Teaching an Applied Critical Thinking Course: How Applied Can We Get?

The professor applies the critical thinking course. Abstract: Encouraging students to use classroom knowledge in their daily lives is a major problem for many critical thought teachers. For example, students may admit the idea of ​​advertising homosexuality through class exercises, but avoiding the same interpersonal relationships between parents, brothers, and colleagues is another matter for him or her. One way to solve this problem is to create interactive software that students can enter based on their way of thinking.

Developing a critical position - Applying critical thinking to all broad capabilities and trends encountered - It is an important element in teaching critical thinking. It involves identifying the hypothesis - yourself and others - application of this understanding to the information and context of the question and consideration of its context. Please recognize the assumption. Each of us has a series of assumptions, "facts" that seems to be thought and attitude, or naturally. This is the basis of our way of thinking. You can objectively study the situation, problem or problem only when you see these assumptions and think that they are willing to know how to color your conclusions I will.

Of course, critical thinking is valuable not only in schools but also in the world outside the school. If we teach correctly, our students will not only learn how to read, write and apply critical thinking effectively, but also apply it to everyday life. The wonderful result is that they not only infer historical content in their historical textbooks but also that they begin to better understand the "history" of their daily lives, for example as Carla did above is. They not only scientifically infer the contents of science textbooks, but they are also scientifically inferring the "scientific" problem in everyday life. They not only listen to ethical principles when speaking about the character of literary classes, but also begin to use moral reasoning when dealing with the ethical issues of life.
