Final entry on Introduction to critical thinking
Finally, I'm able to understand and apply most of the critical thinking concept and strategies particulary in my written assignment. Actually I've been familiar with critical thinking when I taught in my previous school, however, this is my first time to apply and practice it in the written form. The concept and stratregies taught in the workshop have been very useful to improve my writing assignment.All my action plans have been really attached and blended with myself in my reading and writing activities. When I read any books or articles, I will check the author, year of the book published and references list. Furthermore, I analyse the methodology and context of the journal that I read. In my writing, I try drafting key concepts in logical order and ask myself for the purpose and needed key information should be included. And, the last thing is to balance and include various perspectives from positive to negative point of views. Although, sometimes I'm still having difficulties for certain topics in applying this strategy, I believe that practices will make better.

Hi Maria,
I’m glad you have found the workshop and follow-up action points useful. What you say about having already come across critical thinking is interesting. In many ways critical thinking is about applying skills we already possess – such as questioning and logic – in the context of our study. I have very much enjoyed reading your comments and I will email Celine Moore to let her know that you have finished the blogs for A5.

Hi Austin,
I’ve been working in an IB school which is implementing critical thinking in our teaching and learning process. Once again, thank you for all your support.
Cheers,
Maria
