145. CT Skill Builder 1 Hypothesizing When you are reading new material, you may often encounter ideas and events that you do not immediately understand. One way to overcome this difficulty is to make educated guesses about what happened. Click the Speaker button to listen to the audio again.

146. CT Skill Builder 2 Learning the Skill When you read things that you do not understand, you probably make guesses about what the material means. You may or may not have been able to prove these guesses, but you have taken a step toward deciphering the information. This step is called hypothesizing. When you hypothesize, you form one or more hypotheses, which are guesses that offer possible answers to a problem or provide possible explanations for an observation. Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Hypothesizing

147. CT Skill Builder 3 Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Learning the Skill (cont.) When hypothesizing, follow these steps.  Read the material carefully.  Ask yourself what the material is actually saying. To do this, try to put the material in your own words.  Determine what you might logically assume from your guesses. Then form one or more hypotheses.  Test each hypothesis to determine whether or not it is correct. You can usually do this by asking yourself questions that relate to your hypothesis and then researching the answers. Hypothesizing

148. CT Skill Builder 4 Based on your research, determine which hypothesis, if any, provides an explanation for the information that you originally read.  Click the mouse button or press the Space Bar to display the information. Hypotheses are only preliminary explanations. They must be accepted, rejected, or modified as the problem is investigated. Each hypothesis must be tested against the information gathered. Hypotheses that are supported by evidence can be accepted as explanations of the problem. Learning the Skill (cont.) Hypothesizing
