"Learning to Improve: Using Writing to Increase Critical Thinking Performance in General Education Biology" Ian J. Quitadamo* and Martha J. Kurtz


CBE—Life Sciences Education Vol. 6, 140 –154, Summer 200 link

Many college faculty consider critical thinking to be one of the most important indicators of student learning quality. In its 2005 national report, the AACU indicated that 93% of higher education faculty perceived analytical and critical thinking to be an essential learning outcome (AACU, 2005) whereas 87% of undergraduate students indicated that college experiences contributed to their ability to think analytically and creatively. This same AACU report showed that only 6% of undergraduate seniors demonstrated critical thinking proficiency based on Educational Testing Services standardized assessments from 2003 to 2004.
