Examples

We find examples of critical thinking throughout the development of mankind, when the most important laws of physics, mathematics and other sciences were discovered. All discoveries are examples of asking the right questions, searching for meaning and patterns.

An example of the development of this thinking in elementary school is a teacher’s question about some phenomenon: “Children, where do you think it is better to learn swimming: at sea or on the river?” Thinking students will express an opinion and begin to come up with arguments. And if the teacher really wants to teach, he will first conduct an experiment and then ask the question again.

Well, this is such a primitive example, but it shows how to develop a child in the educational process. By the way, Newton, Einstein, and ancient Greek philosophers had the ability to think critically. It is thanks to them, in particular Hippocrates, that we still use the principles of dividing personality into types and treating diseases.

Vikium. Critical thinking

Description. A person with critical thinking tends to have an independent opinion, and this is alarming to some. After all, it is impossible to manipulate such a person and force him to do what is needed. However, now this is especially appreciated, because it is independent people who achieve success in life. Therefore, you definitely need to take a course on critical thinking from the Vikium school.

Of course, critical thinking helps not only in protecting against manipulation, but in general in many areas of life, even in small things. For example, many have encountered a problem when a new thing after purchase no longer seems cool, and you begin to suspect that the seller simply put pressure on you. So, to avoid unnecessary expenses, you also need to think critically.

After completing this course you will learn:

do not give in to the opinions of others, the media, advertising, etc.;
analyze completed actions without any emotions;
achieve goals set independently and not by someone else;
properly plan work and personal life, correctly allocate resources to perform different tasks.

The course program is designed so that you can learn as much useful information as possible and gain new skills.

Watch the webinar, learn the theory on a new topic, and ask the teacher questions.
You receive homework and complete it yourself (each task is a technique for developing critical thinking).
Use simulators to consolidate and improve acquired critical thinking skills.
You return to your supervisor and discuss with him the moments that seemed the most difficult.
Analyze the learning process in your workbook and describe your current successes.

This approach, with the consolidation of a combination of theory and practice, allows us to achieve maximum learning efficiency. It is worth noting that after completing the courses you will have two simulators in your hands, which you can use in the future to develop your skills.

What it is?

The deductive method of thinking means a method of drawing conclusions using logic from the general to the specific. Its advantage is that it allows you to give more accurate answers to questions. Thanks to this type of thinking, the output a person receives is a private conclusion that he was able to produce based on more general information.

Important! The basis for correct conclusions is the collection of accurate facts that are not subject to dispute.

Fans of literary works and detective films know a lot about this method of thinking. A hero who possesses it perfectly can unravel even the most mysterious and unusual crime.

He does not stop his attention on the most striking things.
The deductive method of thinking requires the study of all, even the smallest, details. They, like parts of one large structure, must be separated from the general situation.
Then, through logical thinking, obtain a conclusion. It is not necessary to use deduction only within the framework of a detective theme. Every day a person is faced with the need to think through his actions in advance. Deductive thinking allows you to easily cope with this task.

How is it different from induction?

The main difference between them is the direction in which the thought process moves. With induction it is the opposite. The basis for future inferences are particular facts or data, based on which a person draws general conclusions. The problem is that thinking exclusively inductively is not entirely correct, since logical errors often arise.

The absence of an overall picture does not give the conclusion the right to objectivity. It was inductive thinking that caused the emergence of various stereotypes.

For example, the eternal conflict of generations. How many times have you heard older people dissatisfied with young people? And what is its reason? Grandmothers are sitting on a bench at the entrance. A group of young boys and girls walks by. One of them has a tattoo on his arm that hides a scar from a dog bite, the other doesn’t like bright colors and is dressed all in black. And so on…

The appearance of each of the guys is a private fact. Based on them, grandmothers instantly give a general conclusion - in front of them is a group of disadvantaged guys, possibly gang members, which means that all today's youth are engaged in all sorts of illegal activities. And they have no doubts that they are right.

Attention! Deduction starts from a true fact, so it is more effective in establishing the correct conclusion.

