Example: Error: He is Jim he is 25 years old. In the answer column: He is Jim. He is 25 years old. 15. One barrier that has kept us from making more progress in critical-thinking education over the last several decades is the perception that we still do not understand the concept well enough to determine how teaching critical-thinking skills can be integrated into the curriculum that paralysis derives partly from debates within the critical-thinking community over how the term should be defined however such debates, while thoughtful and constructive, should not obscure the fact that there is widespread consensus regarding what skills constitute critical thinking, as well as substantial research on how those skills can be taught successfully. (2 Points) Enter your answer 16. For example, critical thinking involves thinking in a structured way. The term commonly used to describe this form of productive, structured thinking is "logic," but logic describes several systems for reasoning systematically formal logic reduces words and ideas to symbols that can be manipulated, for instance, much like numbers and symbols used in mathematics.

While formal logic is extraordinarily powerful, we can also systematise our reasoning using informal logic that allows us to consider the meaning of words rather than reducing them to symbols that fit into a structure. There are also several graphical systems for mapping out logical relationships some of them easy enough to be picked up by young learners, that can be applied to any content area.

Since most of the communication we need to think critically about involves everyday human language, rather than machine code, skilled critical thinkers must also be adept at interpreting spoken and written language as precise statements that can be built into a logical structure this process is as much an art as science, but with practice, students can perform this kind of interpretation on anything from historic or literary documents to scientific ideas and mathematical proofs.

When those precise statements are built into a logical structure you have an argument which is the basic unit of reasoning Arguments can be found in political speeches, editorials, and Enter your answer 19. When those precise statements are built into a logical structure you have an argument which is the basic unit of reasoning. Arguments can be found in political speeches, editorials, and advertisements, as well as in communication across STEM fields, and the rules for analysing the quality of arguments have been in place for more than 2,000 years.
