The Study Skills Programme
Analysis and evaluation
In the next video , Helen will introduce the key critical thinking skill of analysis . This is where you examine something in detail – often breaking it down into its component parts . This is sometimes called ‘ unpacking ’ or deconstructing . Think of a burger !

In the same way , you analyse language in English lessons when you study texts .
