7 VALUES PERSPECTIVE National, institutional and personal/professional

8 Critical and Analytical Thinking
adopt a sceptical attitude. There might be a number of reasons to accept simply what is written; we do not expect to be deceived, or feel unable to question a more knowledgeable person's point of view.

9 Being Critical being critical is not about being negative or derogatory. It is about looking at the positive and negative aspects, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the argument in order to provide an objective account of the situation.

10 Being Critical Don't take anything for granted - including your own beliefs and expectations; critical thinking is needed in all areas of study.

11 A Checklist for being critical
Who is the author? What is the source? Is the source credible? What is the main idea or general message? What specifically am I asked to believe/accept? What specific evidence does the author cite in support of his/her position? Is this evidence valid and convincing? Are there any alternative explanations based upon the evidence available? What are the main ideas that I have learned from this book/article?

12 Plenary Challenges? Where next?
