SUMMARY:The Science of Assessing Critical Thinking
UID:20260613T035552Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-bd7db559-gt5qm

LOCATION:Old Arts Building\, University of Melbourne\, Melbourne\, Australia
DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Abstract<br></strong>We have been awarded a grant to study how the teaching of critical thinking can be improved using argument mapping techniques developed by Tim van Gelder and colleagues. This talk will consider how this is playing out\, and how we will evaluate the effectiveness of these techniques\, which prior studies have shown to have a significant impact on the retention of critical thinking not shown by traditional teaching methods. We will also consider the "cheap conditional" as a way to uncover unstated assumptions\, and whether or not there is a principled way to produce valuable conditionals that do actual explanatory work in an argument that has been stated in natural language.&nbsp\;</p>
