      Week-2: Paraphrasing (Critical Thinking for Language Studies)

                 *  Critical Thinking Development: A Stage Theory

“Practicing thinkers have enough skill in thinking to critique their own plan for systematic practice, and to construct a realistic critique of their powers of thought. Furthermore, practicing thinkers have enough skill to begin to regularly monitor their own thoughts. Thus they can reflectively articulate the strengths and weaknesses in their thinking.”
Linda Elder with Richard Paul
                *   My Paraphrase:

Stage four The Practicing Thinkers have potential to review their thinking for systematic practice and they can review the power of their thought holistically. Their thoughts are in a logical flow. They are able enough to find out the strengths and weakness of their own thinking. When people explicitly recognize that improvement in thinking requires regular practice and adopt some regimen of practice, then have they become what we call thinkers? There are many potential ways, some better and some worse.

                     *  Personal response to this paragraph:

Critical thinking is an important element in many fields such as education, politics, business, science and arts. It’s very important in thinking skill process in a system for teaching and the result is too much confusing for both teachers and students. There are also many programs that focus on thinking. Knowledge is a product of thinking.

Ex:

Bloom’s taxonomy classification of ‘cognitive’ domain. Bloom’s revised taxonomy original terms and new terms.

Origin terms                         New terms

Evaluation                               Evaluating
Synthesis                                  Creating
Analysis                                    Analyzing
Application                             Applying
Comprehension                    Understanding   
Knowledge                              Remembering

Taxonomy reflects different forms of thinking and thinking is an active process verb and was more accurate.
