How YOU Define Critical Thinking (New) – Winter 2022

Book picture: Infusing Critical Thinking Into Your Course

Over fall quarter 2021, a group of 12 instructors from across the campus thought critically about critical thinking, focusing on the definitions and pedagogies within our disciplines. A guiding focus of our learning was the new book, Infusing Critical Thinking into Your Course by Linda B. Nilson, while also learning from how each of us already approaches the instruction of critical thinking – one of our college’s general education outcomes and a skill imperative for our students to develop. In this session, we’d like to share some significant takeaways, particularly how each of us now defines critical thinking so we can more explicitly and convincingly teach it, and our students can more readily practice it. Join this panel discussion to spark your CT interest!
