批判性思考學習經驗談－以「行政法專有名詞」概念區別之學習為例

Learning Experiences about Critical Thinking: Citing Examples from the Segmentation of Concepts Regarding the Terms of Administrative Law

批判性思考教學之重要性，迄今雖已成為國內外教育界之共識，惟其究應採「單獨設科教學」或「融入特定專業學科中教學」，則學者間尚有不同的研究結果與見解。本文即以作者對「行政法專有名詞」概念區別之學習為例，依照溫明麗所提出的「批判性思考辯證歷程」，來分析作者個人「融入批判性思考」模式之學習、教學體驗。並以作者自學通過公職考試多次，以及10餘年間輔導逾500人次考取公務人員的教學成果，印證「融入特定專業學科」中的批判性思考教學，確能提升學習成就與增進思考能力。因此，建議各級學校如能提供「單獨設科的批判性思考」教學固佳，否則，身為教師者亦宜於教學中適時「融入批判性思考的課程」，深信對教學必有助益。

The importance of teaching critical thinking is widely recognized across the educational spheres locally and overseas, yet there remain differing opinions and research results regarding which approach, "making critical thinking as a subject" or "integrating critical thinking into certain professional subjects", should be adopted. The essay cites examples from the learning of the segmentation of concepts concerning the terms of Administrative Law, in combination with "dialectical process of critical thinking", proposed by Sophia Ming-Lee Wen , to analyze the learning and teaching experiences of the author's mode of integrated critical thinking. Meanwhile, the author offers his experiences of passing civil service examinations many times as well as helping more than 500 people in passing such examinations with counseling over the past decade, manifesting the critical thinking teaching employed in certain professional subjects indeed can enhance academic achievements and thinking abilities. Therefore, it is suggested that all schools provide education on critical thinking; if it is not plausible, then, it is greatly beneficial to the teaching if teachers integrate critical thinking into the curriculum.
