Critical Thinking Course: Introduction
The first component in critical thinking is to distinguish betweeen relevant and irrelevant information. The most important component of critical thnking is reason and logic. Critical thinking entails removing bias and preconceived paradigms from our thinking, while objectively evaluating new information. We will teach participants in this course (Analysis Courses, Creative Courses, Course In Critical Thinking, Critical Skills Training, Creative Courses Cape Town) the eight characteristics of a critical thinker and participants will learn how beneficial critical thinking can be to them.
Critical Thinking Course (Analysis Courses, Creative Courses, Course In Critical Thinking, Critical Skills Training, Creative Courses Cape Town) Outline
In this workshop (Analysis Courses, Creative Courses, Course In Critical Thinking, Critical Skills Training, Creative Courses Cape Town) our goal is to teach our participants the skills needed to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information and identify and evaluate that information. It will benefit you by increasing productivity in your career and provide a wonderful skill in your everyday life. We will begin with discussing the components of critical thinking, the most important of which is reason, it is human to apply reason, logic follows reason but being logical doesnt follow reason and is often a reflection of our pre-conceived parameters, or we are biased to say it more simply. Critical thinking means being open-minded despite preconceived parameters.TIP: An important part of critical thinking is taking the time to acquire information and also to be open minded to new information. We often jump to conclusions without having all the facts because of our bias. Using critical thinking makes different solutions possible because the premise of critical thinking is logic, not preconceived bias. After participants are conscious to the elements of critical thinking, we will discuss non-linear thinking or lateral thinking. We will then move on to logical thinking which has four components asking the right questions, organizing data, evaluating information and drawing conclusions. So what is a critical thinker? There are eight characteristics which critical thinkers share, which we will teach over two modules. In the first module we will discuss active listening, curiosity, self-discipline and humility. In the second module we will concentrate on the other four characteristics, which are: seeing the big picture, objectivity, using your emotions and being self-aware. Self-awareness is the point from which we begin to think critically, we based our decisions on assumptions and as we learned earlier confirmation bias can influence the conclusions we make. To be more objective and therefore more critical in our thinking we use the SWOT method – strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Strength and weakness are seen as internal factors, while opportunities and threats are seen as external factors. Now that we are through the gorge and understand the components of critical thinking and have considered how it can work for us, we move on to the benefits of critical thinking, the first is persuasiveness. If you want people to see your point, you use your persuasiveness. The second is better communication, we use language with more clarity. Thirdly is the problem solving concept, this is closely involved with critical thinking and helps us find solutions to problems quicker. Lastly our emotional intelligence is greatly improved because self-awareness goes hand-in-hand with empathy and sympathy. We end off our workshop with teaching students how to revise their perspective when new information becomes available and how critical thinking improves problem solving skills.
