Module 7 Activity 3 - Critical Thinking

 

Do we really need critical thinking skills? After completing this activity it is quiet apparent that critical skills are needed if we are to function properly in society.  The things about critical thinking that have caught your attention are the use of Socratic questioning, which if used correctly will empower students to think “outside of the box”.  Employing this method is top on my “to do” list.  To develop as thinkers, students must pass through stages of development in critical thinking as such a teacher I need to be aware of these levels as I aspire to make critical thinking a primary objective of my instruction.
