  1. Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Critical Reading JCTC-DT READING/ACADEMIC SUCCSS GOAL 2001-2002 Use Critical Thinking and Problem Solving skills to learn and use with the content in the Study Skills/Academic Success Courses and Incorporate Critical Reading in the Reading Courses Based onwww.criticalthinking.org/university/gloss/intro.html

  2. CRITICAL THINKING GE 101, DRE 015, DRE 012 • It is thinking about thinking while thinking in order to make thinking better: • more clear, • more accurate, • more relevant, • more deep, • more broad, • and more effective. • Critical thinking approaches all content explicitly as thinking. • It takes thinking apart. • It weaves new thinking into old. • It assesses thinking. • It applies thinking.

  3. CRITICAL THINKING GE 101, DRE 015, DRE 012 • 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. www.criticalthinking.org/university/gloss/intro.html

  4. Problem Solving – GE 101 or DRE 015 • Problem-solving: Whenever a problem cannot be solved formulaically or robotically, critical thinking is required: • first, to determine the nature and dimensions of the problem, • and then, in the light of the first, to determine • the considerations, • points of view, • concepts, • theories, • data, • and reasoning • relevant to its solution.

  5. Problem Solving – GE 101 or DRE 015 • Extensive practice in independent problem-solving is essential to developing critical thought. • Problem-solving is rarely best approached procedurally or as a series of rigidly followed steps. • For example, problem-solving schemas typically begin, "State the problem." • Rarely can problems be precisely and fairly stated prior to • analysis, • gathering of evidence, • and dialogical or dialectical thought • wherein several provisional descriptions of the problem are proposed, assessed, and revised.

  6. CRITICAL READING – RDG 010, 020, 030, CMS 185 • Critical reading is • an active, • intellectually engaged process • in which the reader participates in an inner dialogue with the writer. • A critical reader realizes the way in which reading, by its very nature, means • entering into a point of view other than our own, • the point of view of the writer.

  7. CRITICAL READING – RDG 010, 020, 030, CMS 185 • A critical reader actively • looks for assumptions, • key concepts and ideas, • reasons and justifications, • supporting examples, • parallel experiences, • implications • and consequences, • and any other structural features of the written text, • to interpret and assess it accurately and fairly.
