Schafersman's "Intro. To Critical Thinking" was been the best "how
to" guide so far on functional critical thinking. Schafersman draws a
clear correlation between science and math skills with one's ability to
think critically. This would explain why so many students graduate from
high school with low grades in math and science and virtually no
critical thinking skills.
I can personally see how my own lack of math and science in my
education has affected my ability to be a critical thinker.
Schafersman's statement that we "teach students what to think not
how to think" is completely accurate. High school students are test
takers and test takers only. All emphasis is on test scores.
Schafersman provides outstanding guidelines to provide critical thinking
skills in to the classroom.
