EXP105_G30 Assignments Week 4 – Journal- Critical Thinking

1. Critically read the article, “Learning the Art of Critical Thinking.” Based on the reading, describe what it means to be a “critic of your thinking.”

Like Article Learning the Art of Critical Thinking By Dr. Linda Elder and Dr. Richard Paul says Critical thinking is the disciplined art of ensuring that you use the best thinking you are capable of in any set of circumstances. The general goal of thinking is to “figure out the lay of the land” in any situation we are in. We all have multiple choices to make. We need the best information to make the best choices. Which is true every single sentence we need to land the foundation to understand the concept of what, who, when and where. This is basically a question that we all go through to find the best possible answer

2. Review the list toward the bottom of the article, “Thinking gets us into trouble because we often.” Reflect on this list and identify one that resonates most with you. Describe a situation or conflict where you demonstrated this troublesome mode of thinking. What happened as a result?

If I had to choose it will be jump to conclusions or think hypocritically its hard to choose of them. I always have a situation that I always think ahead of the possibilities which sometimes it can be good or bad. Then when I’m critical of those by jumping into conclusions I sometimes feel really bad if I was wrong for being critical and jumping to conclusions rather than waiting to see what happens

3. Next, carefully review the four key ideas described in the article (as a refresher, the key ideas are: Clarify your thinking, Stick to the point, Question questions, and Be reasonable). In considering the situation you just described, explain how you could have applied one of these key ideas to practice more skilled thinking.

By clarifying my think is think before I speak know the question be ready when it needs to be asked

Stick to the point is know the facts and rest the case by knowing of what is your implaying

Question ask as many to understand the situation

Be reasonable by be open and minded based on the situation

4. Review The Stages of Development in Critical Thinking. Where do you most often fall in the process? How could further developing your thinking enrich one of your many roles (i.e., parent, employee, friend, spouse, etc.)?

I’m a practice first and then challenge thinker. Reason being I open duel before I talk in interview have an argument I practice to know what is about to say. But sometimes I challenge into my inner thought. As a parent, father and husband I often use these because I like to think of any possible outcome. Sometimes I say my special power is to think, react the attack so I won’t be surprised.
