商品簡介
Stobaugh (teacher education, Western Kentucky U.) helps elementary school teachers design instructional tasks and assessments that engage students in critical thinking. She first discusses the definition of critical thinking, the importance of these skills in instruction, and the levels of Bloom's taxonomy, then misconceptions about critical thinking and problems associated with designing high-level thinking tasks and assessments, and how to use interpretive exercises that incorporate scenarios, visuals, and quotes to increase the level of critical thinking. She ends with ideas for creating a classroom culture and ways to include interpretive exercises in instruction and assessments. There is no index.
