from evaluation (judging the outcome) to synthesis (putting information together) and creative generation.from application (making use of knowledge) to analysis (taking information apart).from knowledge (information gathering) to comprehension (confirming).Using Bloom’s Taxonomy of thinking skills, the goal is to move students from lower- to higher-order thinking: Yet the quality of our life and that of which we produce, make, or build depends precisely on the quality of our thought.” Critical thinking is therefore the foundation of a strong education. Why is Critical Thinking important in teaching?Īccording to Paul and Elder (2007), “Much of our thinking, left to itself, is biased, distorted, partial, uninformed or down-right prejudiced. These criteria require that we distinguish fact from fiction synthesize and evaluate information and clearly communicate, solve problems and discover truths. When most people think of critical thinking, they think that their words (or the words of others) are supposed to get “criticized” and torn apart in argument, when in fact all it means is that they are criteria-based. They are what we are talking about when we want our students to be evaluative, creative and innovative. Higher-order thinking skills go beyond basic observation of facts and memorization.