However, dividing into black and white has never brought much benefit. That is why the interaction of deduction and induction should not be excluded.

Vikium. A course to develop creative thinking

Description. Many people believe that the path to creative professions or hobbies is forbidden for them, because nature has not endowed them with a special gift. But does everything really depend on nature? In fact, every person has creative thinking, it’s just that not everyone is engaged in its development. If you've never done this, a new course from Vikium will help you.

During the training, each student will be able to:

develop your imagination and imagine things you haven’t even thought about before;
develop attention and see something unusual and beautiful in simple and everyday things;
expand your thinking and learn to look for non-standard approaches to solving common problems;
purposefully, and not accidentally, come up with new ideas and implement them;
understand how to trigger the impulse of creativity within yourself and create without stopping until you yourself want to rest.

The course was created by Sofya Kosyak, a mathematician, psychologist and development coach. She suggests studying and trying popular techniques that promote the formation of a creative way of thinking in every person. The result will depend only on your attention and efforts during training.

The course includes 16 online lessons. They are filled with theory, but only important ones. The teacher tells you everything in essence, and at the end gives you an assignment. The student must complete it independently and then demonstrate the results.

Cost: full price - 2,490 rubles, there is currently a discount, so the payment has been reduced to 990 rubles.

Definition

To dive into psychological concepts, you need to describe in simple words what kind of thinking it is and why it is so valuable, its characteristics.

Critical thinking is a person's ability to check statements that come to him. Having such a mindset, a person questions incoming information. This encourages her to find sources of confirmation, check, ask questions, analyze, compare with what is already known. Having walked this path, a person is truly happy and appreciates the new information received.

This type of thinking is established in preschoolers, when the child constantly asks questions. My eldest daughter and I were literally angry from the endless “Why?” "For what?" And How?"! But then I prepared myself for the fact that this period would someday pass, and tried to answer sometimes with statements, sometimes with counter questions.

Children who are always asking questions can sometimes be very inconvenient for adults. They ask “unnecessary” questions and interfere in the conversation. We are accustomed to the fact that a child must remain silent, listen silently to adults, and behave like a mouse at school. But how then will he learn to think critically?

Advance. Effective Reading

Description. Reading is the main tool for improving thinking, mastering new knowledge and skills. But what to do if it takes a lot of time to read one book, and half of the information immediately flies out of your head? In this case, a new online course from the Advance school “Effective Reading” will help you.

After completing the course, your vocabulary will become significantly wider. This means that you can establish constructive dialogues with people on a variety of topics. Successful communication is the key to success in your career and personal life.

read aloud with perfect diction - anyone can easily understand you.

This program is based on seven unique speed reading techniques. And the main thing is that they are focused not only on the speed of reading books and useful articles, but also on broadening your horizons, concentrating your attention, improving your speech, enriching your vocabulary, etc. When your attention is completely focused on reading, you will begin to better assimilate any material. Consequently, its further application in practice will not be difficult.

The program includes 16 lessons and takes 1 month (if you watch one lesson in two days). The duration of each lesson is 80-120 minutes. They contain maximum useful information.

Visual-effective thinking

This type of thought process is a product of the left hemisphere and consists of creating a copy of an existing object or object in the mind and identifying its properties and possible benefits, first in one’s imagination for subsequent application in reality. For simplicity, you can imagine a small child who, looking at an object and touching it, imagines where it will fit, whether it is edible or not, whether it can be thrown or hit with it. Adults also use this technique, going over in their heads the possible useful properties of an object, they imagine it in action and make a preliminary conclusion about its suitability for such use. This is clearly expressed when an adult is looking for something to replace a missing part or what to make it from.

