question 18 (2.5 points)
all of the following are cognitive abilities and attitudes that characterize the critical thinker except
a) discussing ideas in an organized way
b) thinking actively
c) viewing situations from different perspectives
d) engaging in two - way communication

Explanation:

Question 16

Benjamin Bloom's taxonomy has six major categories (originally; later revised, but the common knowledge here is that the statement about seven categories is incorrect as the original Bloom's taxonomy had six cognitive levels). So the answer is False.

If you have thought through your ideas, you should be able to rationalize and explain the reasons for your belief, so the statement is True.

Critical thinkers are characterized by active thinking, viewing from different perspectives, and discussing ideas organizedly. Engaging in two - way communication is more about interpersonal communication skills rather than a core cognitive ability/attitude of critical thinking. So the answer is d) engaging in two - way communication.

Answer:

False
