ReplyDeleteThe cognitive roots of critical thinking established by Socrates. He established the importance of asking deep questions that makes people to think properly before accepting any ideas and thoughts. His method of questioning is known as ‘Socratic Questioning’ and it is best known as critical thinking teaching strategy. He also developed the method of critical thought based on principle of systematic doubt.
In the history of critical thinking increased by various thinker’s tools and resources. It includes the thinkers like: Thomas Moore, Francis Bacon, Colet, Erasmus, Hobbes and Locke, Robert Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton and others. All of them contribute a lot by their thought and theory.

Thinking is a stream of consciousness an uncontrolled coursing of ideas through our heads including dreaming and daydreams. In the field of education thinking is usually used to mean goal-directed process. The process where the end is satisfactory. Contemporary work in psychology of education has identified the role of Meta-cognition. It refers to one’s knowledge concerning one’s own cognitive processes and products and anything related to them.
Thinking is an internal, mental process that constructs and operates on mental representations of information. Thagard describes six approaches to modeling the mind. He also draws the analogy between the mind and computer.

ReplyDeleteHello everyone! I am Priya Dalwadi. I expect my critical thinking skills to be stirred and enhanced with this course so that I can use my ability to reason in a better manner,find logical connection between ideas and question concepts rather then merely accepting them.
ReplyDeleteArticle:1- The intellectual roots of critical thinking are as ancient as its etymology, because ultimately to the teaching practice and vision of Socrates 2500 years ago who discovered by a method of probing questioning that people could not rationally justify their confident claims to knowledge.
ReplyDeleteIn this article many critical thinkers like Thomas Aquinas who too ensures that his thinking met the test of critical thinking always systematically stated, considered and answered all criticism of his ideas as a necessary stage in developing them.Many Critical Thinkers like Francis Bacon, Descartes, Thomas Moore, Machiavelli, Hobes and Locke, Robert Boyle, Isaac Newton,all of them have given their viewpoints on critical thinking.Sumner has recognised that there is a deep need for critical thinking in life and in education.
To sum up we can say that many of the great thinkers have used their tools and resources in virtue of the history of critical thought.
Article-1
ReplyDeleteThe roots of critical thinking were established by Socrates. He established one important method, in which the importance of asking deep questions that makes people to think appropriately before accepting any idea or thoughts. His method of questioning is known as ‘Socratic Questioning’ and it is best known as critical thinking teaching strategy. Socrates sets the agenda for the tradition of critical thinking. Socrates practice was followed by the critical thinking of Plato, Aristotle and the other Greek sceptics who developed very different views from others that; things are often very different from what they appear and only trained mind can see the thing on the surface to the way and the deeper realities of life. As history says the actual critical thinking was started in the Renaissance 15th and 16th centuries when so many scholars in Europe started to think critically about religion, art, society, human nature, law and freedom. During same time period, Sir Thomas Moore developed a model of a new social order “Utopia”, in which he mentioned that every domain of the present world were subjects to critique. This type of Renaissance and post- Renaissance scholars critical thinking opened the way for the science, democracy, human rights and freedom for thoughts. It includes the thinkers like; Thomas moore, Francis Bancon, Colet, Erasmus, Hobbes, Robert boyle and Sir Isaac Newton and others. All of them provide their contribution in the field of critical thinking by their thought and theory.
At the end, we can say that criticism is the examination and test of prepositions which are offered for acceptance, in order to find out whether they related to reality or not. The tools and resources of the critical thinker have been vastly increased and hundreds of thinkers have contributed to its development. For the educational purposes critical thinking is most important.

ReplyDeleteTo understand how the people think and learn is very difficult thing or challenge as we are trying to understand certain things only by using the very processes from which we do not fully aware. For this thing two choices are given there. We have to focus on measureable aspects of human behaviour than the lived experience or we can pick up the way which scientists have pick as they entering in a new and complex field, looks for patterns and regularity between situations. Deweys’s classic introduction to “How we Think” offers an over view about some different senses of thinking. We can say that the word “Thinking” particularly in educational context is used for remembering, forming concept, planning, imagining, judgements, and gathering new perspectives.
In Devey’s view there are certain issues regarding control. According to Dewey the most important goal of education is to take control and responsibility in our thinking as effective member of democratic society. There are certain frameworks which have to followed by teachers and learners. There are tree perspective in thinking. As per the psychological view thinking is an internal mental process that constructs and operates on mental representation of information. According to Thagard there are certain approaches to modeling the mind. Thagard draws an analogy between the mind and computer programme, where the mental representation in the mind is like organization of stored data and this thing is run by software called thinking. The roots of critical thinking establish by Socrates. He is trying to prove that social environment has greater effect on children’s mind. Behaviour of children is depend on environment and culture from where he/she belongs. After passing some years of their life they started to think by their own. Philosophical thinking is divided into two aspects general thinking skills and specific thinking skills. In philosophical perspective we also come across a number of philosophical issues bearing upon thinking and learning. Educational philosophy has tend to view these issues in a genetic perceptive.

