Teaching Critical Thinking: Practical Wisdom

Purchase options and add-ons.

In Teaching Critical Thinking , renowned cultural critic and progressive educator bell hooks addresses some of the most compelling issues facing teachers in and out of the classroom today.

In a series of short, accessible, and enlightening essays, hooks explores the confounding and sometimes controversial topics that teachers and students have urged her to address since the publication of the previous best-selling volumes in her Teaching series, Teaching to Transgress and Teaching Community. The issues are varied and broad, from whether meaningful teaching can take place in a large classroom setting to confronting issues of self-esteem. One professor, for example, asked how black female professors can maintain positive authority in a classroom without being seen through the lens of negative racist, sexist stereotypes. One teacher asked how to handle tears in the classroom, while another wanted to know how to use humor as a tool for learning.

Addressing questions of race, gender, and class in this work, hooks discusses the complex balance that allows us to teach, value, and learn from works written by racist and sexist authors. Highlighting the importance of reading, she insists on the primacy of free speech, a democratic education of literacy. Throughout these essays, she celebrates the transformative power of critical thinking. This is provocative, powerful, and joyful intellectual work. It is a must read for anyone who is at all interested in education today.

Editorial Reviews

"Positing education as the practice of freedom to balance against (or as an antidote to) the notion of education as credential-collecting, Teaching Critical Thinking: Practical Wisdom seeks to help engaged educators navigate the contradictions and challenges of the academy so as to fulfill our mandate to be of compassionate service to students―as whole people, not simply as someone's future employees." – Rain Taxi

(Review of bell hooks') Teaching critical thinking: Practical wisdom (Education Review, 2011)

Journal of Curriculum Studies

It is widely held that, by teaching individuals how to reason through and analyse everyday problems, the teaching of critical thinking develops the deliberative capacities essential to the healthy functioning of democracy. Implicit in this view is the assumption that a certain commensurability exists between the problems presented in such curricula and those that occupy democratic deliberation. In examining one influential critical thinking curriculum, University of Cambridge International Examination’s Thinking Skills, however, this article reveals the contingency of the assumption. With its presentation of problems steeped in discourses of logic and argument analysis, and with little consideration of notions of rightness/wrongness, such a curriculum can only tend towards the development of an instrumental form of rationality that, being morally indifferent and emotionally apathetic, contributes instead to the depoliticization of democracy. Given that the nature of democratic deliberation does not only focus on what is correct, but, more crucially, on what is right, it is argued that the problems on critical thinking curricula need to both engage individuals in deliberations over issues of social good, and allow them to think of themselves in ways that fundamentally tie them to other members of society.

Educators in Philadelphia seek ways to offer a quality twoway immersion program despite the restrictive context of No Child Left Behind. A mainstream science teacher and an English as an additional language (EAL) teacher in the United Kingdom struggle to collaborate to implement" personalized learning" policy.

Handbook of Child Development and Early Education: Research to Practice fills the void for a compilation of empirically validated early learning classroom practices which take into account the individual needs of developing children. The scholarly collection is contained within 624 pages and twenty-six chapters. The chapters are grouped into six distinct but interrelated parts: (i) Development and Early Education, (ii) Brain Functioning and Learning, (iii) Social and Emotional Development, (iv) Language and Literacy, (v) Mathematics and Science and (vi) a concluding chapter. Although the chapters are interrelated, each one is self-contained with its own theoretical framework for understanding early learning and development from a socio-cognitive perspective.

This is a book review of Virginia LoCastro’s book "Pragmatics for Language Educators: A Sociolinguistic Perspective". The book is one of 40 titles in the ESL & Applied Linguistics Professional Series published by Routledge. Her sociolinguistic perspective is not entirely new in language education.She highlights how social context and social interactions at home, school, and the community are instrumental in the development of language and literacy skills in children (Peregoy & Boyle 2001; Wells 2009; and Cook & Cook 2009). However, the term pragmatics has been largely left out of the discourse in the training of elementary pre-service teachers. This omission is what makes LoCastro’s book a valuable contribution to the education of teachers about language and literacy development

World (Alvermann, 2002). My interest was personal too, since I had declined her invitation to contribute to this book for the usual reason–too inundated with other projects–in almost gleeful practice of my new-found ability to say “no” to colleagues who want to create more work for me.
