| Abstract | Religious Studies presents a special challenge to the teaching of critical thinking. Reflection papers that asked students in World Religion classes to summarize, analyze, interpret, evaluate and apply to life the beliefs and practices of various religions, helped them to hone their critical thinking skills. Five separate classes of World Religions over a two-year period were asked to list the benefits and shortcomings of the reflection papers at the end of the semester. Besides affirming critical thinking as their highest choice, other students preferred outcomes such as better retention, preparedness for class, vibrant class discussions, improved writing ability and application to life. |
