Learning to Thinking . . . Didactic to Critical • The didactic theory of learning is to teach students what to think so that they learn what the teachers know. • The emerging critical theory is to teach students how to think so that they can find their own way through the problems & concerns they meet in life.
Bloom’s Six Levels • Knowledge • Comprehension • Application • Analysis • Synthesis • Evaluation
Name List Recognize Choose Label Relate Tell Recall Match Define Knowledge – Level 1 – RecallRemembering previously learned material, recalling facts, terms, basic concepts from stated text
Compare Describe Outline Organize Classify Explain Rephrase Show Relate Identify Comprehension – Level 2 – UnderstandDemonstrating understanding of the stated meaning of facts and ideas
Speculate Interpret Infer Generalize Conclude Inference – Level 2.5 – InferDemonstrating understanding of the unstated meaning of facts and ideas
Apply Construct Model Use Practice Dramatize Restructure Simulate Translate Experiment Application – Level 3 – Put to useSolving problems by applying acquired knowledge, facts, and techniques in a different situation
Analyze Diagram Classify Contrast Sequence Simplify Summarize Relate to Categorize Differentiate Analysis – Level 4 – Break DownExamining and breaking down information into parts
Compose Design Develop Propose Adapt Elaborate Formulate Originate Solve Invent Synthesis – Level 5 – Put togetherCompiling information in a different way by combining elements in a new pattern
Judge Rank Rate Evaluate Recommend Defend Justify Prioritize Support Prove Evaluation – Level 6 – JudgePresenting and defending opinions by making judgments about information based on criteria

Being a critical thinker is not only essential for school, but for students’ lives and careers. They must learn to do analysis – get a clear understanding of the data before they begin to form their opinions. • Asking the right questions seems to be a key in teaching students to be critical thinkers.
