The given article is devoted to the problem of critical thinking and writing
an essay with the help of Rationale. The aim is to show the importance of
developing the student’s critical thinking and how to teach it. Different effective
classroom activities are suggested for implementation to various levels of foreign
language students.
Key words: critical thinking, theoretical knowledge, foreign language
teaching, essay writing, making argument maps.
In the XXI century the concept of "critical thinking" has attracted the
attention of many researchers. Critical thinking is inextricably linked to human
activity. Man can not know anything about critical thinking, and, nevertheless, in
his arguments will always be critical installation.
Consequently, there is a need to study the phenomenon of "critical
thinking" in order to better use. Aristotle developed a systematic critique of Plato's
concept. Christian Philosophy in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, when
deciding the apologetic task, largely focused on the criticism of pagan philosophy.
In modern philosophy criticism it becomes a component of the system of
philosophical theory. Kant originally interpreted the concept of criticism and
applied it to the definition of the boundaries of human cognitive abilities. In XX
century the criticism sometimes become philosophical bearing element design - as
in critical rationalism of Karl Popper. There are several examples of philosophical
systems in which philosophy is associated with critical thinking in the history of
philosophy. Such systems are especially critical philosophy of Kant and the critical
rationalism of Karl Popper. If Kant believed criticism preliminary step needed in
order to continue to build the only true metaphysics, that Popper considered
critical thinking and critical tradition nucleus of every rational thinking [1, 29].
There are different approaches to critical thinking in philosophy. One
approach, call it didactic, considering the critical thinking as a modern academic
discipline that studies in several universities in the US, UK, Canada and other
XXI Ғ АСЫРДАҒ Ы БІЛІМ ЖӘНЕ Ғ ЫЛЫМНЫҢ ӨЗЕКТІ МӘСЕЛЕЛЕРІ
АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ И НАУКИ В XXI ВЕКЕ
countries. This approach adhere I.N. Griftsova and G.V. Sorin. They notice that
the performance of critical thinking as an academic discipline in many ways given
in various textbooks and manuals on critical thinking. Nevertheless, in real
educational and pedagogical process under the heading "Critical thinking" is
represented by a new subject, which laid the foundation of a modern interpretation
of classical formal logic. Second, critical thinking - is a synthetic field of
knowledge, began to take shape within the framework of the historical and
philosophical thought, which continues to evolve and taking into account the
results due to extensive modern interdisciplinary space: the logic and methodology
of science; philosophy of history; rhetoric; theory of the negotiation process;
discourse analysis; theory of mass communications; theory of decision-making. In
addition, it is noted that critical thinking has become an independent academic
discipline.
As academic disciplines critical thinking characterizes the number of
features. For example, the orientation of logical analysis tools to practical
applications in specific humanitarian, socio-political and natural areas; account of
the subjective, personal factors during different levels of analysis; attention to the
analysis of different kinds of errors in the reasoning. Moreover, these errors are
divided into random and conscious, revealed their role in various kinds of
manipulative techniques, given as up to date as well as in past centuries, such as
Schopenhauer; interest in the analysis of interrogative forms, identifying their
place and role in decision-making, conflict resolution and the organization of the
negotiation process, and so on. The authors of this approach believe that critical
thinking as an academic discipline, including the ability to work with concepts and
articulate thoughts; formulate questions and provide appropriate answers to them;
carry out methodical doubt; identify errors reasoning subject, etc. In this case, it
turns out that the history of philosophical thought, reconstructed in the light of the
positions outlined above, organic part of critical thinking as an essential
prerequisite of the course [2, 68].
Critical thinking demands an open and inquiring attitude, a number of
reasoning skills and knowledge of the basic concepts of critical thinking. A brief
definition of critical thinking is: `the art of being right`. This short definition of
critical thinking will not be clear to everyone and needs some explanation. Making
clear what critical thinking is can perhaps best be done by describing the
characteristics of the critical thinker. The critical thinker is capable of actively and
skillfully applying general principles and procedures of thought, as a result of
which his judgments will be highly reliable and accurate. To put it in simpler
words: he knows the principles and procedures of critical thinking and can apply
them. A critical thinker does not just state a contention without due consideration,
that is to say, not without providing sound reasons bases on reliable sources; he
evaluates the underpinning of claims, is not blind to possible objections against his
XXI Ғ АСЫРДАҒ Ы БІЛІМ ЖӘНЕ Ғ ЫЛЫМНЫҢ ӨЗЕКТІ МӘСЕЛЕЛЕРІ
АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ И НАУКИ В XXI ВЕКЕ
contention, and is capable of refuting them. All this enables him to form a sound
judgment of what to believe or what action to take.
A critical thinker is skilled at analyzing the claims of other people and can
recognize the arguments in a text. He also sees when they are poor, can point out
the flaws in an argument, bring hidden premises to the surface and point out
fallacies. The critical thinker is characterized by an open, inquiring attitude, also
with regard to his own opinions, and takes nothing for granted. He is focused on
the truth, prepared to weigh up the pros and cons of his own arguments and those
of other people. He is curious, knows that things are often not as they seem to be at
first sight, and is receptive to information that contradicts his own opinions. He
has tentative opinions that may be adjusted over and over again. He knows that,
just like anyone else, he has blind spots, and takes them into account [3].
The role of writing in academic settings and social interactions is becoming
more and more evident in modern communities. The ability to write in an effective
way is becoming increasingly important in our global community. Besides,
English writing teachers are better prepared, and language programs recognize the
value of second language writing competencies. In the recent years, writing in a
second language has become very important as many people are using the Internet
and their personal computers for a variety of purposes like personal, educational,
and so on. a. In this regard, teaching writing to non-native speakers of English is
an enterprise that unfolds in such a countless variety of settings and classrooms
around the world and even a considerable variation in how writing is taught.
Nowadays, due to the widespread use of the technology in the classrooms, it would
be a great negligence to downgrade the role of writing in EFL/ESL situations or to
consider it as the least important skill to be acquired.
In the process of learning a second language, writing skill is a basic
communication skill. When one starts to write, his thinking and act of writing are
inseparable. In fact, the act of writing has a creative function since it helps the
writer find and explore what he wants to say.
The importance of being able and willing to think critically is undisputed.
Critical thinking is essential to:

