Stephen think that it is always good if you can teach something when you have experienced it. He starts being interested in the teaching and learning process when he realize how important is feedback from instructor. For Stephen critical thinking is the process by which we become aware of the assumptions that frames the way we think about everything in our life,but also the way we act. The only reason you do critical thinking is to prepare you to take more informed actions. The creative thinking is being able to view ideas and practices from multiple viewpoints. the person who is creative can move outside of his habitual typical mental framework, he can also generate interpretations, perspectives ans responses that are different from the general ways of thinking. this person is also able to communicate that though through a variety of modalities and forms, either visual, symbolic,etc. A critical and creative informed action meets the next conditions: 1. one based o...

misunderstanding what is meant by criticism : having a clear idea of what means being critical and constructing my insights to be a critical student. Lack of practice: try to take advantage of every time I have to test my knowledge in real situations. insufficient focus and attention to detail: being focus on the exact task and details to develop my critical thinking.
Do you recognize anything of yourself in Bodner´s description of students? what effect would the approach he suggests have on your learning and understanding? in my personal experience I think that I can feel identified with Bodner´s description of students, because I think that students should not be only focused in theory, we also have to apply that theory to real situations being critical. In this way we have to ask ourselves and to learn by our personal experience, for instance, when I have had to deal with students in a classroom I feel that I do not have enough capacity even though I study a degree, because it is not the same to study about "classroom management" that face a classroom with 30 students. We only can learn how to manage a classroom by experience. In this way the approach that Bodner suggests could have a good effect in my process of learning, because I will have to be critical about real situations.
For me, the things I find most difficult about challenging the opinions of other people are : to convince people about my point of view, because sometime I do not have enough arguments to support my opinions and in some cases I do not know how to express my feelings in a clear way. I deal with this being accurate when I have to talk about something with anybody.
For me, influences on my thinking that I need to be most aware of so they don´t prejudice my thinking are: my religion is something that always influences my mind because in any decision that I take I have in mind to God, but in any case, it does not influence my thinking in a wrong way because I have a clear idea of what I am and what I want. I will deal with this being conscious that I have to accept the different beliefs that exist noways.
For me the emotions that are most difficult to manage when others disagree with me are: antipathy, because sometimes when they do not think in the same way I do, they try to annoy me with their opinions in a way that they should not do. I deal with this being tolerant of other opinion´s people because I know that I have to accept when I do not have the reason, and when somebody else tries to annoy me with arguments that I know is wrong, I just give them the reason no matter why I think, because I do not like to argue with others.
