A hybrid medium between an alternative news source and think tank: a place where ideas are shared. a place where solutions are worked out. a place where substances are allowed to help ideas flow. a place to talk shit. Rules of Conduct: don’t feel intimidated because you don’t feel you have the qualifications to share. don’t feel you have to be an authority in the topic shared. we can only be the authority figures in our lives. we are the authors of our story. use simple basic English.

Metacognition is one of the buzz words in educational psychology, but it is not always clear what is meant by metacognition. Metacognition refers to higher order thinking that involves active control over the cognitive processes engaged in learning. Because metacognition plays a critical role in successful learning, it is important to study metacognitive activity and development to determine how students can be taught to apply their cognitive resources through metacognitive control. The term...

The purpose of this article is to analyse how students use inscriptions as tools for thinking and learning in mathematical problem-solving activities. The empirical context is that of learning about geometric series in a small group setting. What has been analysed is how students made use of inscriptions, self-made as well as those provided by text books and teachers, and the role these inscriptions played in the coordination of students' learning/communication. Through the use of inscriptions...

Results of the Cognitive Holding Power Questionnaire completed by 480 Australian technology education students suggest that design-based technology classes develop higher-order thinking skills. Teachers are attempting to balance support with student autonomy and control while shifting to learner-centered instruction. However, they may be emphasizing doing over thinking and planning.

This paper builds upon discussions of the importance of semantic or intuitive work in proving by identifying three ways in which experienced mathematicians use example objects in constructing and evaluating proofs. It observes that students often do not use objects in these ways, and discusses the pedagogical question of how we might teach students to be more effective in proving by designing instruction to focus their attention on relevant objects. Data are drawn from interviews with five...

Noting that analogy is widely considered to be an important mechanism of scientific thinking and a source of creative insight in theory development, this report considers the implicit constraints that determine analogical soundness. The report first examines the constraints that govern analogical reasoning as it is predicated currently. The report then traces the scientific uses of analogy through three time periods and contrasts the styles of analogizing practice by scientists at different...

In the last two articles, the authors introduced the concept of Socratic questioning and its relationship to critical thinking. They illuminated how understanding the concepts embedded in critical thinking naturally generates questions. For example, a thinker who understands the elements of thought asks questions which probe the parts of thinking. A thinker who understands the role of intellectual standards in disciplined reasoning asks questions that target the assessment of thinking. A...

The development of ethical reasoning abilities is vitally important--both for living an ethical life and creating an ethical world. In this article, the authors set out some of the foundations of ethical reasoning. Their aim is to introduce some important intellectual tools and understandings for insightfully reasoning through ethical issues and problems. They highlight native egocentrism as a fundamental barrier to ethical reasoning.

This paper proposes that the current interest in critical thinking is based on important conceptual, epistemological, and procedural confusions. It suggests that the attempt to identify a successful critical thinking construct mirrors the search for miracle tonics often peddled by snake oil salesmen as a medicinal cure-all. It goes to suggest that rather than attempting to rehabilitate the critical thinking discourse in some new fashion, educators and researchers simply abandon the discourse in...

For a college study strategies course, we utilized Macrorie's (1988) I-Search process to facilitate students' individual exploration of the typical "study skills" issues that such a course would cover. The I-Search promotes active reflection, evaluation, and synthesis, and is an excellent tool both for aiding students in learning new information and for learning about the essence of scholarship. The result was a multi-layered learning opportunity to use the processes of scholarly...

Over the past few years, we have worked with teachers to help them better integrate technology into their classrooms, and we have come to realize that more attention needs to be paid to this during the planning process if it is to be the result of good curriculum design. As we designed professional development workshops to address this need, we realized that a brief review of educational hierarchies and methodologies was often helpful.

This paper addresses contemporary (i.e., postmodern) concerns with the disintegration of meaning and fragmentation of knowledge. As society continues to move towards increased specialization and separation of disciplines, people are becoming increasingly disconnected from the broad connecting conceptions within the disciplines, i.e., the patterns that bridge the disciplines, to the natural world, and to each other. A potential remedy, based on the work of Gregory Bateson and Mary Catherine...

What is it about teaching that draws teachers to a culture of education? What kinds of experiences influence teachers' selection of content and pedagogy? It is often the teaching moments that fall outside of the planned course of tasks that become collaborative constructions of the teaching and learning experience. In order to enjoy and benefit from such moments, it is important for teachers to be passionate about their job, be willing to be vulnerable, explore new ways to teach, make the...

