The logic of critical thinking
How and why does our brain construct faulty arguments? How do we use logic to ensure we can think critically about stuff and avoid our usual mental shortcuts to make decisions?
We have put James Hutson’s nose to the grindstone again to come up with a series of spelndid videos that explore this important topic. They will be incorporated into our new Science Education Resource’s new critical thinking module, but are also available on TechNyou’s YouTube channel.
The video’s help give you the basics to thinking critically and constructing logical argument about important issues, in our case those issues are about emerging science and technologies.
The first video, “A valuable argument” is below. Video 2 and 3 are on the the YouTube chanel. There are 6 in the series and they will be uploaded over the coming weeks

I just watched these with my kids (8 and 11). Thanks so much; they are wonderful! (Bismarck, ND, US)
Glad you like them. It will be interesting to see if your kids remember the content or bring it up when they are next exposed to a relevant argument or piece of controversial bit of information. It might be asking a bit much of an 8 yo, but 11…not sure? Jason TechNyou
Thank you so much! Much needed! Wonderful productions.
