Book excerpt: FULL COLOR VERSION. A BLACK AND WHITE VERSION IS ALSO AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE."Science for Critical Thinkers" is a comprehensive approach to developing student's critical thinking skills in science. Written by two science educators with over 30 years combined teaching experience in middle and high school instruction, the book promises to educate and develop young minds ages 10-13, to think as scientists do. This 450-pages, full color science resource is a complete curriculum for private and homeschools alike. It contains four years of science study conveniently packaged into one book; the Nature of Science, Physical Science, Life Science and Earth and Space Science. An exceptional value for discerning parents. Students utilize the text from late elementary school straight through middle school. Each unit is composed of labs kids can do at home, enrichment activities, critical thinking activities, a science art project, an engineering project, an oral skill building activity, writing activities, observation activities, online activities, practice questions with an answer key, problem solving questions and more than enough content to start properly developing scientific thinking. The book also contains a science pre-test to assess student's prior knowledge before beginning the curriculum; a comprehensive glossary, a calculations section; instructions on how to use the book, instructions for answering questions scientifically; and graph paper for graphing activities. Content is presented in a ready-to-use and easy-to-understand format. From the onset of the course students start applying the scientific method in the design of their own controlled experiment. They use a science journal for recording observations, data, and completing their laboratory exercises. 18 inquiry and science process skills are presented to master. These include classifying, collecting data, hypothesizing, identifying and controlling variables, and more. Students develop a discipline of scientific thinking as they participate in activities outlined in each unit. They will take what they routinely learn with the curriculum and use it to apply science reasoning to the real life situations they encounter. The world becomes their classroom as students begin to question, investigate, explore and make discoveries on their own initiative. Online and library research is encouraged as students begin to think about science in more enlightened and intuitive ways. Pushing a cart in the supermarket will have them thinking about Newton's laws of motion. When they see their cuts and bruises healing nicely, they will think about the process of mitosis. Learning about science from a critical thinking perspective helps kids to improve their problem solving abilities and allow them to think systematically and logically when dealing with issues of a practical and intellectual nature. The text provides excellent preparation for a systematic study of science later in the high school years.

Download or read book Redefining Scientific Thinking for Higher Education written by Mari Murtonen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-21 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the learning and development process of students’ scientific thinking skills. Universities should prepare students to be able to make judgements in their working lives based on scientific evidence. However, an understanding of how these thinking skills can be developed is limited. This book introduces a new broad theory of scientific thinking for higher education; in doing so, redefining higher-order thinking abilities as scientific thinking skills. This includes critical thinking and understanding the basics of science, epistemic maturity, research and evidence-based reasoning skills and contextual understanding. The editors and contributors discuss how this concept can be redefined, as well as the challenges educators and students may face when attempting to teach and learn these skills. This edited collection will be of interest to students and scholars of student scientific skills and higher-order thinking abilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book promotes the effective implementation and development of critical analysis in physics. It focuses on explanatory texts concerning subjects typically dealt with in secondary or higher education and addressed in an academic or popular context. It highlights the general difficulties and obstacles inherent in teaching physics and shows how some tools can help to combine successful criticism and better understanding. The book examines the main reasons to call a text into question and looks at risk factors such as simplifications, story-like explanations and visual analogies. It takes inventory of the benefits and limits of critical analysis and discusses the complex links between conceptual mastery and critical attitude. The book ends by offering tools to activate critical thinking and ways for educators to guide students towards productive critical analysis.

Book excerpt: Developing Research Skills: Key Readings and Critical Thinking Exercises provides students with thought-provoking readings, insightful discussion questions, and critical thinking exercises designed to help them become enlightened consumers of psychological science. The text encourages students to critically evaluate psychological studies, rather than immediately accepting research findings at face value. Through identifying the strengths and weaknesses of various research methodologies, learning to understand a study's inherent limitations, assessing potential variables in the given data, and more, students learn to shrewdly assess various research methods used to produce psychological studies. The carefully selected readings provide students with concrete examples of fundamental research methods concepts, and each reading is complemented by discussion questions that bridge the gap between the learned concept and real-world practice. Emphasizing the need for highly developed critical thinking skills and astute analysis in the field of psychological research, Developing Research Skills is ideal for research methods in psychology courses. Vincent Trofimoff is a social-personality psychologist and lecturer in the Department of Psychology at California State University, San Marcos. He has taught research methods in psychology courses for over 20 years, and also has extensive experience teaching statistics, personality, and social psychology courses. He received his master's degree and doctorate, both in social-personality psychology, from the University of California, Riverside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Help students meet today’s literacy demands with this new book from Terry Roberts and Laura Billings. The authors show how a seminar approach can lead students deeper into a text and improve their speaking, listening, and writing skills, as recommended by the Common Core State Standards. Roberts and Billings provide easy-to-follow information on implementing Paideia Seminars, in which students discuss a text and ask open-ended questions about it. When teachers use this lesson format, students are exposed to a wide range of increasingly complex texts. They also learn how to collaborate, talk about, and reflect on what they’re reading, to make meaning independently and together. Seminars can be done in English class and across the curriculum, using social studies documents or math problems as the texts under discussion. Teaching Critical Thinking also offers an array of practical resources: teacher lesson plans student samples a list of possible ideas and values for discussion a guide to asking good questions during a seminar six full seminar plans (including the texts), covering literature, social studies, and science topics
