The Critical Mind: Instructional Strategies That Promote Higher Order Thinking Skills

2013-02-05T18:17:31.000Z

When: Thu Mar 14, 2013 12pm to 1:30pm CDT
Replaces event originally scheduled for: Thu Mar 14, 2013 12pm

Where: (239A, EP Campus) 1 College Drive, East Peoria, IL 61635
Event Status: confirmed
Event Description: Critical thinking is a concept that is widely used and has high visibility in the accreditation and mission statements of educational institutions across the world. However, many educators and institutions have difficulty clarifying the concept and infusing it within curriculum and instruction. This three-part workshop focuses on explicating those concepts and principles that inform a foundational, cross-disciplinary conception of critical thinking as well as how these fundamentals translate into concrete teaching and learning strategies that, when done well, help our students improve the quality of their thinking. Part 3 of a 3 Part Series: Focus On Instructional Strategies That Promote Critical Thought: This session will build on the foundational critical thinking concepts and principles addressed in the first session. In doing so, participants will explore the intimate relationship between what it means to think critically and how we can design instruction to promote critical thought. Based on best practices in teaching and learning, participants will engage and discuss specific instructional strategies designed to foster critical thought and the cultivation of higher order thinking skills. The instructional strategies act as examples of what instructors can do on a typical day of class. At the end of this session participants will have a short list of practical strategies they can immediately incorporate into their instruction. Part 2 will run Thursday, March 7 and Part 3 will run Thursday, March 28. RSVP to tlc@icc.edu or 694-8908.

Part 2 of a 3 Part Series: Question-Generating Concepts: The critical mind is the questioning mind. The extent to which students ask genuine questions and seek to answer them reflects the extent to which students take content seriously and think it through. The problem is that our students rarely know how to systematically ask questions that probe content by searching for assumptions, concepts, purposes, information, inferences and solutions, points of view, or implications. They rarely seek out intellectual standards to evaluate the quality of their thought and the thoughts of others: questions that target clarity, depth, relevance, validity, significance, and accuracy. We want to create a classroom culture where students actively, reflectively, and fair-mindedly question the content and each other. Such a culture cultivates important intellectual skills and abilities as well as virtuous dispositions like intellectual flexibility, empathy, humility, integrity, open-mindedness, and perseverance, to name a few. This session will focus on the relationship between our ability to question and our ability to think critically. Participants will explore various ways to help students develop questions that analyze and evaluate content and their thinking. Part 3 will run Thursday, March 28. RSVP to tlc@icc.edu or 694-8908.

Part 1 of a 3 Part Series: Introduction To Foundational Critical Thinking Concepts & Principles: In this first segment, participants will be introduced to a robust, cross-disciplinary conception of critical thinking. We will discuss what critical thinking is and explore how it can be substantively infused into our content areas and instructional contexts. It will be argued that critical thinking is not something that is merely added to our existing curriculum and workload, but should be the way we teach and learn. When critical thinking is treated as the organizing idea of teaching and learning, substantive understanding will naturally result. Part 2 will run Thursday, March 7 and Part 3 will run Thursday, March 28. RSVP to tlc@icc.edu or 694-8908.
