originally the dominion of cognitive psychologists and philosophers, behaviorally-oriented psychologists and content specialists have recently joined the discussion. The following are some examples of attempts to define critical thinking:
    • ...the ability to analyze facts, generate and organize ideas, defend opinions, make comparisons, draw inferences, evaluate arguments and solve problems (Chance,1986, p. 6); ...a way of reasoning that demands adequate support for one's beliefs and an unwillingness to be persuaded unless support is forthcoming (Tama, 1989, p. 64); ...involving analytical thinking for the purpose of evaluating what is read (Hickey, 1990, p. 175);

    The Problem
    Students come to American Universities with critical skills that are inadequate for college-level scholarship. It is essential not only for their studies, but for their lives and careers that they learn to do analysis to get a clear understanding of the data before they begin to form their opinions about it. In the preface to their book, Asking the Right Questions, Neil Browne and Stuart Keeley make the following observation: . . . we were dismayed at the degree to which students and acquaintances showed an increasing dependence on "experts" textbook writers, teachers, lawyers, politicians, journalists, and TV commentators. As the complexity of the world seems to grow at an accelerating rate, there is a greater tendency to become passive absorbers of information, uncritically accepting what is seen and heard. Humanities courses have a distinct advantage in providing an educational environment for teaching analysis or some form of critical thinking. The subject is fuzzy and represents the way most humans interact with their world and with one another. Because of this, analytic skills learned in this environment have applications in a variety of people-oriented careers such as teaching, politics, business, mediation/negotiation, criminal law, etc., as well as the obvious uses for personal relationships and communication.
