Beth Dichter's insight:
How do we teach students to become critical thinkers? This post provides a visual as well as a more detailed list of the seven components that students need to learn:
* Reflection
* Analysis
* Acquisition of information
* Creativity
* Commitment
* Debate
* Structuring arguments
In addition five values that critical thinking promotes:
* Humility
* Courage
* Responsibility
* Commitment
* Respect
What do you think? Do you agree that these are key aspects to teach our students to be critical thinkers or is there a component missing? Do you believe that the values are an integral component? How do you teach critical thinking in your classroom?