complete
a
study
successfully
–

research
– be able to deal with information and sources meticulously
– pursue a successful career in the rapidly innovating professional field, for which
the ability to make evidence-based decisions is of increasing importance
Being able to form independent judgments is also necessary to enable citizens to
function in a democracy, and, indeed, for the perpetuation of democracy itself.
The method Critical Thinking with Rationale (CTwR) has been developed
as a result of the initiative of the Australian Research Council that commissioned a
four-year research project in 2001 on how to improve critical thinking skills [4,
982].

In the article written by Tim van Gelder `Teaching critical thinking: some
lessons from cognitive science` (2005) was formulated six basic principles in
relation to critical thinking. These principles are partly about critical thinking
itself, partly about how critical thinking skills can be acquired and partly about the
best method of teaching critical thinking. Van Gelder`s article can be summarized
as follows:
Critical thinking is hard. People are not critical by nature. Like ballet,
critical thinking is a highly contrived activity. Running is natural; nightclub
dancing is so to a lesser extent; but ballet is something that you can only do well
after investing time and money in painful, intensive training for years.
Underpinning an opinion, providing reasons to justify a statement are not innate
basic reasoning skills. Critical thinking is something that is referred to as a higher-
order skill by cognitive scientists. That means that critical thinking is a complex
activity that is built up out of other skills that can be acquired more easily, like
linguistic competence and text comprehension. As a consequence, attending a short
course is not enough to turn somebody into a critical thinker; critical thinking is
something that requires a sustained effort [4, 982].
Practice makes perfect. Take tennis, for example, which is a higher-order
skill. To play good tennis you must be able to run, hit a forehand and a backhand
and watch your opponent. But mastery of these separate skills is not sufficient.
You must be able to combine them into a fluent interplay of actions that result in
scoring a point. By merely reading a book about critical thinking you do not
develop your critical thinking skills. That only happens when you practice
intensively in a way that is also called `deliberate practice`: practice that is specific,
determined and concentrated [4, 982].
Transfer-oriented practice is required. Critical thinking should be trained
as a separate discipline within a course; in addition, students must learn how to
apply the acquired knowledge, skills and attitude to the other fields of their study.
The entire curriculum should challenge the student to do so [4, 982].
Theoretical knowledge is indispensable. Knowledge of a coherent conceptual
framework makes it possible to spot and define mistakes in reasoning, and it
increases the student`s capacity of self-reflection and self-criticism; it will also
make it easier for teachers to provide feedback. Having command of the lingo is like
having x-ray vision into thinking. For example, if you know what is meant by
affirming the consequent, it will be easier for you to find examples of poor
reasoning, because you will be able to pick out the kind of reasoning that fits that
particular pattern more quickly[4, 983].
People are prone to stick to their own convictions. People are naturally
inclined to stick to something that is old and trusted. Therefore, it is essential in
education for the teacher to be a role model by continually adopting a critical, open
and inquiring attitude and stimulating the development of that same attitude
within their students [4, 983].

