Why is critical thinking important for our students?

I am now of a better understanding as to why critical thinking is important for our students. Critical thinking is important for our students, as it enables them to exceed the restrictions of having to utilize automatic responses to answering questions. Critical thinking gives students the opportunity to analyze a situation, by implementing creative and independent thinking, as well as careful reasoning in order to provide a solution or response to a suggested problem or questions.

I think many teachers who are knowledgeable of Bloom's Taxonomy and use the higher levels in their lesson planning have been using critical thinking in the classroom without being aware of it.

The thing that stood out the most in my mind is:

Blooms Taxonomy.

• Remembering This refers to concrete information straight from the story.
• Understanding: Students ability to grasp understanding from concept and can explain it in their own words.
• Applying: Students will  use what they have learnt and applying it in a concrete way through dramatizing, sequencing and problem solving.
• Analyzing: This will allow students to make comparison between two things.
• Evaluating :This will allow students to judge activities or lessons openly.
• Creating: This idea is for student to make something.

I endorse the term" Knowledge is power"  yes it is power when you can use it. Critical thinking had been around for decades, but embarking on this course has causes me to think, assess and reflect on my presentation in the classroom.

A course like this is so important. I'm excited to help my students become critical thinkers who can make good decisions in class and in their lives in general.

This course has help me to reflect and reorganized my thought process on who I need to more aware of  collaborative teaching in my class. I have a group of vibrant, enthusiastic  and happy set of children who are excited about learning. Academic Conversation Skills and Socratic Seminar I used a lot in my class. Now I can be more precise when planning and implementing my activities.

Through the course I realized I  have been having Socratic Seminars daily with my 4 year olds... and never taught of it in  this  format... now I can build on and extent it in other learning areas.

What a journey it was.  Yes Ms Samms I was looking for more questions I could not believe that was the end, just as you said.

I received my certificate and am happy that I continued.
