Obtaining and using critical thinking and communication skills are very important in healthcare, I want to ensure that I’m teaching my students how to develop and use these skills.
Criticsl thinking is ideal and nessassary in parts of nursing frequentyl in our day. I love asking students to team brainstorm and collaborate ideas.
My takeaway from this course is the importance of having students critically think about solutions to problems. Giving students the opportunity to figure out how to problem solve instead of giving them the answers. Allowing them to discuss their conclusions with peers and then formulating which would be the correct course to take. I will be there to guide any misinformation but not to impede on them.
I have learnt the importance of including critical thinking in my lessons to enhance the learning process
I like the IDEALS concept for critical thinking, which allows the students to understand the importance of critical thinking, as well as provide them a layout of fostering their critical thinking skills
Critical thinking is necessary for education and career development
Critical thinking is essential for a personal and career decisions. It is important to utilize critical thinking skills throughout school, career and life, for the best possible outcome.
Being a diesel technology teacher, I use real-world problem-solving skills using scenarios and industry-specific challenges to engage students. I encourage students to think systematically and ask questions. I also put them in groups so that students can learn from other classmates and develop in their unique way.
I will implement critical thinking excercises into the corriculum
Critical thinking is a critical skill for students to help with independent learning and engagement in the classroom, which are essential in academic success. It involves the ability to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information to make well-informed decisions, solve problems, and develop a deeper understanding of course material
critical thinking and problem solving skills are not only used at a work place but also also used at home, and out in the real world. Voice your opinion and don't be afraid to take other peoples advice.
Developing critical thinking abilities in our students is paramount in education. However, communcation skills have to be developed in order to transmit the conclusions of critical thinking.
Reflecting on my own growth in critical thinking and problem-solving, here’s what I’ve learned and how I plan to bring it into my classroom:
Analytical Thinking: I’ve learned to approach complex situations by breaking them down into smaller, manageable parts. In the classroom, I plan to guide my students through this process by encouraging them to analyze case studies step-by-step, helping them learn to identify key issues and brainstorm possible solutions methodically.
Decision-Making: I’ve realized the importance of making decisions based on a clear, systematic approach. In teaching, I’ll model this by walking students through real-life or hypothetical classroom or clinical scenarios. I’ll share how I weigh the pros and cons of each option and invite them to think through decisions with the same level of care.
Critical thinking is a vital skill for students to learn, practice, and master. This skill will help students be successful in the workplace and also in life. Employers value employees who possess soft skills. I liked learning about the K-W-L chart. I've known about this method, but have never incorporated it into my teaching. I feel this could be a very beneficial strategy to use to support student learning.
Critical thinking is an essential part of CTE.
Effective communication is crucial for several reasons:
Clarity of Ideas: It allows individuals to express their thoughts and ideas clearly, reducing misunderstandings and confusion.
Relationship Building: Effective communication fosters stronger relationships, whether in personal or professional settings. It promotes trust and collaboration.
Conflict Resolution: Good verbal skills help in addressing and resolving conflicts by facilitating open dialogue and understanding different perspectives.
Persuasion and Influence: Being able to communicate effectively enables individuals to persuade and influence others, which is important in leadership and advocacy.
Critical thinking in the classroom is essential for fostering independent thought and problem-solving skills among students. It encourages them to analyze information, evaluate different perspectives, and make informed decisions. This skill set not only enhances academic performance but also prepares students for real-world challenges.
Incorporating critical thinking into lessons can lead to more engaging and dynamic discussions, where students learn to articulate their ideas and respect differing viewpoints. Moreover, it promotes a culture of inquiry, encouraging students to ask questions and seek deeper understanding rather than just memorizing facts.
Overall, prioritizing critical thinking equips students with the tools they need to navigate an increasingly complex world, making it a vital component of modern education.
Comentario sobre la publicación de Todd Johnson : Hola Todd que interesante tu opinión, sobre las habilidades blandas de empleabilidad y con la aplicación del juicio crítico como principio para la toma de decisiones y si estas son debatidas mucho mejor aún.
Es muy cierto en este curso el revisar la información y reflexionarla hace que volvamos a insertarnos en el aprendizaje y el compartirlo en pares permite un mejor conocimiento.

Comment on Juan Zamora's post: Juan es muy cierto lo que dices, y aplica a todas las materias tanto científicas como sociales, porque los problemas surgen en todo espacio y si hacen un buen análisis con juicio crítico van a proporcionar una solución justa y ética.
Hola muy buenas tardes a todos y todas; haré el cuadro de doble entrada sobre que sé, qué aprendí y que me falta aprender, he leído con mucho interés el contexto de las habilidades para ser un líder y el rol del docente para facilitar ese liderazgo, así como la contribución de nuestro quehacer docente para diseñar actividades que produzcan el incentivo a la investigación documental, el análisis, la síntesis y el pensamiento crítico.
Qué aprendí los modelos de actividades para el estudiante introvertido y también para los extrovertidos, buscando el equilibrio para un buen debate donde el argumento de la defensa en la solución del caso demuestre el pensamiento crítico.
Qué aplicaré en la dinámica de aprendizaje, los niveles de aprendizaje de la taxonomía de Bloom, y también utilizaré software libres para incorporar a Kolbe en el aprendizaje experiencial.
Es muy ilustrativo esta plataforma de aprendizaje, intuitiva, fácil de usarla y con un diseño muy atractivo.
Muchas gracias por este compartir con ustedes. Atentamente Maritza
