Critical thinking in history
One of things that I agree with is that not only
does the school have a good method to
educate the future generation, it is very important that they have the tools,
developed ethic materials, moral concepts creating more programs not only for
the student ( teacher too) that they can participate in the new concept of
critical thinking as an art.
Right now one of the most popular concept is to
memorize everything you can, remember facts or dates not only as an amount of information that happens in one moment in the
history but to recognize how similar events happen again and again throughout life,
learn that history is not only a piece of information that you have to put in
your test is more than that is the reflection to the present, the history is
the reflection of the present is our own
mirror, to learn that is one step to the knowledge and realize, that is
important to interpreter the information, analysis what you are reading take
the most important the main concept, create your own point of view, prepare
your discussion developed and final make a conclusion
The reflective mind improves its thinking by
reflectively thinking about it. Likewise, it improves its reading by
reflectively thinking about how it is reading. It improves its writing by analyzing
and assessing each draft it creates. It moves back and forth between thinking.
It moves forward a bit, and then loops back upon itself to check its own
operations. It checks its inferences. It makes good its ground. It rises above
itself and exercises oversight on itself.
One of the most important abilities that a thinker
can have is the ability of monitoring and assesses his or her own thinking
while processing the thinking of others. In reading, the reflective mind monitors
how it is reading while they are reading. The foundation for this ability is
knowledge of how the mind functions when reading well. For example, if I know
that what I am reading is difficult for me to understand, I intentionally slow
down. I put the meaning of each passage that I read into my own words. Knowing
that one can understand ideas best when they are exemplified, then, when
writing, I give my readers examples of what I am saying. As a reader, I look
for examples to better understand what a text is saying. Learning how to read
closely and write substantively are complex critical thinking abilities. When I
can read closely, I can take ownership of important ideas in a text. When I can
write substantively, I am able to say something worth saying about. Many
students today cannot.