Article:2-Dewey's(1993) classic introduction to "How we Think" presents an overview of some of the different senses in which the term "thinking" is used : Thinking as a stream of consciousness and the every day uncontrolled coursing of ideas through our heads ", including dreaming and daydreams.
ReplyDeleteThere is considerable debate about the meaning of the term "metacognition" in the research literature.The term "metacognition" was coined by Flavell.This articles clearly talks about the Psychological, Sociological and Philosophical perspectives of Critical Thinking.
Thinking is an internal , mental process that constructs and operates on mental representations of information.Thagard describes six approaches that models the mind and thinking, it includes: logic , rules, concepts , analogies, images and neutral connections.Indeed a case can be made that while we are thinking we are not aware of the thinking process itself.It is only after the event that we can reflect on the products of our thinking and to a certain extent reconstruct and analyze the process.
According to Sociological Perspective, thinking always takes place in a context which has social influences and interacions whether direct or indirect, and the individuals thinking is affected by the various affordances and constraints of different contexts.For instance, when a child is born , they are born into a society whose culture have preceded them and will certainly continue after their lives.Learning is a matter of internalising and transforming something that is apparently objective to the individuals.
As per philosophical perspectives, there are many issues bearing upon the aspects of thinking and learning in philosophical aspects or perspectives.The philosophy of mind and language are all interrelated with each other.There are also many issues in regard to educational philosophy, in terms of developing knowledge as a genetic perspective.Thinking is or can be applied in all contexts according to Ennis.So we hould try to understand the basic meaning of thinking and with what does it deals with.

ReplyDeleteThe foundations of basic intuition set up by Socrates. The Socrates 2500 years prior who found by a system for examining scrutinizing that individuals couldn't judiciously legitimize their sure claims to information. He showed that persons might have force and high position but then be profoundly confounded and unreasonable. He likewise built up the technique for basic musings taking into account rule of orderly uncertainty. The shared factors of basic speculation are the most vital by results of the historical backdrop of basic considering. Numerous basic masterminds like Francis Bacon , Descartes , Thomas Moore , Hobes , Machiavelli , Locke , Isaac Newton , Robert Boyle every one of them have their perspectives on basic considering. Every one of them give their commitment in the field of basic considering. At the and of we can say that feedback is the examination and discover their identified with reality or not. By learning it the understudies can create aptitudes and capacities key to chronicled musings.

Thinking as a continuous flow and the ordinary uncontrolled coursing of thoughts through our heads. Two decisions are given there. The attention on quantifiable parts of human conduct than the lived experience. In Dewey's view, the improvement of intelligent believed is the most vital objective of training and obligation regarding their own particular deduction to take an interest viably as an individual from a vote based society. Thagard portrays six ways to deal with demonstrating the brain. He likewise draws the relationship between the psyche and PC. Blossom and his partners analysts and educationalists have wails to conceptualize a huge number of subjective procedures as a method for enhancing instructing. The subjective foundations of basic deduction built up by significance of social environment dependably influence the kid. Tempting however this similarity might be , it doesn't catch a portion of the multifaceted nature. Various philosophical issues have a direction upon the parts of speculation and learning. As far as figuring out how to know or the improvement of information and a hereditary point of view. Ennis contend that there are vital general intuition abilities and McPeak contend aptitudes deduction is dependably setting specific.

Seductive though this analogy may be, it does not capture some of the complexity. A number of philosophical issues have a bearing upon the aspects of thinking and learning. In terms of learning to know or the development of knowledge and a genetic perspective Ennis argue that there are important general thinking skills and McPeck argue that thinking is always context specific.