In our last critical thinking column we introduced the idea of intellectual standards and pointed out that all natural languages are repositories for such standards, which, when appropriately applied, serve as guides for assessing human reasoning. We argued that intellectual standards are necessary for cultivating the intellect and living a rational life, are presupposed in many concepts in modern natural languages, and are presupposed in every subject and discipline. In this column, the second...

Through six video clips and accompanying commentary, the author argues that by carefully observing how very young children play, adults can gain insight into their high-level thinking and their knowledge, as well as the implications that their strategies hold for their assumptions, theories, and expectations. Adults can then become more protective of children's time during play, more skillful in making a parallel entry into their world, and more effective in helping them extend or reconsider...

The domain of number theory lends itself particularly well to generic argument, presented with the intention of conveying the force and structure of a conventional generalized argument through the medium of a particular case. The potential of generic examples as a didactic tool is virtually unrecognized. Although the use of such examples has good historical provenance, the suggestion that they might be an alternative to formal proof tends to be viewed as a kind of heresy from the perspective of...

The central premise of this paper is that there is a group of visual thinking skills which are becoming increasingly foundational and basic to the education of a contemporary citizenry. These skills are becoming more vital as the use of digital imagery increases. The skills are independent of the external technologies (i.e., hardware and software) that amplify their necessity; they are internal technologies of the human mind. (Contains 20 references.) (JLB)

Richard Paul is one of the leading figures in the critical thinking movement. Paul defines critical thinking as disciplined, self-directed thinking that exemplifies the perfections of thinking appropriate to a particular mode or domain of thinking. This definition of critical thinking also takes into account the interests of diverse persons or groups. Moreover, Paul maintains that "future logic," in contrast to "past logic," drives the entire critical thinking movement...

In this study two complementary models, which were based on the strengths of existing models, were developed to analyze students' critical thinking skills. One model was used to categorize the types of critical thinking displayed by students; the other was used to evaluate the quality of the critical thinking. The models were refined and tested for usefulness through an analysis of students' messages posted in two sequential two-week computer conferences. The study also examined the level of...

Universities are by their nature learning based organizations. They deliver knowledge to the students through teaching processes. Students acquire knowledge through learning processes, from their professors and from other different knowledge resources. Since learning is a fundamental process within any university, people may consider universities as being learning organizations. This is a major error, especially in the former socialist countries. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that...

In a previous article in this series, it was suggested that it is part of our responsibility as teachers to attempt to induce "perturbations" in our students' mathematical thinking. Especially when teaching seniors and capable students at any level, it is important that we unsettle them, shake their perceptions and attempt, wherever possible, to ensure that they regularly question those things that they take for granted. In this article we consider some more favourite problems:...

Examination of the characteristics of models of Western critical thinking from a different perspective may help educators realize what these models do not allow. Western processes of reasoning are highly Aristotelian, based on Platonic dialectical forms. Relationships of the parts are established upon clearly defined criteria, and the methods tend to be linear. Western logic demands acontextual analyses, and critical thinking urges explicitness to achieve a decontextualized analysis. These...

People find difficulty in performing syllogistic reasoning. This paper outlines some reasons for poor syllogistic reasoning. Representational systems (RS) used in presenting and evaluating syllogisms can be distinguished in terms of attributes such as specificity, expressiveness, and abstraction. Graphical RSs have pedagogical potential because of their expressivity and specificity attributes. The paper looks at four different graphical RSs for supporting syllogistic reasoning: Venn diagrams,...

An experiment compared solving of operational and diagnostic problems after different instruction about a fictitious device. Solution of both kinds of problems was facilitated by instruction (1) that focused on functional relations among components of the device or (2) that focused on states of the individual components. For operational problems, this result contrasted with an earlier finding (Greeno & Berger, 1987) that only functional instruction facilitated inference and learning of...

At the national level there is growing agreement that direct instruction in higher order thinking skills should be a major educational focus. The concern for teaching thinking is also reflected at the local level. To satisfy this growing awareness and perceived need, a number of programs have been developed. Given the widespread interest in teaching thinking and the increasing number of programs to satisfy that interest, it could be assumed that the incidence of direct instruction in thinking...

The levels of critical thinking proposed by R. Paul are described and his theory is compared with that of the procedural knowing approach of M. F. Belenky, B. M. Clinchy, N. R. Goldberger, and J. M. Tarule (1986). The distinction between strong sense and weak sense critical thinking is unique to Paul and central to his theory. Critical thinking in the strong sense expects a person to have insight into his or her own cognitive and affective processes, to be able to reason across categories, and...
