Activities That Improve Student Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is perhaps the most important skill we need. It is paramount not just for job success but also for making the best decisions in crucial life matters.

As an educator, you should explain to your students that almost all our mistakes can be attributed to a lack of critical thinking. You can pick just about any big blunder you made in the past. You will invariably find that it transpired because of a failure to think critically.

Remember, the best thing you can do as a teacher is to inculcate a strong sense of critical thinking in your students.

Here are the activities that will help students to develop critical thinking.

Discuss Cognitive Biases

There are myriad cognitive biases.

The fact of the matter is we succumb to these biases at some point in our lives. Hence, it pays to study these biases.

You can pick those biases you think are the most detrimental and insidious. You should then explain them to your students to learn to identify and avoid these biases.

Perhaps the most dangerous bias by far is the Optimism bias. It may sound rather innocuous because of the word ‘optimism’. However, it is far more sinister in reality.

Optimism bias tends to think that bad things won't happen to us - they will happen to others only. For example, many think they won't suffer a fatal car crash. Hence, some get involved in overspeeding and texting while driving despite knowing their perils. No wonder these two reckless acts are the main reasons for fatal car crashes.

Writing About Biases

After elucidating various biases and providing simple examples to help them grasp these concepts, you can instruct your students to write about adverse events in their lives when they succumbed to these biases.

What did you learn? What were the consequences? These are further questions you can ask.

Talking about one’s mistakes is never easy. It is hard to concede that we are wrong at times. However, if we want to become better human beings and find success, we must learn from our mistakes. But the first step entails admitting one’s mistakes.

This will also instill humility and reduce overconfidence.

Avoiding Biases – The Easy Way 

All biases and ensuring blunders are avoidable with one simple trick.

It just takes one word to get smarter – “why”. That is, you should question everything. As simple as that.

In particular, you should question all that you do and think.

Write it down first whenever you are about to take action or form an opinion about something. Then in front of it, just write “why?” You can then brainstorm and write for and against the idea in logical points.

If you make this a regular habit, you will avoid many mistakes and regrets. You will also maximize positive returns from your decisions.

Explain It to a 6-Year Old

This is something that can greatly benefit students in their academic endeavors.

We are inclined to think that we understand what has been just said. But just nodding along is not enough. You should be able to explain it to others.

The good news is that this goes far beyond altruism. In truth, it is self-empowerment. When you explain an abstruse concept to others, you bolster your own understanding of the same. Reiterating something embeds it more deeply into your long-term memory.

The social factor may also be beneficial and fruitful.

Do Your Research

Teach students to challenge common perceptions and conventional wisdom.

Explain carefully that this entails walking a fine line. You don't want to be dismissive, nor do you want to be naive. Instead, you should have an open mind and a willingness to do your research carefully.

Inform students about consulting reliable online sources. Explain that it is best to consider multiple authentic sources. Don't be satisfied with just the first entry in Google search results.

Here's how you can instill the importance of research in your students.

Instruct your students to research air pollution in the US. Those who do their research more meticulously will find that indoor air pollution is far deadlier than outdoor air pollution.

Tell them that they found out this key health fact courtesy of research. You can further instruct them to find ways of mitigating these risks.

Motivate your students to do research by telling them that they will be pleasantly surprised at the wealth of knowledge that they can uncover via dedicated research.

Beware of Disinformation

Disinformation is ubiquitous these days. It has become a weapon of choice for bad actors ranging from rogue states to unscrupulous individuals.

Critical thinking can help dispel misinformation and prevent you from becoming its victim.

You should help kids to detect and deal with weapons of mass distraction.

There was a time when fake news was disseminated largely via social media.

It is being spread by state-sponsored groups masquerading as legitimate media outlets on the internet. The scope and scale of these fake news campaigns are staggering to say the least.

One such fake news campaign involved no less than 750 fake sites posing as media outlets. Disinformation from this notorious racket reached millions around the globe and even found its way to UN and European Parliament meetings.

You can instruct kids in your class to do a project on internet disinformation, complete with case studies. You should also tell them to write about all possible ways to spot fakes and scams.

Bottom Line

Shown above are the activities to develop critical thinking in students.

You might agree that cultivating this key ability in your students is one of the best things you did for them.