ReplyDeleteThe intellectual roots of critical thinking are established by Socrates. Teaching practice and vision of Socrates 2,500 years ago who discovered by a method of probing questioning that people could not rationally justify their confident claims to knowledge. Socrates sets the agenda for the tradition of critical thinking. Socrates practice was followed by the critical thinking of Plato, Aristotle and the other Greek sceptics who developed very different views from others that; things are often very different from what they appear and only trained mind can see the thing on the surface to the way and the deeper realities of life. He also developed the method of critical thought based on principle of systematic doubt.
In the Renaissance 15th and 16th centuries when so many scholers in Europe began to think critically about religion, art, society, human nature, law, and freedom. The another famous scholar Francis Bacon, in England was explicitly concerned with the way we misuse our minds in seeking knowledge. In his book The Advancement of learning, he argued for the importance of studying the world empirically. His book could be considered one of the earliest texts in critical thinking, for his agenda was very much the traditional agenda of critical thinking.
Some fifty years later in France, Descartes attempted to apply the rational deductive method of science, and particularly mathematics, to philosophy. He wrote what might be called the second text in critical thinking , Rules For the Direction of the Mind. In it, Descartes argued for the need for a special systematic disciplining of the mind to guide it in thinking. Every part of thinking, he argued, should be questioned, doubted, and tested.
During same time period, Sir Thomas Moore developed a model of a new social order “Utopia”, in which he mentioned that every domain of the present world were subjects to critique. This type of Renaissance and post- Renaissance scholars critical thinking opened the way for the science, democracy, human rights and freedom for thoughts. It includes the thinkers like; Thomas moore, Francis Bancon, Colet, Erasmus, Hobbes, Robert boyle and Sir Isaac Newton and others. All of them provide their contribution in the field of critical thinking by their thought and theory.
In conclusion , we can say that critical thinking is the way of learning. The tools and resources of the critical thinker have been vastly increased and hundreds of thinkers have contributed to its development. Critical thinking is very important for educational purpose.
Trying to understand how people think and learn is in some way an impossible challenge, since we can only try to understand these things by using the very processes they we do not fully understand. We have to focus on measurable aspects of human behavior rather than on lived experience, we can do what scientists have often done when entering a new and complex field look for patterns and regularities between situations.
ReplyDeleteDewey's(1993) classic introduction to "How we Think" presents an overview of some of the different senses in which the term "thinking" is used : Thinking as a stream of consciousness and the every day uncontrolled coursing of ideas through our heads ", including dreaming and daydreams. There is considerable debate about the meaning of the term "metacognition" in the research literature. The term "metacognition" was coined by Flavell.
This articles clearly talks about the Psychological, Sociological and Philosophical perspectives of Critical Thinking. As per the psychological view thinking is an internal mental process that constructs and operates on mental representation of information. Thagard describes six approaches that models the mind and thinking, it includes: logic , rules, concepts , analogies, images and neutral connections.Indeed a case can be made that while we are thinking we are not aware of the thinking process itself. As per sociological perspective thinking always taken place in a context which is directly or indirectly related to the society. For example... when a child takes place he brings up in a culture that helps him to internalise his behaviour. And last, as per philosophical perspectives a number of philosophical issues have a bearing upon the aspects of thinking and learning. Educational philosophy has tended to view these issues in terms of learning to know or the development of knowledge a genetic perspective.

ReplyDeleteAns 1:- Socrates established the fact that one cannot depend upon those in authority to have sound knowledge and insight. He established the importance of seeking evidence, closely examining reasoning and assumptions, analyzing basic concepts, and tracking out implications not only of what is said but of what is done well. His method of questioning is known as Socratic questioning. Socrates followed by Plato, Aristotle, and Greek sceptics emphasized that things are often very different from what they appear to be look to us on the surface to the way really are beneath the surface. In the middle age Aquinas heightened our awareness not only of the potential power of reasoning but also of the need for reasoning to be systematically cultivated and cross examined. In 15th and 16th scholars in Europe began to think critically about religion, art, society, Human nature, law, freedom. Francis Bacon in England wrote the book The Advancement of Learning. His book could be consider one of the earliest texts in critical thinking for his agenda was very much the traditional agenda of critical thinking. In France Descartes wrote about second text in critical thinking, Rules For the Direction of the Mind. He developed a method of critical thought based on the principle of systematic doubt. In Italian Renaissance, Machiavelli’s The Prince critically, Hobbes and Locke analyzed how it did function and laid the function for political thinking. Bayle, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Diderot They valued disciplined intellectual exchange in which all views had to be submitted to serious analysis and critique. In 1906 William Graham Sumner published a land braking study of the foundation of sociology and anthropology, Folkways. Sumner recognized the deep need for critical thinking in life and in education. The result of the collective contribution of the history of critical thought is that the basic questions of Socrates can now be much more powerfully and focally framed and used.
ReplyDeleteAns 2:-Dewey’s classic introduction to the term thinking is used as Thinking as a “ stream of consciousness:” and the everyday “uncontrolled coursing of ideas through our heads”, including dreaming and daydreams. In Dewey’s view the development of reflective thought is the important goal of education and enables the individual to take control of and responsibility for their own thinking in the sense of participate effectively as a member of a democratic society. According to Psychological perspective Bloom and his associates cognitive processes as a means of improving teaching, learning and assessment. Many initiatives originate from western psychology and education, particularly the US and the UK. Interest in cognitive enhancement has become a worldwide phenomenon. Cognitive psychologist typically study thinking in other people a third person perspective in which the metaphor of the brain as a computer has been dominant. Thinking is an internal, mental process that constructs and operates on mental representations of information. When we are thinking we are not aware of the thinking process going on in our mind. As per sociological perspectives thinking always takes place in a context which has influences and interactions whether direct or indirect. The individuals thinking is affected by various affordances and constraints of different contexts. Culture and society also affects one’s thinking objectively and externally. As per the sociological point of view the philosophy of mind, language and related theories of meaning are relevant to understanding of the way we think, know and learn. In contemporary education philosophy the most pertinent debate is how general aspect of thinking can be identified in different contexts.

