Answer to Question 1

Evidence (significant facts, experiences, statements)
Conceptualizations (formative ideas, theories, ways of seeing the world)
Methods (applicable strategies, techniques, approaches)
Criteria (relevant standards, benchmarks, expectations)
Context (differences in situations, conditions, circumstances)

Answer to Question 2

As people learn more about critical thinking, people will become better at applying the rubric and more facile at using the terminology it contains. Their evaluative judgments will improve, and their ability to explain their judgments will improve as well. In this way, the rubric actually helps people to improve their critical thinking.
