I learned that critical thinking means breaking problems down, questioning assumptions, and evaluating solutions before acting. I plan to apply this at work by focusing on root causes instead of quick fixes, and in daily life by pausing to reflect before making decisions.
Critical thinking is a great tool for identifying each individual student understanding of the course.
Critical thinking involves objectively analyzing and evaluating information to form a well-reasoned judgement or decision.
Students have to have an environment conducive to learning so that they can feel comfortable to express themselves and participate in their learning. Thinking is a skill that they will use constantly for as long as they choose to be a nurse.
dont give solutions, let them think. Ask questions
I learned some new tools to encourage critical thinking.
Critical thinking skills are not always something that is well-developed in students. You have to teach them to have an open mind so they can become comfortable with the thought of trying something new and digging deeper.
I learned the value in silence. After a lecture, questions could be asked about aspects of components functionality and after a silence to force more critical thinking, they could be discussed.

I agree, Chanda. Not all students come in with strong critical thinking skills, so it’s important to create assignments that gradually build them up. Scaffolding and real-world examples can really help students see the value in developing these skills.
Some students may be resistant to learning critical thinking skills so helping them to develop them is essential. Some students may have developed these skills while others may not. Providing assignments that will help them in this area can be effective.
In this module, I have learned the 6 steps of effective thinking and problem solving. I plan to use written dialogue/ case studies and K-W-L charts to help students to get a better understanding of the information being taught.
The importance of creating a collaborative environment where students can learn and put into practice critical thinking skills using various methods, such as real-life scenarios, K-W-L, Bloom's Taxonomy.
l learned that Information should be analyzed and processed before being relayed so that it is communicated effectively >
Teaching students in a non-biased environment facilitates effective learning.
I learned that critical thinking helps students analyze and solve problems effectively. I’ll apply this by using simple strategies like open-ended questions and problem-solving frameworks in class. I will also apply the KWL (Know, Want to know, Learned) method.
In the line of work, we are in (imaging/healthcare), it is important to help students realize the significance of critical thinking and being resourceful.
Comprehension is the lowest level when it comes to critical thinking/problem solving and evaluation is the highest. I would think they would both be on the same line
Critical thinking is the disciplined process of actively analyzing, evaluating, and synthesizing information to form clear, reasoned judgments. It involves questioning assumptions, recognizing biases, and considering evidence to make well-informed decisions.
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving facilitate student engagement with peers, develop their needed skills to prepare for a specific task, envision and analyze their success and learn from their mistakes.
