Introduction

Often teachers are looking for the development of critical thinking skills within their students as these skills will help in the students' future life. Sometimes they are called "HOTS" - for Higher Order Thinking Skills. These are important life skills.

Process

Teachers look at this list to identify the Higher Order Thinking Skills & Philosophical Skills in your students. This list was developed by Associate Professor Phil Cam, a Philosopher. It can also be used when you are undertaking a Community of Inquiry with your class.  (Source: Associate Professor Phil Cam).

Students - High SchoolSecondary

S
tudents can be given this list to help them see if they are using these skills in discussions, essays, debates, analysis or Community of Inquiry

After the discussion (or during it), fill out the table below. How did you go with your critical thinking skills? Share with a partner to see if they picked up any skills you missed.

If you want to continue to analyse your thinking [and remember these skills will help with both internal and external exams], use the term planner.
