Module 7: Lecture Content- Characteristics and Techniques to Develop Critical Thinking
Definition reached by a panel of leading critical thinking scholars and researchers and reported in the Delphi Report (Evans, 2020):
"Purposeful, self-regulatory judgment which results in interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, and an explanation of the evidential, conceptual, methodological, criteriological, or contextual considerations upon which that judgment is based."
Reading - Tips to develop critical thinking:
· Establish the purpose of the reading.
· Examine and inspect the content of the entire book.
· Ask and formulate questions.
· Look for the meaning of what you are reading.
· Express what you are reading.
· Review what you have studied.
Reading Comprehension:
Reading is a process that involves the following steps:
|
Perception |
Our eyes must be able to perceive a word or a set of words in a fraction of seconds while our mind captures the meaning. In other words, three or four words are embraced at a glance. A focused and alert mental activity is necessary. |
|
Comprehension |
Ability to understand the message by creating the image in mind according to what the word conveys. |
|
Interpretation |
The reader attributes meaning to something. |
|
Reaction |
The reader has an attitude of acceptance or rejection of the ideas expressed by the author. |
|
Integration |
The reader establishes relationships of the ideas expressed, that is, accepts them or integrates them into their personal experiences if they consider them to be of value. |
Written Communication:
A good writer should consider the following processes:
· Plan, generate ideas and elaborate a writing plan. What you want to say, how to say it, what people know about the subject.
· Write, and convert ideas into words, for which it is necessary: a graphic representation of letters, structuring of ideas, words, sentences, and paragraphs, apply grammar and spelling rules.
· Proofreading, improving the text until it is in its final form.
Oral Communication:
To establish effective oral communication, consider the following:
· Use the appropriate technological tools to transmit the message.
· Pay attention to nonverbal communication and body language.
· Encourage interaction and feedback among participants.
· Use appropriate language.
· Watch your posture.
· Search for a focal point in front of a large audience, and the key will be to look around the room to determine control in communication.
