The document discusses critical thinking and creative thinking skills using Bloom's Taxonomy. It explains that Bloom's Taxonomy categorizes learning into cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains. Within the cognitive domain are six levels - knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Critical thinking involves skills like logical reasoning, comparing, classifying while creative thinking involves skills like flexibility, originality, brainstorming. When discussing higher-order thinking skills, the focus is on analysis, synthesis, and evaluation levels of Bloom's Taxonomy.

Critical and Creative Thinking - Bloom's Taxonomy What are critical thinking and creative thinking?
What's Bloom's taxonomy and how is it helpful in project planning? How are the domains of learning reflected in technology-rich projects? Benjamin Bloom (1956) developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior in learning. This taxonomy contained three overlapping domains: the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective. Within the cognitive domain, he identified six levels: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. These domains and levels are still useful today as you develop the critical thinking skills of your students. Critical Thinking Critical thinking involves logical thinking and reasoning including skills such as comparison, classification, sequencing, cause/effect, patterning, webbing, analogies, deductive and inductive reasoning, forecasting, planning, hypothesizing, and critiquing. Creative thinking involves creating something new or original. It involves the skills of flexibility, originality, fluency, elaboration, brainstorming, modification, imagery,
associative thinking, attribute listing, metaphorical thinking, forced relationships. The aim of creative thinking is to stimulate curiosity and promote divergence.
While critical thinking can be thought of as more left-brain and creative thinking more right brain, they both involve "thinking." When we talk about HOTS "higher-order thinking skills" we're concentrating on the top three levels of Bloom's Taxonomy: analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
