The Text Says


Notes (key concepts, direct quotes, etc.)
students construct meaning and produce knowledge

Knowledge is thin or superficial when it does not deal with


significant concepts of a topic or discipline

In classes with little or no substantive conversation,


interaction typically consists of a lecture with recitation in
which the teacher deviates very little from delivering a
preplanned body of information and set of questions

Connections

I Say
My notes, commentary
I think this can be said easily about learning,
whats important about critical thinking is that
it helps you find how its important to your life.
I cant think of how many times Im learning
something and dislike it because it has no
meaning to me at all. This is the type of
knowledge that seems worthless knowing.
Lectures are to date the worst type of teaching.
I feel that it is someone telling me to learn
something for a test that I can then forget
later. Having in depth questions that ask how
and why can break through normal boring
lectures.
We talk about in class about how understanding and
teaching social studies is nessisary to become a great
student. This connects, because the more you make people
in depth and the more you can tie the knowledge into
regular day life, the more it hits home and becomes
ingrained in their head.
There was a study done in a kindergarten classroom where
the teacher told the class to be mean to everyone with

blonde hair and blue eyes. As shown the class followed, it


showed how easily the call could segregate based on one
person telling them too. This brought a connection for me
with WWII, the reason that Hitler told everyone that Jewish
people were the enemy because a personal vendetta he had
against one.
I think that this article is needed in our class because it
helps us connect to not only the benefits of critical
thinking, but why its beneficial for our citizenship.
