Instructional Design Hints: For instance If thinking or reasoning is thinking
for a purpose, then am I designing my instruction so that students have to think
through the purpose of what they are doing?

it
also can mean that students learn more information than when the material is
simply "covered" because they actively use it and have more chances to clear up
confusion. There are some skills to do that...

Actively engaging in critical thinking is at the heart of the questioning process. To foster this process, we must guide and support the learners' critical thinking. There are two basic types of critical thinking strategies: those that enhance the focusing of ideas and those that extend patterns of thought.

Sometimes it is helpful to get students involved in discussion of or thinking
about course material either before any theory is presented in lecture or after
several conflicting theories have been presented. The idea in the first case is
to generate data or questions prior to mapping out the theoretical landscape; in
the second case, the students learn to assess the relative merits of several
approaches.

In
Teaching Students to Think Critically, Meyers proceeds on the commonsense
assumption that critical capacities are content-specific. And, indeed, the
intellectual skills needed to solve problems in fluid dynamics are not the same
as those required to successfully analyze and critique works of art.

Want to help students excel in every area of the curriculum? Then help them
learn and practice critical thinking skills. And that is just what Thinkology, a
new series from Heartsoft, aims to accomplish.
