Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Pedagogy - Pedagogic Psychology, grade: 1.0, Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation (Education), course: Bachelor of Secondary Education, language: English, abstract: This descriptive type of research renders to assess and identify the factors that intervene with the level of critical thinking skills of Grade 10 students of Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation-Candelaria, Inc. The researchers identified two general factors namely the student-factor and teacher-factor. Student-factors include two sub-factors such as their attitude towards the subject and their learning strategies and styles. Meanwhile, teaching strategies and styles, art of questioning, and instructional materials are included in the teacher-factors. There are one hundred eighty seven (187) respondents statistically drawn via systematic stratified random sampling. To answer the following problems, the researchers used an adapted test questionnaire known as THE CEU-LOPEZ CRITICAL THINKING TEST by Dr. Marcos Y. Lopez and the researcher-made four-point Likert scale questionnaire. The results revealed that the students are at the Beginning Thinker Level. It also showed that the five factors positively intervene with the level of critical thinking of students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the impact of discerning information accessed on the Internet that is authentic, reliable, and valid as facilitated by a 1:1 iPad program on students’ critical thinking skills and information literacy skills. Students enrolled in a Career Magnet School where each student has an iPad to receive and deliver assignments were measured on their critical thinking skills in solving real-world problems using the Test of Everyday Reasoning (TER). Their information literacy skills were measured using iSkills which is based on real-world problem solving through digital means. Students enrolled in a traditional high school with limited exposure to the Internet were tested with the same instruments. The review of literature stated that students show a gap in discerning useful information on the Internet in comparison to valid information. This study explored students’ critical thinking and information literacy skills and their ability to discern the information as valid, reliable, and authentic as accessed from the Internet. Failure to reject the null hypothesis was applied to each null hypothesis. One of the factors may have been due to the small sample size. Keywords: critical thinking skills, information literacy skills, 1:1 iPad program, Internet, Test of Everyday Reasoning, iSkills

Download or read book The Effect of Higher order Questions on Critical Thinking Skills microform written by Robert Donald Renaud and published by National Library of Canada = Bibliothèque nationale du Canada. This book was released on 2002 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One way to assess the quality of education in post-secondary institutions is through the use of performance indicators. One category of performance indicators, known as process indicators, focus on the processes of an institution, or in other words, what the institution itself does to promote the learning and development of its students. Another category of performance indicators is outcome indicators or student outcomes, which represent the ways in which students learn and develop as a result of attending college or university. Studies that have compared currently popular process indicators (e.g., library size, percentage of faculty with PhD) found that after controlling for incoming student ability, these process indicators tend to be weakly associated with student outcomes (Renaud, 1997). One important student outcome is the development of critical thinking. While much research has found that students increase their critical thinking skills as a result of attending college (see reviews by McMillan, 1987 and Pascarella & Terenzini, 1991), little is known about what goes on during the college experience that contributes to this. The main purpose of this research was to examine the degree to which asking higher-order questions on tests and assignments as a process variable is related to gains in critical thinking skills among college students as an outcome variable. A secondary purpose was whether gains in student critical thinking skills would be more clearly detected using either a subject-specific or a general measure of critical thinking. The present research consisted of four studies that used different designs, samples, and instruments. One study compared amount of higher-order questions on tests and assignments in actual classes to pretest-posttest gains in critical thinking, while two studies used experimental or quasi-experimental designs to compare groups of students given lower- and higher-order questions in actual classes, and one study was a true experiment done in a laboratory that compared lower- and higher-order review questions in terms of pretest-posttest gains while controlling for possible confounding variables. Overall, the findings of this research indicate that (1) students are more likely to improve their critical thinking skills when they have answered higher-order questions in their coursework; and (2) larger pretest-posttest gains were found when the tests of critical thinking contained questions that were subject-specific (e.g., introductory psychology) rather than questions that focused on general topics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have long recognized that investments in public education contribute to the common good, enhancing national prosperity and supporting stable families, neighborhoods, and communities. Education is even more critical today, in the face of economic, environmental, and social challenges. Today's children can meet future challenges if their schooling and informal learning activities prepare them for adult roles as citizens, employees, managers, parents, volunteers, and entrepreneurs. To achieve their full potential as adults, young people need to develop a range of skills and knowledge that facilitate mastery and application of English, mathematics, and other school subjects. At the same time, business and political leaders are increasingly asking schools to develop skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and self-management - often referred to as "21st century skills." Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century describes this important set of key skills that increase deeper learning, college and career readiness, student-centered learning, and higher order thinking. These labels include both cognitive and non-cognitive skills- such as critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, effective communication, motivation, persistence, and learning to learn. 21st century skills also include creativity, innovation, and ethics that are important to later success and may be developed in formal or informal learning environments. This report also describes how these skills relate to each other and to more traditional academic skills and content in the key disciplines of reading, mathematics, and science. Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century summarizes the findings of the research that investigates the importance of such skills to success in education, work, and other areas of adult responsibility and that demonstrates the importance of developing these skills in K-16 education. In this report, features related to learning these skills are identified, which include teacher professional development, curriculum, assessment, after-school and out-of-school programs, and informal learning centers such as exhibits and museums.
