Presentation Transcript

What is Critical Thinking? : 

What is Critical Thinking? Overview of S.A.S.E.

Critical Thinking Steps : 

Critical Thinking Steps Summarizing= S Analyzing= A Synthesizing = S Evaluating = E S.A.S.E.

Summary : 

Summary A good summary answers the question: “What was the reading/movie/lecture about?” A good summary simply describes what the reading presented. For example: The Wizard of Oz is about a farm girl named Dorothy who is attempting to return to her home in Kansas after being snatched up by a tornado and deposited in a fantasy land populated by witches, a talking scarecrow, a cowardly lion, a tin man, and other mysterious beings.

Analysis : 

Analysis Analysis breaks down the whole work into parts in order to examine the parts carefully. For example: we can analyze an engine by looking at its parts. Another example: we can analyze a movie by examining the characters, themes, setting, dialogue etc… Analysis can examine cause, process, categories, comparisons, opinions about etc…

Synthesis : 

Synthesis Synthesis looks outside of the subject itself and draws comparisons with other material. We analyze a type of food by examining its ingredients. We Synthesize by showing similarities & differences with other foods. For example: Chinese food vs. Thai food – how are they similar? Different?

Synthesis cont’d : 

Synthesis cont’d Another example: We synthesize when we compare Star Wars to Star Trek. And yet another example: We synthesize when we read a movie critic’s review of Star Wars and compare his/her review with our own opinion about the movie.

Evaluation : 

Evaluation Evaluation is more than “I liked it.” Critical Evaluation is based upon the previous steps – analysis and synthesis. Evaluation is informed and educated about the topic. Evaluation considers all sides before making a determination of value.