Table of Contents

Critical thinking is making decisions about what to believe or do , which is reasonable and introspective. It is founded on fundamental intellectual principles, including relevance, soundness, accuracy, precision, consistency, depth, breadth, and justice.

See the fact file below for more information on Critical Thinking , or you can download our 28-page Critical Thinking worksheet pack to utilize within the classroom or home environment.

Key Facts & Information

Activities requiring critical thinking.

  • Assessing Online Media and Historical Sources. It is the practice of questioning the truthfulness of media to identify disinformation and misinformation.
  • Business Process Improvement. It is a practice in which leaders examine their business processes to find opportunities to increase accuracy, effectiveness, and efficiency. 
  • Strategic Planning. It is a process where leaders develop their future vision and set their organization’s goals and objectives.
  • Root Cause Analysis. It is the process of identifying the underlying causes of issues to find suitable solutions.
  • Performance Management. It is the ongoing process of enhancing performance through setting individual and team goals that are in line with the organizational strategy.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A CRITICAL THINKER

  • Curious. One of the most important aspects of critical thinking is curiosity. According to research, our desire for knowledge propels us to constantly seek out new information. This curiosity fosters critical thinking since, in order to make wise decisions, we must constantly increase our knowledge.
  • Analytical . Analytical skills are necessary since research is a key element of critical thinking. Analytical thinking entails distilling complicated concepts into their most basic components.
  • Introspective. Critical thinking requires introspection since it makes us more self-aware. Self-awareness pushes us to confront our own prejudices, biases, and selfish impulses. If we know our assumptions, we can question them and suspend judgment until we have all the facts.
  • Making Inferences. It is making logical conclusions based on an examination of the facts, events, and ideas available. You can find relationships and base your decisions on what is likely to happen by analyzing the information that is available and noticing patterns and trends.
  • Observant. Using all five senses, observation is more than just looking; it also entails synthesizing, organizing, and categorizing data to create insight. Sharp observers pick up on the smallest detail and detect subtle changes in their surroundings.
  • Open-minded and Compassionate. Being open-minded entails giving other concepts and viewpoints a chance, even when they disagree with your own. This enables you to consider several perspectives on a subject without instinctively rejecting them. Likewise, even when they disagree, compassionate people can understand others. Finding common ground and understanding is possible when you comprehend the views of another individual.

LOGIC: CRITICAL THINKING

  • Logic is the study of inference, reasoning, and proof. Using logic, we can assess a line of reasoning or a thought to see if it is sound or not.
  • Propositions , often known as statements, serve as the foundation of a logical argument. A proposition is a statement that can either be true or false.
  • An argument is a connected set of statements that together form a logical, coherent, and defined proposition.
  • The premise identifies the reasons or pieces of evidence that support your claim. At this point, we create a new assertion based on one or more accepted statements of fact, which is the inference . Lastly, a statement that wraps up an argument is its conclusion . The validity of the premises statement and the inference statement confirm the validity or truth of the argument.

EXAMPLES OF A LOGICAL THOUGHT

  • Statement: Individuals under 18 years of age are not eligible to vote. Ryan cannot vote because he’s just 15 years old.
  • Premise 1: Individuals under 18 cannot vote.
  • Premise 2: Ryan is 15 years old.
  • Conclusion: Ryan is not eligible to vote.

CRITICAL THINKING BARRIERS

Egocentric thinking.

  • A natural tendency of people is to see everything in terms of oneself, which is known as egocentric thinking – “ego” meaning self, and “centric” meaning at the center. This way of thinking makes it difficult to understand other people’s viewpoints or examine and weigh other points of view.
  • This can produce poor decision-making behaviors. In order to break the cycle, people must take a position against the group and contest prevailing ideas.

DRONE MENTALITY

  • This refers to a lack of awareness of your immediate surroundings. Daily routines can prevent or contribute to the loss of critical thinking skills and frequently result in a drone mindset. 

SOCIAL CONDITIONING

  • Unwanted preconceptions and stereotypes bring it on. It does this by obstructing our ability to see that we are even developing assumptions and imposing stereotypes.

BIASED THINKING

  • Personal biases can make it difficult to think critically because they make it difficult to be impartial, curious, and open-minded.

