Integrating Critical


Thinking Into the


Classroom




In many classrooms I visit, students’ primary

focus is on what they are expected to do and

how it will be measured. It seems that we are

becoming successful at producing students

 who are able to jump through hoops and pass

 tests. But are we producing children that are

positive about teaching and learning and can

think critically and creatively?

 Consider your classroom environment and the

extent to which you employ strategies that

develop students’ critical-thinking skills and

 their self-esteem as learners.
 


Is there a secret to teaching critical thinking? - Insight Assessment


Development of self-esteem



One of the most significant factors that impacts

students’ engagement and achievement in

learning in your classroom is their self-esteem.

 In this context, self-esteem can be viewed to

 be the difference between how they perceive

themselves as a learner (perceived self) and

what they consider to be the ideal learner (ideal

self). This ideal self may reflect the child that is

associated or seen to be the smartest in the

 class. Your aim must be to raise students’ self-

esteem. To do this, you have to demonstrate

that effort, not ability, leads to success. Your

language and interactions in the classroom,

therefore, have to be aspirational—that if

children persist with something, they will

achieve.

Use of evaluative praise



Ensure that when you are praising students,

you are making explicit links to a child’s critical

thinking and/or development. This will enable

them to build their understanding of what

 factors are supporting them in their learning.


For example, often when we give feedback to

students, we may simply say, “Well done” or

“Good answer.” However, are the students

actually aware of what they did well or what

was good about their answer?


 Make sure you make explicit what the student

has done well and where that links to prior

learning. How do you value students’ critical

thinking—do you praise their thinking and

demonstrate how it helps them improve their

learning?

 


Demystifying children's critical thinking skills | The High Asia Herald

Learning conversations to


encourage deeper thinking



We often feel as teachers that we have to

provide feedback to every students’ response,

but this can limit children’s thinking.

 Encourage students in your class to engage

 in learning conversations with each other.

 Give as many opportunities as possible to

students to build on the responses of others.

Facilitate chains of dialogue by inviting students

 to give feedback to each other.



The teacher’s role is, therefore, to facilitate this

 dialogue and select each individual student to

give feedback to others. It may also mean that

you do not always need to respond at all to a

student’s answer.

 


Teacher modelling own thinking


We cannot expect students to develop critical-

thinking skills if we aren’t modeling those

thinking skills for them.



Share your creativity, imagination, and thinking

skills with the students and you will nurture

creative, imaginative critical thinkers.Model the

language you want students to learn and think

about.


 Share what you feel about the learning activities

 your students are participating in as well as the

thinking you are engaging in.


 Your own thinking and learning will add to the

discussions in the classroom and encourage

students to share their own thinking.


 


Metacognitive questioning



Consider the extent to which your questioning

 encourages students to think about their

thinking, and therefore, learn about learning!

Through asking metacognitive questions, you

will enable your students to have a better

understanding of the learning process, as well

as their own self-reflections as learners.



Example questions may include:


Why did you choose to do it that way?


When you find something tricky, what helps you?

How do you know when you have really learned

something?
 



‘Adventures of Discovery’




Critical thinking blasts through the surface level

of a topic. It reaches beyond the who and the

what and launches students on a learning

journey that ultimately unlocks a deeper level

 of understanding. Teaching students how to

think critically helps them turn information into

knowledge and knowledge into wisdom.

In the classroom, critical thinking teaches

students how to ask and answer the questions

needed to read the world.

 Whether it’s a story, news article, photo, video,

advertisement, or another form of media,

students can use the following critical-thinking

strategies to dig beyond the surface and

uncover a wealth of knowledge.

 



A Layered Learning Approach



Begin by having students read a story, article,

 or analyze a piece of media.

Then have them excavate and explore its

various layers of meaning.

First, ask students to think about the literal

meaning of what they just read.

For example, if students read an article about

the desegregation of public schools during the

1950s, they should be able to answer questions

 such as:


 Who was involved?

 What happened?

 Where did it happen?

 Which details are important?


This is the first layer of critical thinking: reading

comprehension. Do students understand the

passage at its most basic level?


 


Ask the Tough Questions



The next layer delves deeper and starts to

uncover the author’s purpose and craft.

 Teach students to ask the tough questions:



What information is included?

 What or who is left out?

How does word choice influence the reader?

What perspective is represented?

 What values or people are marginalized?



 These questions force students to critically

analyze the choices behind the final product.

 In today’s age of fast-paced, easily accessible

 information, it is essential to teach students

 how to critically examine the information they

consume. The goal is to equip students with the

 mindset to ask these questions on their own.


 



Strike Gold


The deepest layer of critical thinking comes

 from having students take a step back to think

about the big picture. This level of thinking is

 no longer focused on the text itself but rather

 its real-world implications.

 Students explore questions such as:

Why does this matter?

 What lesson have I learned?

 How can this lesson be applied to other situations?


Students truly engage in critical thinking when

they are able to reflect on their thinking and

apply their knowledge to a new situation.

This step has the power to transform

knowledge into wisdom.


 


Adventures of Discovery


There are vast ways to spark critical thinking

 in the classroom.


Here are a few other ideas:



Critical Expressions:

In this expanded response to reading from a

critical stance, students are encouraged to

respond through forms of artistic interpretations,

dramatizations, singing, sketching, designing

projects, or other multimodal responses.

 For example, students might read an article

 and then create a podcast about it or read a

story and then act it out.


 


Transmediations:

This activity requires students to take an article

or story and transform it into something new.

 For example, they might turn a news

into a cartoon or turn a story into a poem.

Alternatively, students may rewrite a story by

changing some of its elements, such as the

setting or time period.
 


Words Into Action:

In this type of activity, students are encouraged

to take action and bring about change.

Students might read an article about

endangered orangutans and the effects of

habitat loss caused by deforestation and be

inspired to check the labels on products for

palm oil. They might then write a letter asking

companies how they make sure the palm oil

they use doesn’t hurt rain forests.
 



Socratic Seminars:

In this student-led discussion strategy, students

 pose thought-provoking questions to each other

 about a topic. They listen closely to each

other’s comments and think critically about

different perspectives.
 



Classroom Debates:

Aside from sparking a lively conversation,

classroom debates naturally embed critical-

thinking skills by asking students to formulate

and support their own opinions and consider

and respond to opposing viewpoints.




Critical thinking has the power to launch

students on unforgettable learning experiences

while helping them develop new habits of

thought, reflection, and inquiry. Developing

these skills prepares students to examine

 issues of power and promote transformative

change in the world around them.
