WGU CRITICAL THINKING -D265 108 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
WGU CRITICAL THINKING -D265 108 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Critical thinking - answer primarily the ability to think carefully about thinking and reasoning—to criticize your own reasoning. "Criticize" here is not meant in the sense of being mean or talking down or making fun of. Instead, it is used in the sense of, for example, how a coach might take a critical stance toward a players' skills—he throws high every time, she does not lead with her foot, they ride too forward in the saddle, etc. "Critical" here means something more like "reflective," "careful," or "attentive to potential errors." Being curious and thinking creatively: - answer not believing things are simple and settled, being willing to go the next step and think about all of the possible positions and arguments before settling into a position. Separating the thinker from the position: - answer being able to discuss a position without attacking or judging the person holding the position, without getting caught up in our own attachment to the position or its antithesis, and without having our identities wrapped up in a particular viewpoint or opinion. Knowing oneself enough to avoid biases and errors of thought: - answer being aware of the flawed patterns of reasoning we are disposed to engage in, being aware of cognitive biases and mental heuristics (rough rules that work well enough to survive but don't work in many cases) that we're prone as a species to have, all in the interest of counteracting these biases and flaws.
