Critical Thinking in the 21st Century

by
Eric Starr, Hollie Keesee, and Kelli Hudnall
What is Critical Thinking?
Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and

skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or
evaluating information gathered from, or generated
by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or

communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary
form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject
matter divisions:
clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound
evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth, and fairness.
Critical Thinking Pillar Project
Importance in Education
•

Do Away With Memorization

•

Asking Why?

•

Collaborating Ideas

•

Wanting to Learn the Material
Application
Engage students in assignments that stray away from activities such as
testing and worksheets to promote thinking and problem solving skills
that allows students to think outside the box and explore a topic

together.
Example of Application
•
•
•

Classroom blogs
Discussion boards
Group projects

Rather than:
Tests
Papers

•
•
Detailed Example of Application
- Students create a group blog of the most important things
Ben Franklin accomplished.
- Ex. One group would mention his role in the American
Revolution rather than him creating the U.S. Postal Service.
- Other students will be asked to comment on these posts
and explain if they agree or disagree with their statements.
- This is a way for students to think critically while learning
new materials. This is overall a better option than giving
the students a test and asking them to list
dates, inventions, etc.
