Overview

A college education goes far beyond learning content. The mark of a well educated person is not so much �what� they have learned but more importantly, does he/she know �how� to think critically. When our students complete their degrees, do they know how to find material they will need to know (information literacy) and can they evaluate the legitimacy of the source? Are they capable of analyzing information, applying what they know to new situations, and evaluating credibility? College teachers today need to ensure that our students are developing these critical thinking skills. This presentation will focus on how to promote critical thinking skills in today�s college students. Specific teaching strategies that foster critical thinking will be discussed so that participants might expand their teaching repertoire.

Objectives

Participants will learn:

What critical thinking, also known as �deep� thinking, entails
How to develop discussion questions that promote critical thinking
How to use specific teaching strategies that promote critical thinking

Who should attend?

New and veteran teachers at 2 and 4-year, public and private institutions
Graduate Teaching Assistants
Department Chairs
Instructional Deans