SCHEDULE PRESSURES

  • Integrating learning opportunities that encourage critical thinking skills is sometimes hampered by time restraints.

ARROGANCE AND INTOLERANCE

  • With a narrow perspective, it is quite difficult to come up with the appropriate solution to a problem. People who lack critical thinking abilities frequently respond to situations carelessly and foolishly.

ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS

  • The process of locating the underlying causes of problems in order to choose the best solutions is known as root cause analysis (RCA). RCA bases its premise on the idea that systematic prevention and root-cause analysis yield superior results than spot-treating symptoms and “putting out fires”.
  • Benefits and Goals. Finding the underlying cause of a problem or incident is the first objective of root cause analysis. The second objective is to completely comprehend how to address, make up for, or take advantage of any underlying problems inside the root cause. The final objective is to use the knowledge gained from this research to duplicate or systematically prevent past problems.

BASIC TYPES OF CAUSES

  • Physical Causes. These are tangible, material things that failed in some way, like a machine failing to function as expected.
  • People Causes. People either made a mistake or failed to take the necessary action. Usually, physical causes result from human causes (for example, no one filled the machine with engine oil, which led to its malfunction).
  • Organizational Causes. A broken system, procedure, or policy affects how people make decisions or carry out their daily tasks (for example, no one person was responsible for machine maintenance, and everyone assumed someone else had filled the engine oil).

ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS PROCESS

  • Step 1: Define The Problem. Define the issue you are dealing with, then collect the information and proof you need to understand the situation at hand. Make a problem statement that includes details about the issue, such as the impact that the issue has already had or could have, its focal point, etc.
  • Step 2: Data Collection. The collection of key information about an incident or a problematic event is a critical step in root cause analysis. You can find the answers to questions like “What are the contributing factors?” by recording all the details and characteristics of the incident. Also ask questions like “When did the issue start?” “Is it a recurring occurrence?” “What effect has been noticed?” etc.
  • Step 3: Determine Potential Causal Factors. Find as many causal factors as you can at this point. It’s all too common for people to name one or two variables before stopping, but that’s often insufficient. When using RCA, you should look beyond the visible reasons and treat the underlying issues as well.
  • Step 4: Identify the Root Cause. You can pinpoint as many causes as you can. Use the methods like the 5 Whys, Fishbone analysis, or a Pareto chart to focus in on the main contributing elements and any potential underlying causes of the problem.
  • Step 5: Recommend and Implement Solutions. Analyze your cause-and-effect connection and determine which systems require adjustments. Planning ahead will help you anticipate the outcomes of your solution. In this manner, possible faults can be identified before they occur.

Ultimate Critical Thinking Cheat Sheet

18 thoughts on “ Ultimate Critical Thinking Cheat Sheet ”

Can I use this for company training? Is there a purchase/copyright.

Hi, Dale: You will need to contact the Global Digital Citizen Foundation to request permission to use this resource.

#hi, where can i get a chart?

Hi, Alma! The good folks at the Global Digital Citizen Foundation can help you here: https://globaldigitalcitizen.org/critical-thinking-skills-cheatsheet-infographic

Where is the actual critical aspect of the “thinking”? I would want to see, “What are the premises of the argument? Are they actually true? What evidence supports it and contradicts it? What other explanations might cause that result? What would be the result of the intervention? Does the proposed intervention actually address the problem identified? Is the problem identified the right problem?”

Thank you, PaulR! The fact that these basic rhetorical questions are missing from this infographic illustrates what is wrong with our current methods of “debate” on issues from climate change to healthcare.

Great post. Thanks

Excellent. Useful for the classroom.

Go to the previous page where you saw this graphic. There is a link above it that will allow you to download it.

I want to purchase

I’m interested in a copy too.

I’d like to get one too. How can one be purchased? Thank you

Is this a poster that can be purchased? How can I get a copy?

What Are Rebus Puzzles?

Helpful rebus puzzle-solving strategies, how to use rebus puzzles in the classroom.

Two printable sheets of rebus puzzles on green background.

A rebus puzzle is a visual riddle that cleverly uses pictures and words to convey a word, phrase, or saying. It’s a fun challenge that prompts students to flex their problem-solving muscles by deciphering the hidden meaning behind image and word combinations.