ReplyDeleteCritical thinking is a rich concept that has been developing throughout the past 2500 years. The term critical thinking has its roots in the mid late20th century. It entails the examination of those structures or elements of thoughts implicit in all reasoning: purpose, problem, and question at issue; assumption; concepts; empirical grounding; reasoning leading to conclusions; implications and consequences; objections from viewpoints. Socrates established the fact that one cannot depend upon those in ‘’authority’’ to have sound knowledge and insight. He established the importance of asking deep questions that probe profoundly into thinking before we accept ideas as worthy of belief. And also he established importance of seeking evidence, closely examining reasoning and assumptions. His method of questioning is now known as ‘’Socratic questioning’’. Aristotle and the Greek sceptics, all of whom emphasized those things are often very different from what they appear to be and that only the delusive appearance to the way they really are beneath the deeper realities of life. In the middle ages, the tradition of systematic critical thinking was embodied in the writing and teaching. Such thinkers Thomas Aquinas, Francis Bacon, Descartes, Thomas Moore, Machiavelli, Hobbes and Locke, Robert Boyle and sir Isaac Newton etc gave their views on critical thinking. They wrote different books on the basis of their views of thinking and how it is important in life by using different tools and sources.

1. What is thinking?
ReplyDeleteDefining thinking is a difficult task for everyone. Different scholar gives different definition about thinking. Somebody says that thinking is a conscious process. Dewey (1993) gives the different uses of the term thinking. It is a process happening in brain which initially we are aware about. According to Dewey’s development of reflective thinking is important goal of education. One should have control on their thinking in order to participating in democratic society. Teacher plays important role to develop reflective thinking of students in education system. Psychology of education indentified crucial role of metacognition education. Many classrooms are based on theory of self- regulation or metacongnition because it gives positive effect on learners mind.
There are three major perspective which gives value to educators and learner related to thinking.
1. Psychological perspective
2. Sociological perspective
3. Philosophical perspective
Pioneer of psychologist perspective Bloom and associate psychologist conceptualize multiple of cognitive process as a means of improving teaching, learning and assessment. Thinking is become most important part of education. They are draw away analogy between mind and computer because mind can store data as computer. Thagard describes six approaches to modeling the mind, involving: logic, rules, concepts, analogies, images, and neural connections (Thagard, 1996, p. 9).
In sociological perspective thinking always take place in context. Learners always come across many contexts in which they engage and think according to their experience of society and culture in which they live.
In philosophical perspective has something different to project. The major proponents have two opposing views. While one says that there are some general thinking skills that can be applied across different contexts, the other says that thinking is always context specific.
2. Foundation for critical thinking
The roots of critical thinking are established by Socrates. Socrates 2,500 years ago who discovered by a method of probing questioning that people could not rationally justify their confident claims to knowledge. He demonstrated that persons may have power and high position and yet be deeply confused and irrational. He also developed the method of critical thought based on principle of systematic doubt. The common denominators of critical thinking are the most important by products of the history of critical thinking.
Many critical thinkers like Francis Bacon, Descartes, Thomas Moore, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Isaac Newton, and Robert Boyle, all of them have their views on critical thinking. And all of them provide their contribution in the field of critical thinking.
At the end that can we say criticism is the examination and find out their related to reality or not. By learning it the learners can be taught so that they learn how to bring the basic tools of disciplined reasoning into every subject they study.

ReplyDeleteWhat is thinking?
The basic meaning of thinking is the process of mind. Trying to understand how people think and think and learn is in some ways an impossible challenge.
According to Dewey’s (1933) described to “how we think”.
The meaning of thinking it’s…
• Thinking as a “stream of consciousness” and the everyday “uncontrolled coursing of idea through our heads”, including dreaming & daydreams.
The word”thinking”particularly in educational contexts, is usually used to mean goal-directed process, such as remembering, forming concepts, reasoning, solving problems etc.
There is a considerable debate about the meaning of the term”metacognition”in the research literature. The term “metacognition” is coined by Flavell (1976).
In this article described there are three perspectives as under:
• Psychological perspectives
• Sociological perspectives
• Philosophical perspectives
In psychological perspectives Blooms and his associates (1956), psychologists and educationalists have sought to conceptualize a multitude of cognitive processes as a means of improving teaching, learning and assessment. Psychological approaches may address students’ limited creative and problem-solving abilities in order to develop better productivity in the global economy. Cognitive psychologists typically study thinking in other people- a third person perspective in which the metaphor of the brain as a computer has been dominant. Thinking is an internal, mental process that constructs and operates on mental representations of information. Thagard describes six approaches to modeling the mind, involing: logic, rules, concepts, analogies, images and neural connections.
In sociological perspectives thinking always takes place in a context has social influences and interactions whether direct or indirect, and the individual’s thinking is affected by the various affordances and constraints of different contexts. Awareness of aspects of thinking which can be applied in different contexts may be of benefit to learners who can see that aspects of their own experience may be relevant in a new situation.
In philosophical perspectives particular, aspects of epistemology, the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of language and related theories of meaning are relevant to an understanding of the way we think, know and learn. Ennis (1989, 1991) argue that there are important general thinking skills than can be used or applied across differenant contexts.

