We can understand something only by assuming that it has a logic, some order or coherence, reason or method, structure or pattern that makes sense, and so can be translated by a reasoning mind into ideas effectively grounded in reasoned judgment and expressed in an ordered, rational way. In this, the opening tape in the “How to Teach” series, Richard Paul sets out the foundations of a critical approach to teaching and learning. He elucidates how this approach fosters the ability of students to seek and grasp the logic of what they are studying by giving it a logic in their minds.

Profound. Would that I had had this understanding of the “logic of things” sooner in my life. I’m exceedingly grateful to know it now, and willingly accept the challenges that it implies. Thank you, Dr. Paul.

Most people have poor reasoning skills. Therefore most people need to listen to this.

You want to teach logic? You have you to teach students to question things.

Wish we were able to use those stuffs in our careers too. All of these methods are just being unnecessary, nonsense and wasted when you are just using them for higher grades and passing lessons.

Read More Here: www.criticalthinking.org/pages/online-customized-webinars-short-courses/1375 Professional Development Workshops Introduction No matter what we do, we cannot escape our thinking. Whether we are working through a complex problem on the job, communicating with our spouses, trying to reason with our children, or even attempting to relax on our day off, our thinking is always functioning with us, determining how we see the world and our place within it. Whether we recognize it or not, whether it is ours or someone else's, thinking is the most significant determinant of the quality of our lives. It is our thinking that determines the extent to which we can reason well through complex problems. It is our thinking that determines the extent to which we think through the implications of the decisions we make. It is our thinking that determines whether we can identify the assumptions we are making, and whether we should question them. Thinking is so much a part of the human experience that it is virtually impossible to imagine humans separate from their thinking. In other words, because we continually think, we take for granted the phenomenon of our "thinking." Not only do we take our own thinking for granted, but we also tend to assume that the thinking we do works well for us. We do not generally question our thinking. Rather, we tend to live with the notion that our thinking is fine, "thank you very much." Often, this is even true when the quality of our lives is poor. A central purpose of the workshops outlined below is to clarify what is meant by the concept of critical thinking, and to develop practical ways to infuse critical thought into our professional work individually and institutionally. www.criticalthinking.org/pages/business-and-professional-groups/1015/