Here’s an example: picture the word ‘head’ surrounded by several clouds. The clever placement of the word ‘head’ and the clear imagery tell a lot.

One printable sheet of rebus puzzles on green background.

Mastering rebus puzzles becomes a breeze when you follow a few solving guidelines. Share these with your students:

Start with the Visual

Closely examine the images or symbols within the puzzle. These visual cues often hold the key to unraveling the riddle. The fundamental question to ask is, “What do these images represent?” This approach cultivates a critical-thinking mindset right from the beginning.

Break It Down

Suggest taking on each element of the riddle individually before putting the pieces together to form a coherent answer.

Context Matters

Consider the context of the rebus puzzle. Encourage students to think about where the words and images might fit within a sentence or story. Emphasize the importance of looking beyond individual elements to grasp the overall context.

Locate the Prepositions

Discover the subtle hints embedded in rebus puzzles by focusing on prepositions. These little words, guiding us in spatial relationships, play a vital role in deciphering the puzzle’s meaning. Keep a keen eye on how words, numbers, or images are positioned within the rebus.

Two varied printable rebus puzzles on green background.

Rebus puzzles aren’t just brain teasers – they’re powerful teaching tools that can transform the classroom experience.  After guiding students through strategies to solve rebus puzzles, check out these ways you can use rebus puzzles in the classroom.

Build vocabulary

Introduce a new rebus puzzle daily for one month and have students document it in their notebooks. Alongside solving the daily picture puzzle, encourage them to write a short explanation of the word or phrase. Take it a step further and have students write a story using the answer to their rebus puzzle or have them do some research on the phrase to learn what it means, where it comes from, and how it can be used. This process reinforces the vocabulary in multiple ways, from visual recognition to contextual understanding.

Explore the parts of speech

These versatile riddles range from full sentences to phrases and single-word rebuses, providing a dynamic way for kids to explore the parts of speech . As students decode each riddle, encourage them to simultaneously identify the parts of speech involved in the answer.

Rebus puzzles aren’t just fun; they’re a gentle nudge to the brain that wakes students up and prepares them for the day.  These puzzles spark creativity, encourage smart thinking, and set the stage for a lesson filled with enjoyment and open-minded exploration.

Explore math with a playful twist

Rebus puzzles sometimes feature common and not-so-common math symbols, equations, number patterns, and word problems. Whether it’s symbols for greater than or less than , pi, measurement, or even square root, rebus puzzles aren’t just about problem-solving; they’re about transforming the often stressful nature of math into an opportunity for curious exploration and fun.

Study cultural subjects

In the classroom, rebus puzzles serve as exciting tools that seamlessly blend visual elements and words to depict historical events, famous landmarks, or natural wonders. Deciphering a rebus representing the Eiffel Tower, Mount Rushmore, or Taiwan adds an interactive twist to cultural studies.

Engage in healthy classroom competition

Transform those extra minutes before recess into challenges by organizing rebus puzzle competitions. Split the class into teams and present them with a mix of easy and challenging puzzles. The team that successfully solves the most puzzles within a set time frame earns recognition. 

Write positive secret messages

You can brighten a child’s day by creating positive secret messages through rebus puzzles. These puzzles offer a playful and creative platform to convey uplifting compliments or positive affirmations to kids . Imagine the joy on their faces when they uncover a hidden message designed for them – it not only brings a smile but also instills a sense of pride and happiness. 

Give a rebus puzzle card as a reward

Make task completion even more rewarding by offering rebus puzzle cards as classroom rewards . This approach not only motivates kids to accomplish their goals or assignments but also infuses an element of fun into the process.

Learn about idioms

Rebus puzzles cleverly show common idioms, turning language lessons into exciting challenges. Students learn idioms and gain a deeper appreciation for figurative language in a way that sparks their curiosity.

Learn about compound words.

Rebus puzzles often put words together, making it a fun way for kids to learn about compound words . Picture puzzles teach students how words blend and make learning about language easier to grasp by making it exciting as words come alive through pictures.

Share the fun with families

Take the excitement of rebus puzzles out of the classroom and send that fun home so students can take their family game nights up a notch. This educational activity not only sparks joy but also fosters collaboration and critical thinking.
