The texts I selected were two web pages on The Foundation for Critical Thinking\u2019s website: the pages entitled College and University students<\/em> and Being a Critic of Your Own Thinking.\u00a0<\/em>I was really proud of myself for being able to summarize my notes into the following summary of key ideas in both articles.\u00a0I found this to be a VERY useful exercise and I will use it in future!<\/p>\n

1) Your thinking plays a powerful role in your life; thinking \u2018well\u2019 brings positive rewards while thinking \u2018poorly\u2019 brings negative consequences<\/p>\n

2) The extent to which we become better quality thinkers is determined by the amount of time we dedicate towards this development, the quality of intellectual thought processes we engage in, and the depth of our commitment to becoming better quality thinkers<\/p>\n

3) Four examples of ways to improve the quality of your thinking are: clarifying your thinking, maintaining relevance in thinking, questioning deeply and striving to be more reasonable in thinking<\/p>\n

3a) -clarifying one\u2019s thinking involves 2 things: clarifying your understanding of what others are saying and being aware of how clearly you are communicating to others<\/p>\n

3c) -deep questioning involves asking questions skillfully to be able to get at the root of the problem or to fully understand a problem<\/p>\n

3d) -being reasonable involves paying attention to when you or others are being unreasonable in a particular situation and asking yourself what the reason is for the behaviour. e.g. is a viewpoint being overlooked? Are there inherent biases? Am I really taking the best course of action for all involved? Are there better ideas for handling this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
