Daniel T. Willingham (2020). 'How to Teach Students to Think Critically' Twitter thread


“... for educators, one fact ought to be salient. We’re not even sure the general skills exist, but we’re quite sure there’s no proven way to teach them directly. In contrast, we have a pretty good idea of how to teach students the more specific critical thinking skills.” Critical thinking is conditional on the knowledge one has (a necessary, not a sufficient condition ;-) --> knowledge comes first. There is no guarantee that one’s critical thinking is correct, critical thinking may be faulty as hell. (‘Critical thinkers’ on pandemic issues ... ) Thinking critically about ‘critical’ thinking, it occurs to me that what is meant in most cases is ‘methodologically sound’ thinking, conditional on a specific knowledge domain. An example: John Hayes 1989 ‘The complete problem solver’ https://www.routledge.com/The-Complete-Problem-Solver/Hayes/p/book/9780805803099
