This establishes for the student that it is not something unattainable and in fact they will be utilising many skills that they have already started developing and demonstrating. The Personal and Professional Skills course is an excellent place to build up these skills in a safe and comfortable way that students do not find intimidating. Using different contexts, examples and asking students to respond in different formats can encourage independence and confidence. </p><p><strong>Towards a definition - how much of the learner profile can you see implied here?</strong><br />A well cultivated critical thinker:</p><ul><li><strong>raises vital questions and problems</strong>, formulating them clearly and precisely</li><li><strong>gathers and assesses relevant information</strong>, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively, comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards</li><li><strong>thinks open-mindedly within alternative systems of thought</strong>, recognising and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences</li><li><strong>communicates effectively </strong>with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems<br /><br />(adapted from Richard Paul and Linda Elder, The Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking Concepts and Tools, Foundation for Critical Thinking Press, 2008)</li></ul><section><p>The Learner Profile and the critical thinker. Looking at the definition above Inquirer, Thinker, Balanced, Open-minded, Communicator, Knowledgeable stand out strikingly. However critical thinking involves being a Risk-taker, pushing yourself not to take things at face value and try alternative ways of thinking. Being a critical thinker involves being Principled as it is a way of thinking that commits to logic, precision and finding solutions.</p></section><h6><a href="Browse server to select file" target="_blank" title="Teacher notes"><img class="ico" src="img/materials/teacher-notes-24.png" style="vertical-align: middle" /> </a><strong>Understanding 'implications'</strong></h6><p>Students can struggle with a key part to quality critical thinking being the ability to evaluate the implications of the evidence they have presented. An understandable struggle as we are asking them to reach beyond the boundaries of what they can see on the surface. In preparation for this and to support the activities below, consider how these definitions, synonyms and questions could help students to an understanding of critical evaluation.</p><div class="greenBg"><div class="dottedBox"><p><a href="Browse server to select file" target="_blank" title="Teacher notes"><img class="ico" src="img/materials/teacher-notes-24.png" style="vertical-align: middle" /> </a><strong>Definitions and synonyms </strong></p><p>Each of the following statements are slightly different but all define 'implications' in the context of the reflective project</p><p><em>1. the conclusion that can be drawn from something although it is not explicitly stated.</em></p><p><em>2. a likely consequence of something.</em></p><p><em>3. the action or state of being involved in something.</em></p><p>What are the key words that students might be drawn to here?

If we use the definition of critical thinking above, students will have to 'raise vital questions and problems' which they certainly have to in Criterion A as well as reflect on these in their RPPF (criterion E). Criterion A also demands they 'gather and assess relevant information' being able to identify bias along the way. With the ethical thinking and local and global examples called for in criterion B, students must 'think open-mindedly with alternative systems of thought'. Critical thinking is part of criteria A and B and not just within the body of the essay itself and criterion C. The whole reflective project is a critical thinking process.</section></div></div></div><div class="panel panel-orange"><div class="panel-heading"><a class="expander pull-right" href="#"><span class="fa fa-plus"></span></a><div><p>Getting students started</p></div></div><div class="panel-body"><div><h5>Thinking routines to promote critical thinking</h5>Critical thinking is perhaps the third musketeer in the thinking skills needed specifically for the reflective project; ethical thinking, reflective thinking and critical thinking.
