Curriculum Alignment:

The following outlines how the Activity Pack meets the standards or outcomes of the Australian National Curriculum, UK National Curriculum, and US Common Core State Standards. Although each of these curricula may not always explicitly mention "critical thinking" or "logical fallacies", they do encourage critical thinking (a core aspect of logical fallacies) in various ways from Grades 6 and above.

Here are the key ways in which critical thinking is emphasised in these national curricula:

Australia (Australian National Curriculum):

In the Australian National Curriculum, critical thinking is encouraged through the development of general capabilities. Some key aspects include:

Critical and Creative Thinking: This capability is explicitly mentioned and emphasises skills such as problem-solving, analysis, and evaluation. Students are expected to think critically and creatively across various subject areas.

Research Skills: Students are encouraged to conduct research, analyse information, and use evidence to support their arguments, which involves critical thinking.

Inquiry-Based Learning: The curriculum promotes inquiry-based learning, where students are expected to ask questions, gather data, and draw conclusions, fostering critical thinking skills.