Foundation for critical thinking:
The roots of critical thinking established by Socrates. Socrates 2500 years ago who discovered by a method of probing questioning that people could not rationally justify their confident claims to knowledge. He established importance of seeking evidence, closely examining reasoning and assumptions, analyzing basic concepts, and tracing out implications not only of what is said but of what is done as well. His method of questioning is now known as “Socratic Questioning” and is the best known critical thinking teaching strategy. Socrates set the agenda for the tradition of critical thinking, namely, to reflectively question common beliefs and explanations. The different period or century various writer/thinkers talks about or to critical the various issues and the topic. These thinkers determined weaknesses and strengths of thought. The thinkers used the tools and resources of the critical thinker have been vastly increased in virtue of the history of critical thought. Yet for most educational purpose, it is the as summing up of base-line common denominators for critical that is most important.

ReplyDeleteWhat is thinking?
ReplyDeleteThe general meaning of thinking is internal process of mind. Trying to understand how people think and learn is in some ways an impossible challenge.
According to Dewey’s (1933):
Thinking as a “stream of consciousness” and the everyday “uncontrolled coursing of ideas through our heads”, including dreaming and daydreams.
Thinking as an imagination, thinking as synonymous with believing expressed in statements, reflective thinking as a chain of thought leading, through enquiry, to a conclusion.
The word “thinking” particularly in educational contexts, is usually used to mean goal directed process, such as remembering, planning what to do and say, imaging situations, solving problems, considering opinions, making decisions and judgments, and generating and new perspectives. There is a considerable debate about the meaning of the term”metacognition” in the research literature. The term “metacognition” is coined by Flavell. This article clearly described the psychological, sociological and philosophical perspectives of critical thinking.
In psychological perspectives many psychologist and educationalist have sought to conceptualize a multitude of cognitive processes as a means of improving teaching learning assessment. Cognitive psychologist typically study thinking in other people- a third person perspective in which the metaphor of the brain as a computer as be dominant. Thinking is an internal, mental process that contracts and operates on mental re presentations of information.
In socio-logical perspectives thinking always takes place in a context which has social influences and interactions whether direct or indirect, and the individual’s thinking is affected and by the various affordances and constraints of different contexts. Learning is a matter of internalizing and transforming something that is apparently objective to the individual.
In philosophical perspectives the philosophy of language and related theories of meaning are relevant to an understanding of the way we think, know and learn. General aspects of thinking can be identified in different contexts. According to McPeck (1981) argue that thinking is always context specific.

ReplyDeleteFoundation for Critical Thinking:
The role of the critical thinking established by Socrates 2500 years ago who discovered by a method of probing questioning that people could not rationally justify their confident claims to knowledge. Confused meaning, inadequate evidence, or self –contradictory beliefs often lurked beneath smooth but largely empty rhetoric. Socrates established the fact that one cannot depend upon those in “authority” to have power and sound knowledge and insight. He established the importance of seeking evidence, closely examining reasoning and assumptions, analyzing basic concepts, and tracing out implications not only of what is said but of what is done as well. His method of questioning is now known as “Socratic Questioning” and is the best known critical thinking teaching strategy. Socrates set the agenda for the tradition of critical thinking, namely, to reflectively question common beliefs and explanations. Socrates’ practice was followed by the critical thinking of Plato, Aristotle and the Greek skeptics. In the middle ages, the tradition of systematic critical thinking was embodied in the writings and teaching of such thinkers as Thomas Aquinas. In the renaissance, a flood of scholars in Europe began to think critically about religion, art, society, human nature, law and freedom. In England Francis Bacon recognized explicitly that the mind cannot safely be left to its natural tendencies. In his books ‘The advancement of learning ‘could be considered one of the earliest texts in critical thinking. Another significant contribution to critical thinking was by the thinkers of the French Enlightenment: Bayle, Montesquieu, Voltaire and Diderot Descartes, Sir Thomas Moore etc.
In short in different centuries various thinkers talks about the various issues or topics, to criticized various issues in this article. The tools and resources of the critical thinker have been vastly increased in virtue of the history of critical thought. Yet for most educational purposes, it is the summing up of base-line common denominators for critical thinking that is most important.
Article: 1 The concept of critical thinking is 2500 years old, almost the age of Socrates. He believed that the people of their time did not have the ability to justify their claims to knowledge. He was a believer of deauthorised knowledge. According to his idea, people no matter what power and position they have may be irrational and confused. He gave a concept of asking questions and deep thinking over any belief. His concept of ‘Socrates questioning” emphasised the importance of adequate evidences, rational foundation and intense contemplation. Socrates thoughts were inherited by Plato, Aristotle and Greek skeptics. They emphasised on delusive approach which shows human mind as ‘surface reality observer’. In which human mind tends to see whatever eyes appears in front of his/her.so through this concept the ancient Greeks gave the concept of ‘ analysing the deeper realities’ of things. As the time passed, Thomas Aquinas contributed the concept of reasoning through cross examination. At the time of renaissance (15th-16th cen.) concept about religion, art, society, human nature, law and freedom were added in the concept of critical thinking. Francis bacon a renaissance scholar in his book advancement of learning argued the importance of studying the world empirically. So, from renaissance scholars like Thomas Moore, Machiavelli (an Italian scholar), Hobbes, Locke, Robert Boyle, Sir Isaac newton, Spencer, Karl marks, Darwin, john Dewey examined the new dimensions of critical thinking. So to sum up, we can say that critical thinking is all about examining the available facts in order to find the deep truth.
ReplyDeleteArticle: 2 ‘Thinking’ is basically a process to understand anything. This anything can cover small things like word to big things like phenomenon. Dewey’s classic introduction to ‘how we think’ is an overview of the thinking process. It relates thinking with ‘stream of consciousness’ and imagination. Thinking in educational context is usually used to mean good directed process like remembering, forming concepts, reasoning, solving problems, considering opinions, making decisions and judgement. Dewey believed that one must develop his / her reflective thought to participate effectively in his/her democratic society. Thinking is related to the fields like philosophy, sociology and psychology. Psychology of education has identified the role of metacognition and self-regulation as of crucial importance. Flavell (1976) is on a view that metacognism refers to one’s own knowledge concerning one’s own cognitive processes and products or anything related to them. If we talk about psychological perspective thinking can best be understood in terms of representational structures in mind. On the sociological perspective, thinking always has social influence whether direct or indirect. Philosophically thinking is related to theories of meaning. The development of knowledge is the mai goal of thinking process.
Article:1 From surface to reality, from available facts to available truth is all the concept of critical thinking conveys. The concept of critical thinking is as older as the time of Socrates (2500 years old). Socrates was on a belief that the people of his time did not have the ability to think in order to express their knowledge evidently so he developed the concept of ‘Socrates questioning’ which demonstrates the art of asking questions to find adequate evidences. After that, his disciples like Plato and Aristotle continued their master’s legacy by the concept called “delusive approach’ according to it, the human mind simply believes whatever he watches instead of inferring deeper. Thomas Aquinas showed the same thing through the process of cross examination. So if we look at the timeline of the concept, we shall find that people from various fields like Science, physics, Philosophy, Psychology etc have shown their perception regarding critical thinking.

