...Critical Thinkers and Education A Teachers Goal Bia Mcgrue Scypion EDU372: Educational Psychology Prof. Jimletta Vareene-Thomas 2/20/2016 Critical Thinkers and Education A Teachers Goal Throughout life we are challenged and we encounter an abundance of issues or problems that we need to solve. Some problems that can be resolved effortlessly and efficiently but other obstacles may require a more critical and creative thinking to overcome. When it comes down to thinking to solve problems we depend on our thinking or give some regurgitated answer that we just read. But “much of our thinking, left to itself, is biased, distorted, partial, uninformed, or downright prejudiced” (TCTC, 2016). The purpose of critical thinking is so that we are able to not only accomplish or attain understanding but also so we can assess or check each other’s frame of reference and eventually clarify the question or dilemma at hand. Some would argue whose challenge is it to get students to move pass their beliefs and assumption. Is it on students to dig deeper to gain or find additional tools and information that leads to developing a more in depth thought process. Richard Dawkins expressed that we should “not indoctrinate your children. Teach them how to think for themselves, how to evaluate evidence, and how to disagree with you” (Dawkins, 2015). Picture a student who completes every assignment follows along attentively writes down the notes and answers the questions with the information found...

...Cognitive Thinking Case Study To remain competitive and as successful as possible, I would combined all four literal, experimental, intuitive and theoretical thinking styles to produce a successful development team. As you know it is always beneficial to combine different thinking styles because they strengthen the others weaknesses. For instance, if one lacks the ability to take risk and the other lacks the ability to think logically, they can balance each other out. So, a development team would benefit from both personalities working together. Literal thinkers are practical and think about what can be done with what they have at the moment. They are also very direct and to-the-point, they say what needs to be said without beating around the bush. I myself am a literal thinker and I know I cannot function in a disorganized space, I get frustrated and cannot focus. Sometimes I have to leave the area or stop what I’m doing to clean. Although, we are well organized and are logical thinkers, we do not work well with too much change. This is where the experimental thinking style comes in handy because they fill in that gap. Experimental thinkers are risk takers so, change doesn’t affect them the way it would a literal thinker. If they get too comfortable in their daily routine, they will switch it up because they do not like to feel constricted. These thinkers are also very original in their thoughts. They are visionary, clever and challenging but, also realistic. Even though...

...Paper In everyday life, all individuals are thinking. To be a critical thinker, an individual must be in control of their thinking. Critical thinking is when an individual improves their mode of thinking by analyzing, assessing and reconstruction of their thoughts. It gives individuals the ability to build upon their knowledge, opinions, and ideas. Critical thinking lets individuals take information and make informed decisions without being influenced by their own opinions. It causes you to raise questions and problems, and then, solve them clearly and precisely. Critical thinkers research and re-evaluate their solutions to find the one that will be the best fit. There are many different types of thinking. Each type affects the process of critical thinking differently. This paper will discuss the thinking types of creative, inductive and emotional. It will also explore in depth the similarities and differences of these types of thinking and how each type affects the critical thinking process. Creative thinking is defined as taking the elements presented during a problem while planning, and utilizing them to the best of your ability. Creativity is bringing in something which did not exist before. Creative thinking is using your thoughts to change the way that someone else looks at something. It involves a new way of looking at something. Creative thinking can be accidental or deliberate. Creative thinking affects the critical thinking process by allowing individuals...

I can certainly relate to this being a father of two girls and stepson. They all have their unique gifts and talents. My stepson is whiz when it comes to math he is only nine years old, my twelve year old daughter love to play cello, and my five year old daughter loves to sing and dance. I once was waiting in a very long line and she started to sing a song I had never heard before. It appeared that she just made it up. Everyone in the line seemed to enjoy the shoe she was putting on. He also goes on to say that creativity be treated with the same importance as literacy.
