Anthony By Anthony - Last updated: Monday, February 13, 2012 This blog is now 9 years old. Some of the things I am interested in are now covered far better (and certainly more quickly) by others. In any case, in the past year or two this blog had become moribund, despite a recent spurt of activity. Thanks to all those who have linked to, written comments on, and read the blog. Farewell.

CREATIVITY, CRITICAL THINKING and CONTENT « LJHS Social Studies Blog I divide each Social Studies unit into content and conceptual mastery, analysis and creative interpretation because public education, has three core objectives: 1. To impart a body of knowledge and academic skills deemed valuable by society. 2. 3. The first goal has been delved into depth by educational researchers and gurus like E.D. The second goal is reflected in what used to be termed ” liberal education” or “Great Books” programs or the upper tiers of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Schools do this less effectively across the nation but there is still a fair emphasis on eliciting critical thinking in public education, most of all in Honors and AP classes, gifted and talented classes and special programs like and Paideia and International Baccalaureate. Ken Robinson, noted educational expert, giving a lively talk on creativity and public education ( 20 minute video clip): Like this: Like Loading...
The Quackometer - haricot | Accueil Esprit critique Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Pour les articles homonymes, voir Critique. L'esprit critique (du grec κριτικός : qui discerne) est la disposition d'une personne à examiner attentivement une donnée avant d'établir la validité de celle-ci. Définition et origines[modifier | modifier le code] Développement[modifier | modifier le code] Avoir l’esprit critique, c'est être capable de s'interroger avec exigence et rationalité sur la réalité ou la probabilité de faits et de relations prétendus, puis sur leurs interprétations. — Pierre Bayle, Pensées diverses écrites à un docteur de Sorbonne à l'occasion de la Comète qui parut au mois de décembre 1680 Cependant, l'esprit critique ne cherche pas seulement à mettre en lumière des erreurs de raisonnement. De manière plus générale, l'esprit critique peut être considéré comme l'antidote de la rhétorique. On a pu voir dans l'auteur de l'Antiquité, Lucien, une sorte de préfiguration de Voltaire. Et voici l'apologue :
What's wrong with Gillian McKeith by Ben Goldacre | Media Call her the Awful Poo Lady, call her Dr Gillian McKeith PhD: she is an empire, a multi-millionaire, a phenomenon, a prime-time TV celebrity, a bestselling author. She has her own range of foods and mysterious powders, she has pills to give you an erection, and her face is in every health food store in the country. Scottish Conservative politicians want her to advise the government. One of those angry nerds took her down this week. Is it petty to take pleasure in this? She talks endlessly about chlorophyll, for example: how it's "high in oxygen" and will "oxygenate your blood" - but chlorophyll will only make oxygen in the presence of light. Future generations will look back on this phenomenon with astonishment. So back to the science. She even does this in the book Miracle Superfood, which, we are told, is the published form of her PhD. Rubbish. Now, once would be unfortunate, but this is an enduring pattern. Well. But those who criticise McKeith have reason to worry. Charming.

Critical thinking Critical thinking is a type of clear, reasoned thinking. According to Beyer (1995) Critical thinking means making clear, reasoned judgements. While in the process of critical thinking, ideas should be reasoned and well thought out/judged.[1] The National Council for Excellence in Critical Thinking defines critical thinking as 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 Etymology[edit] In the term critical thinking, the word critical, (Grk. κριτικός = kritikos = "critic") derives from the word critic, and identifies the intellectual capacity and the means "of judging", "of judgement", "for judging", and of being "able to discern".[3] Definitions[edit] According to the field of inquiry [weasel words], critical thinking is defined as: Skills[edit] Procedure[edit]
Science-Based Medicine ODLIS — Online Dictionary for Library and Information Science In classification, one of the distinguishing characteristics of a class, identified as a means of differentiating it from other classes. As defined in FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), one of a set of characteristics enabling users of information to formulate queries and evaluate responses when searching for information about a specific entity. Attributes can be inherent in the entity (physical characteristics, labeling information, etc.) or supplied by an external agent (assigned identifiers, contextual information, etc.). For example, the logical attributes of a creative work include its title, form, date of creation, intended audience, etc. As a general rule, a given instance of an entity exhibits a single value for each attribute, but multiple values are possible (a work may be published under more than one title or in more than one form), or a value may change over time (date of publication for serials).
A Field Guide to Critical Thinking Feature James Lett Skeptical Inquirer Volume 14.2, Winter 1990 There are many reasons for the popularity of paranormal beliefs in the United States today, including: the irresponsibility of the mass media, who exploit the public taste for nonsense,the irrationality of the American world-view, which supports such unsupportable claims as life after death and the efficacy of the polygraph, andthe ineffectiveness of public education, which generally fails to teach students the essential skills of critical thinking. As a college professor, I am especially concerned with this third problem. In an attempt to remedy this problem at my college, I've developed an elective course called “Anthropology and the Paranormal.” The six rules of evidential reasoning are my own distillation and simplification of the scientific method. Falsifiability It must be possible to conceive of evidence that would prove the claim false. Additional examples of multiple outs abound in the realm of the paranormal. Logic