Thinking process is all about stimulating our mind in order to find a satisfactory possible solution of anything. It may be any problem or a though. Dewey, in his classical introduction relates critical thinking with a problem solving. The present article has demonstrated the critical thinking in three perspectives. Philosophical, Psychological and Sociological. If we look at Psychologically, The process of thinking seems to be a process of teaching-learning and Assessment. Sociologically it relates with the social influences our mind captures from society. And Philosophically , it belongs to the philosophy of mind.
Answer 1:
ReplyDeleteThe foundation laid by Socrates before 2500 years ago with a set of probing questions to which people were not able to rationally present their knowledge. He further states that it’s a false notion where people with ‘power’ and ‘authority’ are considered to have sound knowledge and rational ideas. So he established the importance of asking deep questions that probe profoundly into thinking. His method of questioning is still used and at present known as the best critical thinking teaching strategy and now known as ‘Socratic Questioning’. Socrates’ practice was also followed by views of Plato, Aristotle and Greek skeptics; they all believed that things are not what they actually look. Besides, delusive appearances often hide the deeper realities of life. From this ancient Greek tradition, emerged critical thinking as a discipline. Since then, Thomas Aquinas (middle age), scholars from Europe and others from England (Renaissance) started to critically think upon art, human nature, religion, society, law, etc.
Francis Bacon (England) was concerned with the way we misuse our minds in seeking knowledge. His book ‘The Advancement of Knowledge’ could be considered one of the earliest texts in critical thinking, which had the traditional agendas of critical thinking. Fifty years later, Descartes, a French scholar wrote a book entitled ‘Rules For the Direction of the Mind’ which might be called as the second text on critical thinking. He mentions about the need to base thinking on well-thought through foundational assumptions. Every part of thinking, he argued, should be questioned, doubted, and tested. In the same time period, Sir Thomas Moore developed a model of a new social order, Utopia which questioned the established social systems which are in need of radical analysis. During the Italian Renaissance, Machiavelli’s ‘The Prince’ critically assessed the politics of the day and laid the foundation for modern critical political thought. Hobbes and Locke (16th and 17th Century England) presented same views in the critical mind of the thinker that we find in Machiavelli. Both looked to the critical mind to open up new vistas of learning. Later in 17th and 18th century, Robert Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton contributed their ideas in this field leading to the accepted notion that egocentric views of world must be abandoned in favour of views based entirely on carefully gathered evidence and sound reasoning. Thinkers of French Enlightenment like Bayle, Montesquieu, Voltaire, and Diderot made a significant contribution to the notions of critical thinking by claiming that a human mind should always be surrounded by reason in order to figure out the social and political world. Applying to the problems of Economics, 18th century thinkers extended to the knowledge of critical thinking. 19th century critical though believers marked a significant change in perception in various dimensions like capitalism, history of human culture, the unconscious mind, anthropological studies, linguistics, etc. William Graham Sumner’s ‘Folkways’ (1906), helped people develop more explicit formulations on the power and importance of critical thinking.
To conclude, many thinkers have so far contributed to the development of critical thinking from different walks of life and for varied purposes. At the end what matters is critical thinking in every dimension of life in order to support claims and knowledge with a rational approach.
Answer 2:
ReplyDeleteDewey with his different definitions on thinking helps people to understand what ‘thinking’ actually means. In educational context, thinking plays an important role where one is expected to perform goal oriented process, pass any judgement or any comment. It is inevitable to think before saying anything. According to Dewey, it is the teacher’s role to plan an effective curriculum with different tasks where learners’ get to participate and stir their thinking skills. From the psychological perspective, huge interest in the teaching of thinking has been taken since it was considered very important for cognitive processes in educational practices. Cognitive psychologists used a metaphor computer for human brains where thinking is considered as an internal and mental process that constructs and operates on mental representations of information. Therefore, psychological perspective adds to the development of thinking that will probably lead to any kind of learning.
From the sociological point of view, there prevails different contexts and society in which a person survives. Hence, it is important for one to incorporate higher thinking skills which adheres with his/her sociological context.
Considering the philosophical perspective, aspects of epistemology, the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of language and related theories of meaning are relevant to an understanding of the way we think, know, and learn. In contemporary educational philosophy, the most important aspect is how general aspects of thinking is linked can be identified in different contexts.
Heading towards the conclusion, it becomes very significant to act, behave or say anything with higher thinking capabilities.

