Philosophy For Children
The goal has nothing to do with trying to convert children and teenagers into professional philosophers, but instead, its aim is to develop and preserve their critical, creative and caring thinking and attitude. Information on this international movement. By Stella Accorinti.
http://www.vusst.hr/ENCYCLOPAEDIA/philosophy_for_children.htm

Extractions: Philosophy for Children Stella Accorinti President of the Research Centre in Philosophy for Children - Argentina The US philosopher Mathew Lipman, created Philosophy for Children in 1969, and nowadays more than 50 countries from all continents has applied its program. The goal has nothing to do with trying to convert these children and teenagers into professional philosophers, but instead, its aim is to develop and preserve their critical, creative and caring thinking and attitude. The program is based on: A bunch of philosophical texts, written by philosophers that works at Philosophy for Children, both in theory as well as practice. These reading texts represents the basis on which the philosophical discussion is built. The texts were thought and written in order to achieve the discussion, therefore, they are written with a didactic intention (that’s why we just don’t use any kind of text from the corpus of the literature, and that’s why we refuse to call them "tales" or "novels". Although we avoid to use any kind of texts, we obviously use some carefully as an extra material for some discussion that are already taking place, and that was previously instigated by those philosophical texts mentioned before. In the same way, we sometimes use pictures, literature texts, films or any-other source we think is well suited). A formation program for teachers, that will allow them to extract all the possibilities from the texts, assuring them that the task that’s being performed is the development of the complex thought and the philosophical discussion and not something "similar" (scientific and religious discussion, or group therapy).

Please send comments to rhennis@uiuc.edu My academic interests lie primarily in the areas, critical thinking, philosophy of science (especially causality), and analysis of educational concepts. Click on any underlined item of interest to you for references, expansion, and unpublished thoughts. A number of references appear under more than one heading: Critical Thinking Critical Thinking Definition : Includes concerns with assumption identification logical competence best-explanation reasoning definition ... credibility of sources , and critical thinking dispositions See A Super-Streamlined Conception of Critical Thinking for the a very brief outline of my most recent unexemplified version of a conception of critical thinking. See An Outline of Goals for a Critical Thinking Curriculum and Its Assessment for some elaboration of the super-streamlined conception (including some criteria, but still no examples). See my Critical Thinking (Prentice Hall, 1996) for a more thorough presentation of criteria and examples. I seek comments and suggestions regarding all three items.
Asian Philosophy And Critical Thinking: Divergence Or Convergence?
Are Asian philosophy and critical thinking necessary divergent or possibly Realism and Other Philosophical Mantras. Inquiry critical thinking Across
http://pioneer.chula.ac.th/~hsoraj/web/APPEND.html

Extractions: Chulalongkorn University It is widely recognized nowadays that critical thinking has become a necessary ingredient in all levels of education. Educators and educational policy makers agree that one of the desirable goals of education is that students are able to think critically. In Thailand, many have felt the need to inculcate critical thinking more seriously in educational curricula. Thais have gone so far as to include a clause in the newly promulgated Constitution that a bill on education be passed by Parliament. At the moment the act is being considered by various factors and agencies. The core of the proposed act is the idea that the students be able to think critically and independently. Although there are widespread disagreements on what critical thinking actually is, there is an agreement that it has become very important in the world deluged by huge amount of information (Hongladarom 1998b). Is critical thinking really culture specific? Can the traditional belief systems of Asia respond to the challenge of the modern world while still retaining their distinctive identities? Are Asian philosophy and critical thinking necessary divergent or possibly convergent? These are very significant question not just for Asian cultures, but for understanding how cultures of the world respond to globalization. In addition the question also has a bearing on the problematic relation between critical thinking and the cultural milieux in which it happens to be embedded.

Extractions: Curriculum Project Contributed by: Ray Porter and Michael Connelly Selecting resources in Philosophy which specifically deal with critical thinkingis a very difficult task, not because there isn't much, but rather because the very activity of doing philosophy involves critical thinking on a wide variety of subjects. In order to organize the resources in an intelligible way, we have decided to group them under the general topic areas covered in the typical Introductory Philosophy class. Resources under Logic can be found in the Core resources section of the Critical Thinking Home page.

Extractions: Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth, and fairness. It entails the examination of those structures or elements of thought implicit in all reasoning: purpose, problem, or question-at-issue; assumptions; concepts; empirical grounding; reasoning leading to conclusions; implications and consequences; objections from alternative viewpoints; and frame of reference. Critical thinking - in being responsive to variable subject matter, issues, and purposes - is incorporated in a family of interwoven modes of thinking, among them: scientific thinking, mathematical thinking, historical thinking, anthropological thinking, economic thinking, moral thinking, and philosophical thinking.
