Module 7: 
Lecture Content- Characteristics and Techniques to Develop Critical Thinking

Definition reached by a panel of leading critical thinking scholars and researchers and reported in the Delphi Report (Evans, 2020):

“Purposeful, self-regulatory judgment which results in interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, and an explanation of the evidential, conceptual, methodological, criteriological, or contextual considerations upon which that judgment is based.”


Reading – Tips to develop critical thinking:

· Establish the purpose of the reading.

· Examine and inspect the content of the entire book.

· Ask and formulate questions.

· Look for the meaning of what you are reading.

· Express what you are reading.

· Review what you have studied.


Reading Comprehension:

Reading is a process that involves the following steps:

Perception

Our eyes must be able to perceive a word or a set of words in a fraction of seconds while our mind captures the meaning.

In other words, three or four words are embraced at a glance.

A focused and alert mental activity is necessary.

Comprehension

Ability to understand the message by creating the image in mind according to what the word conveys.

Interpretation

The reader attributes meaning to something.

Reaction

The reader has an attitude of acceptance or rejection of the ideas expressed by the author.

Integration

The reader establishes relationships of the ideas expressed, that is, accepts them or integrates them into their personal experiences if they consider them to be of value.


Written Communication:

A good writer should consider the following processes:

· Plan, generate ideas and elaborate a writing plan. What you want to say, how to say it, what people know about the subject.

· Write, and convert ideas into words, for which it is necessary: a graphic representation of letters, structuring of ideas, words, sentences, and paragraphs, apply grammar and spelling rules.

· Proofreading, improving the text until it is in its final form.


Oral Communication:

To establish effective oral communication, consider the following:

· Use the appropriate technological tools to transmit the message.

· Pay attention to nonverbal communication and body language.

· Encourage interaction and feedback among participants.

· Use appropriate language.

· Watch your posture.

· Search for a focal point in front of a large audience, and the key will be to look around the room to determine control in communication.
