How do critical thinkers solves the problems? Guess the steps they follow while tackling a problem.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Answer: The critical thinkers solve the problems step by step.<\/p>\n Some steps are overview, goal, objectives, standard connection and strategy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n (A) Find the words from the text that match with the following meanings:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n a. \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 walking by dragging one’s feet along or without lifting them fully from the ground <\/span><\/p>\n b. \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 drawing pictures or patterns while thinking about something else <\/span><\/p>\n c. \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 a piece of flat metal with writing on it <\/span><\/p>\n d. \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 a general rule intended to regulate behaviour or thought <\/span><\/p>\n e. \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 move or go in a furtive or stealthy way<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Answer <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n a.

By using convergent thinking, we apply logical steps to determine what the single best solution is.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n c. critical thinking <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Critical thinking<\/span><\/em>\u00a0is the intellectually disciplined process of actively.<\/span><\/p>\n It is\u00a0self-directed,\u00a0self-disciplined, self-monitored and self-corrective\u00a0thinking<\/span><\/p>\n It includes the\u00a0rational,\u00a0skeptical,\u00a0unbiased\u00a0analysis or evaluation of factual\u00a0evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n Critical thinking<\/span><\/em> needs effective communication and problem-solving abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n d. creative thinking<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Creative thinking involves thinking about an unusual topic.<\/span><\/p>\n It helps to consider things from a fresh perspective and different angles. <\/span><\/p>\n It is an inventive thought process that results in surprising conclusions.<\/span><\/p>\n Creative thinking skills generates ideas\u00a0problem solving, writing, visual art, communication skills and open-mindedness<\/span><\/p>\n A creative thinker tries to address an issue from a perspective that has not been used before.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n #####<\/span><\/p>\nUnit 1: Critical Thinking<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n
