Testing something that has been reported broken in an article.<br />2. Debating an article.<br />3. Look for the biased terms with an article (particularly the news).<br />4. Look for what questions the reporter didn't ask.<br />5. Look at graphs that mis-represent the data or give a false impression.<br />6. Research the topic, particularly if it is outside your domain of knowledge. In fact, click on articles you ARE NOT interested in.<br />7. Debate an article's point of view with a coworker. Learn from their point of view what questions you might ask to improve yourself.<br /><br />BONUS: Read comments and see what others caught that you missed after examining an article. I recommend slashdot for that as I think they tend to have better moderation than most.JCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10303319920589197377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147218231135584040.post-74061293163543550662013-09-04T11:11:37.434-06:002013-09-04T11:11:37.434-06:00At CAST I asked about how to practice critical thi...At CAST I asked about how to practice critical thinking skills and one suggestion was to read an article and look for the bias.<br />I think this post is a great example of what I could be doing to practice - find an article and take it apart and think about how you would approach it. Thanks for a great examplePhil Kirkhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008391232663423821noreply@blogger.com
