Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Cook's emphasis on wondering, probing, analyzing, questioning, and reflecting indicates a focus on critical thinking, which involves evaluating and synthesizing information to form reasoned judgments. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect this emphasis. Self-inhibition refers to the ability to control and regulate one's own behavior, rather than engage in active inquiry. Scientific reasoning involves the application of logical thinking to the scientific method, but does not necessarily incorporate the same level of critical thinking skills as wondering, probing, analyzing, questioning, and reflecting. Conceptual categories refer to the organization and categorization of information, but do not necessarily involve active engagement with the material in the way that critical thinking does.
