Critical understanding : ウィキペディア英語版 | Critical understanding
Critical understanding is a term used commonly in education to define a mode of thinking, described as, ‘an essential tool for participating in democratic processes, at whatever level.’〔Dodds, H. (2009). Addressing the ‘why’ in English Teaching Online, Summer (1)〕 It is a defensible position reached through the examination of ideas, issues or sources. It is achieved through reflecting upon, analysing and evaluating different ideas and positions, and is demonstrated through an ability to express informed responses and independent thought.〔BBC Bitesize, http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/art/aos/ao42.shtml (Jun 2012 )〕 Critical understanding develops through analytical and independent thought and is considered an increasingly important element of the education process as students progress to higher and further education.〔Barnett, R. (1997). Higher Education: A Critical Business. Bristol: Open University Press/Taylor & Francis〕 However it is not an easy concept to communicate for it is not a passive thing we do; it is about active engagement.〔Barton, G. (2009). ‘A whiff of controversy’ in English Teaching Online, Summer (1)〕 ==Meaning== Critical understanding is a cerebral mode of comprehension, it is a way of thinking, and thus is not dependent upon external expression. Yet it requires external manifestation in order to be communicated. The expression of critical understanding can take various forms including formal or informal speech, academic writing, creative prose or poetry or visual outcomes. It can take different forms in different cultures and this needs to be taken into consideration when assessing critical results.〔Charnock, K. (2010) The right to reticence. Teaching in Higher Education 15(5). 543-552〕 The term "critical" in this context is not meant in a negative sense; rather it outlines a process of thinking. Critical understanding is used to define the process of formulating and understanding a complex problem or difficult set of ideas. In a general sense, it is, ‘a consequence of men’s () beginning to reflect about their own capacity for reflection, about the world, about their position in the world.’〔Freire, P. (1996). Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Translated by Myra Bergman Ramos. London: Penguin. 75〕
