Critical Thinking

NWSSDTP

Critical ThinkingYiovi Derpsch (University of Liverpool)Do you know what ‘critical thinking’ really is and is not? Can you define it? Are you able to explain its importance within research and beyond? Critical thinking has been deemed the most important 21st century skill, sought-after not only in academia but also within the workplace and society. However, studies show that many students only marginally improve their critical thinking skills, complex reasoning and academic writing during their journeys through higher education. Moreover, employers often note that their workforce struggle to perform tasks that require reasoning, problem-solving and creativity, i.e., skills that are rooted in critical thinking.This session will help you understand better what critical thinking is, its importance in research and personal life, and distinguish what tools are needed to develop the basic skill set and become a better critical thinker. You will also learn about the basis of argumentation. By the end of this session, you will be better able to:<ul><li>Explain what critical thinking is and it is not</li><li>Describe its components</li><li>Understand the importance of argumentation</li><li>Apply the basic argument structure to your reading &amp; writing</li></ul>You will be sent the Zoom link and password after registration.This is part of the Methods North West Methods Sessions 2021.
