User: How do critical thinking skills increase the originality of your coursewok?

Weegy: Paul, Binker, Jensen, and Kreklau (1990) have developed a list of 35 dimensions of critical thought: "A. Affective Strategies 1. Thinking independently - don't just believe what everyone else does. 2. [ Developing insight into egocentricity (thinking and behaving as if you are the center of the universe) or sociocentricity (thinking and behaving as a member of a society) 3. Exercising fairmindedness - keep an open mind always. 4. Exploring thoughts underlying feelings and feelings underlying thoughts - don't let your feelings take over! 5. Developing intellectual humility and suspending judgment - don't jump to conclusions and assume that you are right. 6. Developing intellectual courage - don't be afraid to make mistakes. 7. Developing intellectual good faith or integrity - don't assume that information is wrong, and don't try to spread wrong information. 8. Developing intellectual perseverance - keep at it! 9. Developing confidence in reason - critical thinking does solve problems. B. Cognitive Strategies--Macro-Abilities 10. Defining generalizations and avoiding oversimplifications - avoid broad definitions or "lumping everything together" - recognize that there are many shades of gray and try to sort them out. 11. Comparing analogous situations: transferring insights to new contexts - how is this new situation like something familiar? How are these things like those things? Learn to see similarities. 12. Developing one's perspective: creating or exploring beliefs, arguments, or theories - be able to understand and explain your own beliefs so that you can compare them to others. 13. Clarifying issues, conclusions, or beliefs - find the most complete definition or conclusion that you can. 14. Clarifying and analyzing the meanings of words or phrases - make certain that you fully understand all words and phrases. 15. Developing criteria for evaluation: clarifying values and standards - how are you going to evaluate this information? How will you decide which is the best solution? 16. ]
