Main Frame for Teaching Critical Thinking at School
from Terrell Heick
In What does critical thinking mean?We have suggested that “(in) rhythical thinking is the suspension of judgment, while identifying biases and basic assumptions for the preparation of accurate conclusions.”
Of course, there are different definitions of critical thinking. The American Philosophical Association It determines it As “critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rational, understanding the logical connection between ideas. It includes active (not reactive) in the learning process and includes openness, curiosity and ability to research and evaluate ideas, arguments and perspectives. “
But understanding exactly what it is and means that it is different from teaching critical thinking – it is consistently integrating it into your units, lessons and activities. Patterns and frames have always been useful for the feeling of complex (or confusingly– which is usually different from complex) Ideas. I also find them a great way to communicate any of these feelings.
In other words, models and frames can help think and communicate concepts.

Frame integrating critical thinking in your classroom
It is obvious that teaching critical thinking in the classroom is different from “teaching” beyond one, just as it is different from active practice and applying critical thinking skills in the “real world”. I have always taught students that critical thinking is something they do seamlessly in their lives.
They Analyze Plots and characters in movies.
They Creation Preparation of short videos.
They criticism Links and penalties and ratings and video games.
They evaluation The performance of their favorite athletes and Make judgments About music.
And so on. With this context off -road, let’s look at the frame, right?
Levels of integration of critical thinking
Foreword: This post is necessarily incomplete. A complete guide to teaching critical thinking will be best done as a book or course rather than blog post. The idea is to offer a way to think about teaching critical thinking.
Critical thinking can be done in …
Assignment level Integration strategies
-Analogies (see also Analogies))
-What boards
-Dabat
-The A technique to formulate questions
-Thete
Unit -level integration strategies
-They questions (see How to use basic questions))
-SFERER (see also Ways to distinguish the instructions))
-Dection by design (each of the UBD Framework -Backward Design elements, for example)
-Topics (ie learning topics that naturally encourage or even require critical thinking)

Instructive level of design Integration strategies
-Spilation (in this case, at the level of mapping of the curriculum)
At a model level Integration strategies
-Project based on the project (see 25 questions about teaching a project -based training))
-Aniti training (See 14 learning strategies based on studies))
-Sinenchronous self -tuition training (see our Self -tune))
