Develop Critical Thinking Questions
"We should be teaching students how to think. Instead, we are teaching them what to think." Clement and Lochhead, 1980, Cognitive Process Instruction. *Critical thinking questions
require answers that involve thinking, open-end questions with
more than one correct
answer, and not a yes or no answer.
Introduction
to Critical Thinking
by Steven Schafersman
"The purpose of critical thinking is, therefore, to achieve understanding, evaluate view points, and solve problems. Since all three areas involve the asking of questions, we can say that critical thinking is the questioning or inquiry we engage in when we seek to understand, evaluate, or resolve." Maiorana,
