Module 7 Activity 3 a, b, c. Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is the ultimate tool that our students should use to execute tasks in the classroom and without. Critical thinking will help our students to think for themselves; think outside the box to reason out arguments and come to logical, rational conclusions about issues. I particularly like the critical thinking checklist that may be used to determine if a person is a good critical thinker or if there is more to be desired. If arguments or statements can pass the checklist, then it is probably good thinking. I also admire the intellectual standards for thinking that individuals can use to determine if their thinking is considered good since it is said that better thinking gives better solutions. I can see myself using critical thinking as the main tool for learning in any class that I teach since it means that the students will interact more deeply with the learning and will most likely have greater understanding and retention of the material.