Making

skills
A core part of critical thinking is in dealing with arguments. Visualizing
arguments, argument mapping, stimulates the development of critical thinking
skills. Rationale offers a very helpful tool to do that [4, 983].
“Rationale” is mainly focused on teaching people how to think clearly
about contentious issues, and has very successfully popularized a diagrammatic
method
of
argument
development.
It is the most practical way to outline that I have come across. Outlining is often
promoted as a writing tool because it forces the writer to focus first on organizing
ideas, before moving onto packaging them [4, 983].

topic because according to the renovated programme which we are working on in
our school in Kazakhstan students are required to be more independent and self-
regulated to be able to keep up with changing times. The State Programme of
Education Development for 2011-2020, which is developed by the Ministry of
Education and Science of Kazakhstan, aims to increase competitiveness of
education and develop the human capital through quality education. One of the
programme goals is ‘the formation of an intellectually, physically and spiritually
developed citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan, who is expected to succeed in a
rapidly changing world’ (Kazakhstan Programme 2020, 2010, p.3). To achieve this
goal, the first and the foremost issue that we must overcome is aspiring to train
them to be independent learners.
I consider that one of the ways to encourage learners to develop their
independent learning skills (such as time-management, self-management, thinking
skills, information literacy skills, and reflecting and inquiring skills) might be
linked to homework. In my small scale research project I sought to find the link
between independent learning and homework via a literature review and by
collecting the data from my professional placement.
Before attempting to establish a link between independent learning and
homework, it might be useful to understand what the terms ‘independent learning’
and ‘homework’ mean. ‘Independent learning’ in most cases is associated with
‘self-directed learning’ (Knowles, 1975, p. 18),‘student-centred learning’,
‘ownership’ of learning (Meyer et al, 2008, p. 3) and with ‘being motivated to take
responsibility for their learning’ (Holec, 1981, p. 3).
There is a debate among researchers such as Kohn (2007), Cooper(2006),
Zimmerman (2005) and others about the negative and positive impact of
homework; that is why homework is a controversial topic. Researchers mainly
argue about the importance of homework and its diversified role in developing the
learners. Kohn (2006, p. 3) argues that ‘homework can make learning seem
unappealing and frustrating’. In terms of decreasing children's motivation and
taking family activitytime it might be true. Nevertheless, Corno and Xu (2004, p.
125) regard that ‘homework helps students develop responsibility and life skills
and provides experiential learning opportunities to learn to cope with difficulties
and distractions’.
The nature of my work is practitioner research. The research that I carried
out is guided by the ‘constructivist paradigm’ which is often referred to as an
interpretive form of research (Burtonet al., 2014, p.56). I also completely agree
with Thomas (2003, p.78) who stated that ‘quantitative evidence will provide the
relative importance of the issue, while qualitative evidence will attempt to offer an
interpretation or explanation’.
Case study is a form of qualitative descriptive research that helps the
researcher to find out the issue related to one single situation or a whole group of
individuals and enables them to develop a deeper understanding of the problem
XXI Ғ АСЫРДАҒ Ы БІЛІМ ЖӘНЕ Ғ ЫЛЫМНЫҢ ӨЗЕКТІ МӘСЕЛЕЛЕРІ
АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ И НАУКИ В XXI ВЕКЕ
(McLeod, 2008). My case study attempted to find the interrelated connection
between independent learning and homework and examines the contribution of
homework on developing independent learning.
In my project I used such research methods as questionnaires, interviews
and a focus group. Questionnaires are a practical tool and enable one to collect
large amounts of information in a short period of time. 24 Year 10 students and
four English teachers took part in my questionnaire. Furthermore, I interviewed
four members of the senior leadership team and there were 5 students in my focus
group. I used a set of open-ended and closed questions considering that open-ended
questions would allow the respondents to feel free and answer in detail.
The first question was related to the types of homework because the purpose
of homework is crucial in encouraging the students to enhance learning. Almost
73% (n16) of the respondents thought that researching topics for class work is the
assignment that really encourages them to become independent. Essay writing and
reading for purpose is in second place with 68% (n15) and 64%(n14) of the
learners thought that the next important type of home task is project work.
The research done by Xu and Corno (2006, p.12) supported my findings.
According to the results of their research, learners gain independent learning skills
by ‘using book reports, science projects, or creative writing’. This might prove that
the learners were right when thinking that these certain variety of tasks will
facilitate their independence in learning.
My next question was about teaching resources that support learners to do
homework. Many schools and pupils are well-provided with the material resources
available for homework. However, Stern (2009) discovers that most schools need to
expand the range of resources available.
To my question ‘Which of these resources that you use can help you to
develop your independent learning skills?’ 91% (n20) of the students answered
internet resources, 73% (n16)different books and 60% (n13) of them thought that
they need library resources.
While acknowledging the importance of resources in completing homework, Stern
(2009, p.103) extends the various ways of organising resources for homework. By
stating that there was inequality in resources available, especially the cost (e.g.
internet), that results in schoolchildren avoid homework, he offered the idea of
setting up the homework centres or study support facilities.
I consider that my question about which skills the students use when doing
homework and which of them can contribute to develop independent learning is the
key question that assisted me to get an answer to my research question. 91% (n20)
of the learners selected time-management, 86% (n19) selected thinking skills and
77% (n17) of the students are certain that they can develop their inquiring and
self-management skills through homework.
The earlier research that supported my findings was done by Zimmerman,
Bonner and Kovach (1996, p. 33) where they stated that homework can help
XXI Ғ АСЫРДАҒ Ы БІЛІМ ЖӘНЕ Ғ ЫЛЫМНЫҢ ӨЗЕКТІ МӘСЕЛЕЛЕРІ
АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ И НАУКИ В XXI ВЕКЕ
learners to develop personal attributes, because when ‘students complete tasks with
less supervision and under less severe time constraints, home study is said to
promote greater self-direction and self-discipline, better time organization, more
inquisitiveness, and more independent problem solving’. Cooper and Valentine
(2001, p. 27) and Zimmerman and Kitsantas (2005, p.28) also view homework as
‘one important vehicle for developing better study habits, better time organization,
and greater self-direction’.
The focus group was conducted with the aim of further investigating
students’ understanding into the contribution of homework to develop independent
learning. This enabled me to find out what specific skills they could develop while
doing homework in English and how they could develop them.
Hallam (2004, p. 84) challenges these ideas further by indicating that
‘schools might consider offering a choice of homework’. In addition, he regards that
‘encouraging pupils to evaluate their own work and increase their meta-cognitive
skills will have long-term benefits’ (p.93).
On the basis of my research findings I try to make recommendations. It is
clear from the research that homework has different purposes. The students think
that the purpose of homework in their school is to improve their exam performance.
It seems to the students that homework is given to them just to satisfy curriculum
needs and, as a result, it makes them tired of the same routine. They understand
the importance of exam results and achievements; however, they do not deny the
fact that they frequently get bored doing the same type of home task. Considering
this fact, my first recommendation to the school is:
- To allow the students to have a wider range of home assignments so that
they willbe able to develop different learning skills e.g. watching a video and
submitting a group poster, doing projects or tasks that need wider reading.
As Deslandes (2009) indicates, requiring students to do a lot of homework is
meaningless and it does not make any impact on learning. The quality of
homework is much more important, especially the tasks that make learners think or
create something. Therefore, teachers need to know why they are giving that type of
homework and what their expectations are. From the student perspective,
homework should be seen relevant and interesting. So, the implication is that:
- Students should understand the value of homework, but they want it be
submitted in a more enjoyable and different way e.g. virtual tests, creating tasks.
Even though there is a homework policy in the school, both the teachers and the
students complain about the amount of homework given on different subjects. They
want some changes to be made concerning the amount of homework assigned to
various subjects (e.g. Art). Consequently, my next recommendation is:
- There should be a coherent policy across subjects on the amount of homework in
order not to make homework a burden for students and teachers who have to make
it.

