Which of the following is not a characteristic of a well-formulated critical thinking question ?

  • A.It is open-ended and allows for multiple answers.
  • B.It is based primarily on factual information.
  • C.It requires analysis and evaluation of information.
  • D.It promotes higher-level thinking and problem-solving skills.

Answer: B

The characteristic that does not fit is it is based primarily on factual information.

A critical thinking question asks learners to analyse, evaluate, compare and justify. It is open-ended, allows more than one reasonable answer and leads to higher-level thinking and problem solving.

A question that rests mainly on recalling facts is a lower-order, knowledge-level question. The other three options describe genuine features of good critical thinking questions.
