Critical Thinking: 

Critical Thinking You will learn: Review the definition of critical thinking Review the need to teach critical thinking Examine the Elements of Reasoning Wheel Define and view examples of Deductive Reasoning Define and view examples of Inductive Reasoning

Critical Thinking: 

Critical Thinking The mental process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, synthesizing and evaluating information to reach an answer or conclusion. Definition from : http://www.dictionary.com

Think: 

Think Maximizing the use of the Internet for collaboration, research, communication, and production requires teachers to first teach their students to think critically -- this involves a significant paradigm change for most teachers. Using IMMEX to teach critical thinking skills Foundation for Critical Thinking www.criticalthinking.org

Slide23: 

Elements Of Reasoning In attempting to answer a QUESTION, solve a PROBLEM, or resolve an ISSUE. We think for a PURPOSE. Within a POINT OF VIEW. Based on ASSUMPTIONS. Leading to IMPLICATIONS and CONSEQUENCES. We use DATA, facts, and experiences. To make INFERENCES and judgments. Based on CONCEPTS and theories. Whenever we think

A Closer Look atTwo Types of Reasoning: 

A Closer Look at Two Types of Reasoning Deductive Reasoning Inductive Reasoning

Deductive Reasoning: 

Deductive Reasoning Reasoning from the general to the particular (cause/effect) Definition from http://www.dictionary.com

Examples of Deductive Reasoning:: 

Examples of Deductive Reasoning: If it is raining then the ground is wet. It is raining. Therefore the ground is wet.

Examples of Deductive Reasoning:: 

Examples of Deductive Reasoning: From IMMEX problem: Pauls’ Pepperoni Pizza Palace Mascot 'I go to the pizza parties only when we win.' Reasoning: If the team wins, then the Mascot goes to the pizza party. The team won. Therefore, the Mascot will be at the pizza party.

Inductive Reasoning: 

Inductive Reasoning Reasoning from detailed facts to the general. (generalization) Definition from http://www.dictionary.com

Examples of Inductive Reasoning :: 

Examples of Inductive Reasoning : All we ever see are black dogs Therefore all dogs are black .

Examples of Inductive Reasoning :: 

Examples of Inductive Reasoning : Example from IMMEX: Solar System Settlers Interview with the Professor: 'Dude- that ship was totally awesome. I was like right next to it when it landed. I wish I got to see the aliens... The police got there and moved everyone far away- so I couldn't see them. Huh? You need help finding them a home? I don't know nothin' like that. Earth is a good enough home for me. There's lots of smart people around here- ask one of them. I've gotta meet my friends at the beach.'

Examples of Inductive Reasoning :: 

Examples of Inductive Reasoning : Example from IMMEX: Solar System Settlers Every time I read the interview with the professor, his information does not help me solve the problem. In this problem set, information from the professor will not help me.

Review and practice: 

Review and practice What type of reasoning is this: If the door is open, then John was the last to leave. The door is closed. John was not the last to leave.

Review and practice: 

Review and practice What type of reasoning is this: All I have ever seen are Dell Computers, so all computers are made by Dell.