There is no doubt that homework is an integral part of the learning process, but
it is not a very good idea to bombard the students with increasing amount of
homework. The school and the teachers should not forget about the social life of the
students, as social interaction and leisure time is no less important than student
achievement. My next recommendation is based on the idea of Haberman who
advocates that homework in the best classrooms ‘is not checked – it is shared’(in
Kohn, 2007,p.4).
- Sometimes homework should take place through some activity days (outside
school) e.g. dining school, sports day, and student-led work days or trip days.
Doing this research was really helpful to me to develop my understanding of
research. I agree with Maats and O'Brien (2014), who state that ‘helping students
rethink mistakes helps them be specific about their errors’.
I think I was able to get an answer to my question and show that there is a
direct link between homework and independent learning. Homework can
contribute to develop independent learning of Year 10 students in English in
different ways
:
-
By repeating, revising and practicing;
-
By learning from mistakes;
-
By doing it without teacher’s assistance;
-
By connecting what they learned in class with homework through research;
-
By revising and familiarising themselves with future questions;
-
By gaining confidence in doing homework;
-
By doing research and project work
.
Year 10 students will be able to develop some specific skills in English to become
independent learners through homework. These include:
-
Reading comprehension skills;
-
Creative writing skills;
-
Develop to use linguistic techniques;
-
Consolidating analysis and literacy skills;
-
Analysing words, phrases and word choice;
-
Researching and inquiring skills
.
Year 10 students are old enough to understand the value of homework and they
can do homework independently. They can develop their time-management and
thinking skills, as well as self-management and inquiring skills when they
complete homework by practising without teachers’ assistance and avoiding the
mistakes they have already made.
My practitioner research topic is one of the controversial areas of study that
needs further investigation. Even though a lot of research has already been
undertaken by Cooper (2008), Zimmerman (2005), Corno and Xu (2008),
Warton(2001) and many other scholars, they still think that there is a lot more to
discuss and solve.
