Critical Thinking for Children - 4. Parts of Thinking
Parts of Thinking: The transcript discusses the different parts of thinking that are essential for critical thinking. These parts include purpose, questions, information, inferences, assumptions, concepts, point of view, and implications. [1]
Purpose: Purpose refers to the goal or objective of one's thinking. It is important to identify and understand the purpose behind our actions and thoughts. Questions like "What is my purpose in doing what I am doing?" help target purpose. [1]
Questions: Questions play a crucial role in critical thinking as they guide our thinking process. By clearly stating the question, we can identify and address the problem at hand. It is essential to ensure the clarity of the question and consider alternative questions if necessary. [1]
Information: Information consists of facts, evidence, or experiences that we gather to understand and figure things out. It is important to determine the relevance and accuracy of the information in relation to our purpose. [1]
Inferences, Assumptions, Concepts, Point of View, and Implications: These elements are integral to critical thinking. Inferences are the conclusions we draw, assumptions are the beliefs we take for granted, concepts are the ideas we use to understand, point of view is how we perceive a situation, and implications are the possible consequences of our actions. Reflecting on these aspects helps us develop logical and well-rounded thinking. [1]
