Today's curricula can (and should) incorporate critical thinking
methods because they are the means by which people best understand,
learn, and retain higher level concepts. Contrary to what many
professional trainers assume, teaching critical thinking is not
achieved by shoveling facts at an audience through lecturing or
multiple choice testing. It requires sustained, finely tuned
teaching and assessment methods. This book lays out a blueprint to
do just that. Specifically, it outlines the necessary components of
a critical thinking classroom and provides assessment techniques
and ample exercises adaptable to any student's field, age, or level
of education. Often not considered are those learners schooled in a
non-Western culture and not proficient in the presenter's language.
These audiences can create invisible barriers to instruction.
Without understanding these pitfalls, trainers invite frustration
and failure, and risk wasting everyone's time and money because
they were unaware any problem existed. The book addresses these
linguistic, cultural, and cognitive obstacles and suggests several
solutions, whether you teach these students on your home turf or
theirs.
