Critical thinking is the ability to analyze information and arguments to make sound decisions. I was able to not only use critical thinking but improve on it because of World History 12 and the assignments that were completed. Critical thinking was mainly used during the seminar discussions, I was able to evaluate evidence, consider alternative perspectives, and problem-solve in order to come up with appropriate arguments that back up my beliefs and actions. I developed critical thinking skills during the seminar discussion such as creating beneficial arguments and questions, actively engaging in the discussions, and being able to seek out diverse perspectives.
At the beginning of History 12, my critical thinking skills were still needing to be improved. After our first discussion, I finally got a sense of the different skills and strengths that I needed to improve on as well as which ones I could use. My use of critical thinking in seminar discussions in World History 12 allowed me to make better decisions and arguments, It enabled me to evaluate information and create claims in a logical and objective manner.
I was able to rely on Mr. Lepore’s sources for my arguments and the choices I made and I am very appreciative about that. The sources allowed me to look at problems from different angles and consider alternative perspectives.
The difference between creative and critical thinking, how are they the same and how are they different? Well, I think they are different in many ways, creative thinking is usually from your prespective and thinking out of the box. Now for critical thinking I you mostly take critiques from others and learn from them. You could also critique others work but still respect their opinion in their work. They are the same because you still have to put a lot of thought in both of them. For example; an art project: I worked on different things in my studio 3D art class. We worked on something called an ocarina. An ocarina takes both creative and critical thinking. For creative we thought about what shape we wanted, the different designs we want, and the details and expressions. For critical thinking we had to correct our mistakes. Like mine, I made my hole of the ocarina too big and I asked Mrs. Collins how come my whistle is not working? She showed me my mistake and told me how to correct it and what I need to correct it. This was me understanding the critiques Mrs. Collins was telling me. So I took her corrections and fixed my ocarina and the whislte now works perfectly!