ReplyDeleteArticle 2. Dewey’s classic introduction (1933) to “How We Think” offers an overview of some of the different senses in which the term thinking is used. It is a stream of consciousness and uncontrolled coursing of ideas through our heads including dreaming and daydreams. It is basically prohibited to things those are not directly apparent. Thinking as synonymous is disparated with knowledge and the level of confidence with which one articulates such belief. The term Metacognition in research literature Is an important and arguable term coined by Flavell (1996). It refers to one’s knowledge pertaining to one’s own cognitive process and products or anything associatedwith them. Contemporary work of education in psychology recognized the role of it. The establishing work of Bloom and his associates (1956) psychologists and educationalists have required to conceptualize a multitude of cognitive process as a means of improving teaching. Thagard(1996) wrote about six approaches for reproduction of mind those are logi, rules, concepts, analogies, images and neural connection.some earlier approaches to instuctional design have center of attention for precisely formulated and superficially imposed behavioural objectives in place of goals set by learners. Thinking always takes place in a context which has social influence. Learning is the matter of internalizing and transforming something that is objective to the individual. Philosophical issues also effect upon aspects of thinking and learning. Epistemology philosophies of mind, language and other allied theories are applicable to an understanding of the ay one thinks, knows and learns. mcPeak (1981) argued that thinking is always context specific.
ReplyDeleteAnswer:1 What is thinking?
ReplyDeleteThinking is a very complex phenomenon that requires conscious efforts to understand. In order to understand it, we have to rely upon human behaviour, or certain signs or scientific approach. Dewey in his classic introduction to ‘How to Think’ highlights different senses of thinking i.e. as a stream of consciousness that dealt with subconscious and unconscious mind, or as an imagination or mindfulness restricted to unperceived things or reflective thinking based on reason and action. It is difficult to explain the word thinking but one can conclude to say that thinking plays vital role in personal as well as educational contexts. In short reflection thought proves beneficial to construct social identity and this would be possible with the active participation of teachers.
A cognitive aspect of behaviour is stressed for the improvement of teaching learning and assessment process. Conscious efforts have been made to meet the global challenges to produce sound learners who can accomplish educational attainment. Cognitive psychologists concentrate on brain as the study area. Thagard refers thinking as an internal mental process that resembles computer programmes that has adequate storage and can be functions on commands. Like that teachers only commands students thinking process as a viewers not as a operator.
Thinking is always affected by surrounded atmosphere. We born in the society and we grow there as a child so naturally culture has an adequate influence on one’s mind. It’s influence grows slowly and gradually as we begin to think about ourselves.
Philosophical thinking centres on knowledge as its main concerns. Philosophers like Ennis and Mcpeck advocates philosophical perspective with reference to specific contexts.
Answer:2 A history of the idea of critical thinking.
The scholarly bases of critical thinking are as old as its historical background, traceable, at last, to the showing practice and vision of Socrates 2,500 years prior who found by technique for examining scrutinizing that individuals couldn't justify their confidents cases to information. Socrates built up the way that one can't rely on those in "authority" to have sound learning and understanding. He set up the weakness of asking profound inquiry that test significantly into intuition before we acknowledge thoughts as deserving of conviction. Amid the century of fifteenth and sixteenth the researchers in Europe started to ponder religion, workmanship, society, human, nature, law, and opportunity. In the middle times, critical thinking was embodied in the written work and educating of such critical thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas who to follow his thinking met whatever remains of critical thought, dependably methodically expressed, considered, and addressed all criticism of his thoughts as essential stage in creating them. In this article the scholars of different century have their own particular perspective with respect to critical thinking. The critical thinking of Renaissance and post-Renaissance researchers opened the method for the rise of science and for the improvement of democracy, human rights and foredoom for thought. So in this article the masterminds have utilized their own particular perspectives in regards to critical thinking

