Reading Critically
Critical Reading Interpretation Analysis Synthesis Evaluation
Reading a text critically means that you do not accept what you are reading at face value. This does not necessarily mean that you should find fault with a text, but rather that you should question and judge the merit and worth of the information it contains. A number of inter-related processes are involved in critical reading. They are: interpretation, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Whether you use all, or only some of these processes, will depend on both the particular reading situation, and your purpose for reading.
When we read critically for interpretation, we read to discover meaning in a text, that is, to determine what conclusions can be drawn about the various messages the text contains. Sometimes, there is more than one possible interpretation, and in such cases it is possible that our reading may be directed at the best, or most likely meaning. Interpreting a text will also frequently involve the processes of analysis and synthesis.
This is the process by which we examine the way the ideas and messages in a text fit together to create the overall meaning. When analysing a text we focus on:
Synthesis usually occurs in conjunction with analysis, and involves the drawing together of the results of the analysis into a conclusion on which to base an interpretation or evaluation.
This is a process by which we establish the worth or merit of a text. Evaluation is a higher order process that involves all of the other processes described so far, ie. interpretation, analysis, and synthesis. When evaluating a text we attempt to look at the ideas and messages in a broader context. We might say - this is a good argument, but is it worth anything, does it have any merit? We would then use our knowledge of the subject or field, or of competing arguments, to establish the merit or worth of the argument.
