Critical Thinking Learning
Outcomes
| CODE |
STATEMENT |
QUALITIES |
| CT1 |
Students gather knowledge, apply it to a new
situation, and draw reasonable conclusions in ways that
demonstrate comprehension. |
Students inquire into an unfamiliar situation
given a strategy or concept. (Responding in a similar
situation) |
| CT2 |
Students determine value of multiple sources or
strategies and select those most appropriate in a given
context. |
Students compare various perspectives, strategies
or concepts and respond using the most appropriate
alternative. (Making a decision) |
| CT3 |
Students generate an answer, approach, or
solution through an effective synthesis of diverse sources and
arguments and provide a rationale. |
Students use creative thinking to produce a
product, idea, or method that is new to them.
(Designing your own) |
| CT4 |
Students actively reflect on their answer,
approach, or solution and act upon those reflections to
improve the final result. |
Students justify, challenge, and revise their
position, judgment, or conclusion through self-assessment and
active reflection. (Reflecting
upon one’s own thought process) |
Note: Unlike the Communication and Diversity outcomes, these are
leveled from low (CT1) to high (CT4) and are meant to show a
progression of the student.
Also, the Critical Thinking outcomes were modeled using Bloom's
Taxonomy - specifically levels three through six. Thus, CT1
corresponds to Bloom's Application, CT2 corresponds to Bloom's
Analysis, CT3 corresponds to Bloom's Synthesis, and CT4 corresponds
to Bloom's Evaluation.