In the article “A Brief History of the Idea of Critical Thinking”, the author states that the intellectual roots of critical thinking are as ancient as its etymology. The fact which Socrates established was that one cannot depend upon those in “authority” to have sound knowledge and insight. A person may have power and high position yet he can be deeply confused and irrational. Before accepting any idea, one should ask deep questions. The method of questioning is known as ‘Socratic Questioning’. Plato, Aristotle and the Greek skeptics followed Socrates’ practice. The tradition of systematic critical thinking was embodied in the writings and teachings of thinkers like Thomas Aquinas who illustrated that those who think critically do not always reject established beliefs, only those belief that lack reasonable foundations. The scholars in the Renaissance started thinking critically about religion, art, society, human nature etc. Sir Thomas Moore developed a model of a new social order, Utopia, in which every domain of the present world was subject to critique. Hobbes adopted a naturalistic view of the world in which everything was to be explained by evidence and reasoning whereas Locke defended a common sense analysis of everyday life and thought. In the views of Bayle, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Diderot, the thinkers of the French Enlightenment, the human mind, when disciplined by reason, is better able to figure out the nature of the social and political world. In the 20th Century, our understanding of the power and nature of critical thinking has emerged in increasingly more explicit formulations. The critical thinking requires the systematic monitoring of thought that thinking must not be accepted at face value but must be analyzed for its clarity, accuracy etc.
article 1. The intellectual roots of critical thinking are so ancient. Socrates 2,500 years ago discovered method of probing questioning that people could not rationally justify their confident claims to knowledge. He established the significance of seeking evidence, closely examining reasoning and assumptions, analysing basic concepts of what is said and done likewise. His method is known as “Socratic Questioning” and becomes the prominent method. Socrates’ practice was followed by the critical thinking of Plato and Aristotle and the Greek Skeptics emphasised that things are often very different from what they appear to be and that only the trained mind is prepared to see through the way things look to us on the surface to the way they really are under the surface. In the Renaissance, a flood of scholars in Europe began to think critically about religion, art, society, human nature, law, and freedom. Scholars named Colet, Erasmus, and Moore in England followed up on the insight of the ancients. In ‘The Advancement of learning’, Francis bacon argue for the importance of studying the world empirically and put stress on the information-gathering processes. Then after fifty years in France, Descartes wrote a text named ‘Rules For The Direction of the Mind’ in which he articulated and defended the need for a uniquesystematic disciplining of the mind to guide it in thinking. In the same era, Sir Thomas Moore developed a model of new social order, Utopia in which all areas of the present world was subject to critique. Hobbes and Locke (16th & 17th century) looked to the critical mind to open up new vistas of learning. Likewise so many scholars like Machiavelli, Robert Boyale, Sir Isaac Newton, etc. were gave their effort to put the idea at the best stage. Another significant contribution to critical thinking was by thinkers of French Enlightenment. To sum up, many scholars gave their best work for the enlargement of the theories of critical thinking and also depicted the effectiveness of critical thinking for students and teachers.

He set up the centrality of asking significant request that makes people to think suitably before enduring any contemplations and insights.

He similarly added to the strategy for essential thought in perspective of rule of exact vulnerability.
In the recorded background of essential hypothesis extended by various brains' instruments and resources.

In Dewey's viewpoint there are certain issues as to control. By the most basic target of preparing is to accept control and risk in our thinking as fruitful individual from even-handed society. There are certain frameworks which need to look after by teachers and learners. There is tree perspective in considering.

What is thinking?
Simple Definition of thinking :-
The action of using your mind to produce ideas, decisions, memories, etc. : the activity of thinking about something.
Full Definition of thinking :-
The action of using one's mind to produce thoughts.
I believe that thinking is, at its most simplistic, where an individual, in reaction to a range of stimuli, starts a process that modifies or strengthens their world view, beliefs, opinions, attitudes, and behaviours.
In the article “What is thinking?”, the author first talks about Dewey’s introduction to “How we think” in which he offers an overview of some of the different senses in which the term ‘thinking’ is used: Thinking as a ‘stream of consciousness; thinking as an ‘imagination or mindfulness’, thinking as ‘synonymous’. In educational context, the word ‘thinking’ is usually used to mean goal-directed process, forming concepts, imagining situations, reasoning etc. According to Dewey, the development of reflective thought is the most important goal of education and enables the individual to take control of and responsibility for their own thinking.
Thinking is a discipline and as such calls for changes in the way we carry out our daily activities, and make decisions, and that requires a consciousness of thought.
In other words in order for students to think about what they're doing they need to be encouraged into a discipline of questioning, and reflecting on their thoughts and thought processes and content. This is often referred to as metacognitive activity. It is the ability to think about your own thinking.
Thinking takes place in a context which has social influence and interactions and the individual’s thinking is affected by the various affordances and constraints of different contexts.
