Description
Colleges, universities, and businesses recognize the need for strong communication and collaboration skills for success in school and work. How do we begin to prepare high school students in these areas before they graduate? Critical thinking is essential to these skills, yet new learning processes are needed to teach them to this generation of students. In Essentials of Critical Thinking, Bob Iseminger introduces ideas for how to approach critical thinking strategies while considering the needs and skills of today’s students.
This course covers:
- Defining critical thinking
- Introductory ideas pertaining to critical thinking
- Educating students who are digital natives
- Encouraging face-to-face communication
- Building discussion into the classroom
