An Introduction to Critical Thinking Paperback – 16 November 2000
by
Bruce Reichenbach
(Author)
This text uses the educational objectives of Benjamin Bloom as six steps to critical thinking (namely: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation). The book starts with the absolute basics (for example, how to find the topic, issue, and thesis) vs. the usual “explaining and evaluating arguments” and fine distinctions that easily can lose students.