This process is trained in all games where various combinations of moves are calculated, for example in chess or checkers, but there are also specially designed exercises:

Determining the characteristics of an object - choose one of the objects lying in your room and try to imagine its weight. After that, check how it feels by picking it up and determine whether it’s how you imagined it. Also mentally determine its area and try to figure out the relationship with the area of your room. How many of these items will fit in one layer, but what about the volume? If you filled the whole room with such objects, how many would there be?
Puzzles – both physical and virtual puzzles help develop visual and effective thinking. They force you to first perform actions several steps forward in your imagination, and then check the results in practice.
A construction set is not only a desirable toy for children, but also a great way to come up with many different shapes and try to assemble them. This is a great workout for your brain, and the more details in the constructor, the better.
Modeling figures , like a construction set, helps bring to life an object you previously conceived and try to make it exactly the way you imagined it. If you have the desire and time for such an activity, be sure to try it.

Advance. Technologies for training and working with information

Description. Many people cannot concentrate while learning or learning information, which is why new material is not absorbed well enough. You have to re-read one page over and over again. As a result, too much time is spent training or becoming familiar with the data. And if you don’t want to put up with this, then you need to delve into the technologies of learning and working with information.

With this course you will receive:

the ability to create and virtualize special mind maps;
all the necessary knowledge with which you will learn to set goals in any area of life;
methods for quickly processing large amounts of information.

The program includes training in techniques that Nikolai Yagodkin uses in his professional activities. In practice, he proved that with the help of these methods you can completely study the school curriculum in 3-6 months, and the university curriculum in 1 year!

The main feature of the training is that the course is focused not on theory, but on practical exercises. Students spend half of their study time studying various materials and honing their skills in quickly processing large amounts of information.

Training takes place according to the following plan.

Working with text: highlighting semantic units, creating mind maps (on articles).
Memorizing created mind maps.
Recoding and memorizing definitions, theorems, facts, etc.
Creation of the initial structure of textbooks and books.
Base: working through the textbook, highlighting the main semantic units and memorizing them.
Second pass: creating detailed mind maps for all the material.
Exams, tests, interviews - specifics and features of preparation.
Writing books, diplomas, articles, speeches.

The duration of the course is two days. These two days include 16 hours of intensive work. Immediately after this, you will be able to put the acquired skills into practice. Your life will never be the same again!

Practical steps

Effective thinking must lead to consistent practical steps. I suggest you the following algorithm: write down 5 material goals, then determine their cost separately and display the total amount. Then figure out how many years you would like to achieve your last goal and how many months it will be. We divide the total amount of all goals by the number of months and get the average investment amount. To the resulting amount we add the average current living costs and get what our income should be. All this allows us to get a financial plan for our lives in a simplified form. Understanding how much we need to earn to achieve our goals is a top priority. Next, we need to look for ways to increase income and pay attention to areas that can strategically help us achieve the desired income.

Do you see the difference? In most cases, a person thinks like this: “I get paid this much per month at work. So, I can afford this and that... I would also like to have this and that, but, apparently, it’s not fate...” But such thoughts are at best. And at worst, “no luck” is replaced by a purchase on credit. Effective thinking implies something completely different: I want - I form a goal - I do everything possible to provide the income required to achieve the goal.

RESPONSIBILITY

Let's say you want to buy an apartment for $100,000. Then you begin to analyze how much you earn now, what the material base is for this. And if it turns out that such a dream is unattainable, then you need to change: your occupation, social circle, area of interest, region, city, country... In a word, you need to act. This means taking responsibility for your life into your own hands.

"ROCKING CHAIR"

To develop some quality, in our case, effective thinking, you need to maximally load the “muscles” that provide it. Training should begin with relatively small and short-term (but very desirable) goals that will not require you to immediately increase your income. You set a goal - you strained yourself, achieved it, celebrated, took a little breath - and you can “add weight” again.

"LIVING"

You should start living in other, more “expensive” categories. Mentally let into your life those objects and things that you couldn’t even think about before, let them appear in your life as something ordinary and taken for granted. Start going to expensive boutiques, car dealerships, etc., imagine yourself as a client of these stores. Take the largest bill you have, put it in your wallet, and every time you go into a store, realize that you can buy goods here. In short, start expanding your money space.

Habits

It is very important to develop useful habits: regularly saving money, planning income and expenses, investing in your education.
