MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.:
“The function of education is to teach one to think
intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus
character - that is the goal of true education.”

QJ3x.99
Critical Thinking: What is it?
• “Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively
and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing,
and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by,
observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication,
as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on
universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter
divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound
evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth, and fairness.” A
statement by Michael Scriven & Richard Paul, presented at the 8th
Annual International Conference on Critical Thinking and Education
Reform, Summer 1987 Criticalthinking.org Copyright ©2013
Foundation for Critical Thinking
Critical Thinking: Can’t We All Do It?
Left in it’s basic form:
• Biased
• Distorted
• Prejudiced
• Uninformed
• Costly
• Half-assed/Partial
A Critical Thinker However can:
• raise vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely;
• gather and assess relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it
effectively comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against
relevant criteria and standards;
• think open mindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and
assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences;
and
• communicate effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems.

Case Study Method:
• As occupational faculty – we are here to prepare students for the
work force.
• A Case Study is: A detailed analysis of a person, group,
organization, policy, event, time period, project, or other system.
• The Case Study Method develops skills in the students that they
will use later on in the work force.
• Case studies help students use their critical thinking skills to
consider the environment, changes, and the impact their decisions
will make on coworkers and the organization.
Jerrard, Marjorie A. "Assessing student learning and skills using the case study method." Journal
of New Business Ideas and Trends 3.1 (2005): 27+. Gale Power Search. Web. 11 Nov. 2013.
Case Study Approach
• For Introduction to Business Students:
- Introduce them to an approach to case studies:
- Read the case
- Answer the following:
- What is the situation and how does it relate to the organization? Critical, minor etc.
- Who has the responsibility? ( Key decision maker if applicable)
- Review any charts or exhibits provided
- Review the questions for the case if provided.
- Provide them with the case the preceding class period for their reading/review
- Break them into small groups for discussion
- Discuss as a class, they should be doing 75-85% of the talking
- Have them write summaries of what they learned from the discussion.
How Does Cengage Help:
• Cengage Provides the Following for Instructors:
- Video cases at the end of each chapter
- Non video cases at the end of each chapter
- Developing Critical-Thinking Skills exercises at end of each chapter
- Online resources through Cengage Learning
- Business Insights Global Database from Gale. (Contact your library for
details on their subscriptions with your state consortium)
How do you create your own case studies?
• Challenge the students to design a case study.
• Modify a recent case/event in the news that relates
to your coursework material.
• Access the online instructor’s materials from
Cengage Brain.
• Manipulate a case from other editions or other
chapters in your textbooks.
Still Not Satisfied:
• What makes a good story?
– Relatable Problem
– Significant relationships
• Remember stories from your childhood?
– Aesop’s Fables, the Bible, FairyTales
– Famines = Lack of Resources
– Witches/Evil Stepmothers = Partners, Neighbors, Bosses
When to use Case Studies:
• Model the thinking you expect from students right in
class in the first couple of weeks.
• Allow group time to encourage active learning and
critical thinking.
• Integrate small case studies into quizzes or longer case
studies into exams.
• Teaching online?? Case studies in an early assignment
help you spot students who may not be taking the
exams on their own.
ANY QUESTIONS??
