Critical Thinking
The process of obtaining and interpreting data necessary for understanding the
individual, system, or situation.
It refers to the action and the result of evaluating a verb whose etymology goes
back to the French valuer and to indicate, assess, establish, assess or
estimate the importance of a particular thing or subject.
An assessment can also be understood as a proposed in schools to qualify
teachers the knowledge, skills and performance of their students test. For
example: "Tomorrow I have an evaluation of english" or "Today I evaluated in
SocialSciences".
Evaluation should be ongoing and should occur at all stages, in order to determine that
learning objectives have been met and misconceptions avoided. Any number of
rubrics,checklists, interviews, observation or other evaluation tools can be used. If
interest in a particular aspect or concept is shown, further inquiry should be
encouraged and a new cyclecan begin that builds upon the previous one. Inquiries may
branch off and inspire new cycles,repeating the process in a spiralling fractal of
interrelated concepts, where instruction is both structured and yet open to investigation.
