SIX STEPS OF CRITICAL THINKING
ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE OR INFORMATION COMPREHENDING OR UNDERSTANDING WHAT U READ
AND HEAR APPLYING WHAT U UNDERSTAND TO GIVEN SITUATIONS ANALYZING THE INFORMATION THAT U UNDERSTAND SYNTHESIZING AND CREATIVELY USING WHAT YOU
UNDERSTAND AND HAVE ANALYZED CRITICALLY EVALUATING WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND
HAVE ANALYZED OR CREATED
STEP ONE: KNOWLEDGE
Acquiring facts and critical information Like specific data, methods, patterns, or ideas Be able to learn, recall, repeat or reproduce that
material Knowledge is what is said, written, heard and seen The bigger our base of information the better we
function in society
STEP ONE: KNOWLEDGE (cont)
Be able to identify what is being said: the topic, the issue, the basis, and the main points.
STEP TWO: COMPREHENSION
Understanding the material read, heard or seen
Relating it to what u already know Put it into your own words Able to make the material you learn as your
own

STEP SIX: EVALUATION
Once we have understood and analyzed what is said or written and the reasons offered to support it, we can proceed more effectively to evaluate the strength of the position
We evaluate to decide whether we should hold or drop the belief from the other 5 steps and should we take action or refrain from it
