Labs  \nCritical Thinking Project 1-Measuring Critical Thinking  \n\"What is the effect of X on Y while controlling for Zs?\"  \nEXPERIMENTAL QUESTION: Today we want to know…  \nHow will MC QUESTION FORMAT (X1) and CRITICAL THINKING SKILL (X2) affect ACCURACY SCORE (Y1) and SKILL TIME (Y2)? These critical thinking skills are modelled after the Watson Glaser Critical Thinking Test. To CONTROL for PROGRESSIVE ERROR (Z1) we are going to use counterbalancing (ABCDEEDCBA) .  \nTo CONTROL for RANDOM ERROR (Z2) we are going to use averages (2 questions in each subskill, A to E) .  \nCritical Thinking Project 1 tasks have 12 questions that are presented in MC, RMC or TMC multiple choice question FORMATS. Your Lab instructor will tell you which DeckChair assignments to run, and in what order, SO PLEASE DON’T START. There are 5 DeckChair assignments that will be run in a specific order. You will see in DeckChair:  \nCTP-Critical Thinking Survey CTP1-MC Critical Thinking CTP1-RankMC Critical Thinking CTP1-TruthMC Critical Thinking CTP-WG Practice Test  \nIn all CTP1 tasks you are asked to answer 12 questions, and you get up to three attempts on each question.  \nEach of the 12 questions in this study start with a DEFINITION of the Critical Thinking Skill we are testing (e.g., Assumption, Interpretation, Strengthening, Weakening, Deduction, and Inference) . Then you will read a short statement of facts that must be regarded as true, THEN answer a multiple-choice question with five response options related to the statement. Analyze each response option separately and decide how you will respond.  \nYou will EVALUATE each response option and then SUBMIT YOUR ANSWER  \nCTP1-MC Critical Thinking – Pick the BEST answer (traditional multiple-choice among 5 options)  \nCTP1-RankMC Critical Thinking – Rank the answers from 1st to 5th (there are always five)  \nCTP1-TruthMC Critical Thinking – Rate each answer with the 5-point TRUTH scale pulldown menus  \n(Definitely True, Probably True, Not Sure, Probably False, Definitely False) .  \nEach question is timed from when you start reading the statement until you click the SUBMIT button.  \nRead and respond as fast as you can without making mistakes. Click SUBMIT as soon as you are finished.  \nCRITICAL THINKING SKILLS TERMINOLOGY:  \nASSUMPTION: An assumption is an idea that the author must believe to be true in order to draw a certain conclusion. Often, the author does not mention the assumption in their statement.  \nINTERPRETATION: An interpretation is a conclusion that logically follows from the information in the statement, usually requiring a precise understanding or application of the details.  \nARGUMENT-Strengthening: An argument is strengthened by additional evidence or information that would make the conclusion MORE likely to be true, by supporting or confirming the premises in the statement.  \nARGUMENT-Weakening: An argument is weakened by additional information (premises, claims, positions) that make the conclusion LESS likely to be true, by negating or disconfirming the premises in the statement.  \nDEDUCTION: A deduction is a conclusion that logically follows from the statement on the basis of the rules of logic. Sometimes, a deduction can be “valid” even if one or more of its premises are false.  \nINFERENCE: An inference is a conclusion drawn from the facts in the statement and/or commonly accepted knowledge that practically every person has.  \nTODAY we want to know how 6 TYPES of CRITICAL THINKING and 3 types of MC FORMAT will affect your ACCURACY. These critical thinking skills are modelled after the Watson Glaser Critical Thinking Test.  \nPROCEDURES (download the handouts and data workbook)  \n1) Download and open the workbook (CTP1-1111111111.xlsx) and copy the results including the TOPIC, AccuracyScore% and Skill Time from the top of the results pages for each of the Critical Thinking tasks you complete (based on what tasks the Instructor told you to run) .  \n2) Run the CTP-Critical Thinking","cbCain3BFk7u5IEh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain3BFk7u5IEh","pdf",1124301,"English","# Critical Thinking Project 1 - Measuring Critical Thinking\n## Experimental Question and Design\n## DeckChair Task Formats and Question Structure\n## Critical Thinking Skill Definitions\n## Procedures and Submission","[{\"question\":\"What effect do the project’s critical thinking skills have on outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"The project examines how critical thinking skill type (X2) and multiple-choice format (X1) affect accuracy score (Y1) and skill time (Y2).\"},{\"question\":\"How does the project control for progressive and random error?\",\"answer\":\"Progressive error is controlled using counterbalancing, and random error is controlled by using averages with multiple questions per subskill.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main steps participants must follow in the procedures?\",\"answer\":\"Download and open the workbook, run the survey and two selected experiments, collect accuracy score and skill time from results pages, compare subskill averages to Watson Glaser scores, then save the workbook with the student number and submit it to the instructor.\"}]","Critical Thinking Project 1 - Measuring Critical Thinking | PDF"]
