Critical Thinking Now: Practical Teaching Methods for Classrooms Around the World (in English)
Nancy Burkhalter
Synopsis "Critical Thinking Now: Practical Teaching Methods for Classrooms Around the World (in English)"
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."
