...Halpern's framework for critical thinking. Reviewed below. B. Know the names of the eight activities (each has an alternate term, but just need to know the main ones on the picture), and be able to match up descriptions of these activities with the correct name. SEE YOUR HANDOUT. C. Know the steps in the paramedic method, and be prepared to apply them to a problem sentence. Steps given below. Diana Halpern's (1996) Framework for Critical Thinking Definition: Critical thinking is the use of cognitive skills or strategies that increase the probability of a good outcome. CT is purposeful, reasoned, and goal-directed. Answer the following questions: 1. What is the goal? First step in improving thinking is to be clear about the goal or goals. Sometimes there are multiple goals; sometimes the goal changes as we work on a problem. If the overall goal is not OPERATIONAL (i.e., "get a good grade" or "reach a good decision"), then identify operational goals (write clearly, address all elements of the assignment, evaluate the consequences of alternative decisions). 2. What is known? Review what is known. You may know more than you realize, once you start taking a census. You may also realize that some of the apparently information is not certain at all. If you are completing an assignment or solving a problem for someone else, review guidelines for the assignment and ask yourself what the person cares about and values in a solution. 3. Which thinking skills will get...

...CRITICAL QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION Note: Questions from the end of the chapters can also be used for discussion questions Chapter 2: Foundations of Modern Trade Theory: Comparative Advantage Critical Thinking and Discussion Questions: QUESTION 1: Mercantilism is a bankrupt theory that has no place in the modern world. Discuss. QUESTION 2: Is free trade fair? Discuss. QUESTION 3: Unions in developed nations often oppose imports from low-wage countries and advocate trade barriers to protect jobs from what they often characterize as “unfair” import competition. Is such competition “unfair”? Do you think that this argument is in the best interests of (a) the unions, (b) the people they represent, and/or (c) the country as a whole? QUESTION 4: What are the potential costs of adopting a free trade regime? Do you think governments should do anything to reduce these costs? What? QUESTION 5: The world’s poorest countries are at a competitive disadvantage in every sector of their economies. They have little to export. They have no capital; their land is of poor quality; they often have too many people given available work opportunities; and they are poorly educated. Free trade cannot possibly be in the interests of such nations! Discuss.

...What Is Critical Thinking CRT/205 Kayla Wallace UOP/Axia What is critical thinking? Critical thinking is when you’re basically thinking about thinking. For instance we think all the time, from what we will wear for the day or what we are going to eat. Maybe it’s sometimes to make a judgment, or whether or not we like something. When you think critically; you are thinking about whether or not the criteria is of good sense and logical. For example; you’re asked to maybe design or evaluate something, to make a proposal or diagnose a situation, to explain or comment on something, or to do any number of things that involve coming to conclusions. (In text quote: Retrieved from Text Book, Chapter One: What is Critical Thinking? (Page 2)) This would be an instance where you would stop and think more critically rather than just making quick decisions and not giving it your best. When working on something along the lines of this example you want to be able to give explanations, so you would want to take notes and think about all the options you could use to help get to a conclusion when trying to solve a situation, as well as when making a proposal. “The ultimate objective in thinking critically is to come to conclusions that are correct and to make decisions that are wise. Because our decisions reflect our conclusions, we can simplify things by saying that the purpose of thinking critically is to come to correct conclusions; the...
