I learned some new tools to encourage critical thinking.
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.

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.

Critical thinking and the willingness to learn go hand in hand in any educational environment. Students seeking to gain knowledge must cultivate an open mind that is receptive to new ideas and perspectives. In addition, strong communication skills and a logical mindset are essential for engaging with diverse viewpoints and understanding different interpretations of a topic. Every issue should be analyzed from multiple angles — including far-left, far-right, and neutral perspectives — to develop a well-rounded and informed understanding.
Critical thinking is crucial for students today. This is a skill that students will use in the workplace as well as in their personal lives. I loved the idea of the silent conversation. What a great opportunity for quiet students to have the chance to share.

Critical thinking has been a useful soft skill and often underdeveloped. What I learned is how to inspire and develop my Students' critical thinking skills.
What I have learned form the unit on verbal and written communication:
1) The importance of being clear and concise in any written communication
2) I learning a specific term "disciplinary literacy": which involves specific ways of reading, writing, and speaking when communicating with professionals in a specific field. It goes beyond just literacy skills, but how students engage with and understand practices within specific subject areas-ours would be medicine and specifically nursing.
Students are learning a new way of communicating vital information.
