The essence of critical thinking is logic, and logical evaluation — by using reality checks and quality checks — is the essence of Scientific Method and Design Method. On the other end of the logic spectum, we see a variety of Logical Fallacies that include circular reasoning and strawman arguments.
This section features three excellent websites that will help you learn the fundamentals of good logic and bad logic. { These sites were developed for college students and teachers, but with suitable adjustments they are also useful for K-12 because logic is logic, for the young and old. But in the future, we'll be looking for websites that are specifically designed for younger students, that introduce logical principles in a way that is simple and fun. }
• Critical Thinking Web offers tutorials about Logic, Fallacy, Argument Analysis, Venn Diagrams, Scientific Reasoning, and much more. You can begin exploring with their sitemap. It's run by Joe Lau & Jonathan Chan from the University of Hong Kong & Hong Kong Baptist University.
• Mission: Critical (from San Jose State University in California's Silicon Valley) has a well organized Main Menu with information and activities in three areas — The Basics, Analysis of Arguments, Fallacies and Non-Rational Persuasion — and you can explore their Home Page.
• Critical Thinking Across the Curriculum (from Longview Community College in Kansas City) aims for "an application of logical concepts to the analysis of everyday reasoning and problem-solving."
The main content is in six pages: Critical Thinking Core Concepts (supplemented by Truth Tables), Informal Fallacies (which are interesting because they make a direct connection with everyday experience); Facts, Opinions and Reasoned Judgements; Statistical Arguments; Charts & Graphs and Visual Trickery.
You can also explore other pages, starting with the Home Page and moving on to the Table of Contents which provides an overview of topics in the six main pages and also has links to other pages about teaching, software, and deduction, plus resources for critical thinking in specific disciplines (psychology, philosophy, law, political science, english, music, math, automotive, office systems, nursing, writing, and reading), and more.
