Our ability to learn new ways to think is the power of human potential. We have to make choices about the types of thinking that we apply to a variety of different challenges. Critical Thinking is the act of examining a set of facts and analyzing and evaluating relevant information. We live in a knowledge based society, and the more critically you think the better your knowledge will be. Critical Thinking provides you with the skills to analyze and evaluate information so that you are able to obtain the greatest amount of knowledge from it. It provides the best chance of making the correct decision, and minimizes damages if a mistake does occur. Critical Thinking will lead to being a more rational and disciplined thinker. It will reduce your prejudice and bias, which will provide you a better understanding of your environment.
This workshop will provide you the skills to evaluate, identify, and distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information. It will lead you to be more productive in your career, and provide a great skill in your everyday life. Lastly, critical thinking skills will support your capacity to be innovative. Once you fully understand what it is, you can begin exploring what could be.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to answer the following questions:
a. What is critical thinking?
b. How can I use nonlinear thinking strategies?
c. What does it mean for me to apply logic to situations?
d. How do I know when, how, and why to think critically about a challenge?
e. What skills allow be to better evaluate facts and data?

It discusses benefits of critical thinking for nurses, barriers to critical thinking, and characteristics of critical thinkers. The document emphasizes the importance of critical thinking skills for nurses in clinical decision making.
Critical thinking is a form of reflective judgment used to make decisions or solve problems. It involves acquiring information, evaluating it to reach a well-justified conclusion. Critical thinking is important because it allows one to analyze and evaluate thinking to decrease the risk of acting on false premises, though mistakes can still occur. Principles of critical thinking include being skeptical, avoiding oversimplification, examining definitions and assumptions, considering alternative interpretations, and being cautious when drawing conclusions.
This document discusses critical thinking, including what it means to think critically, why it is important, and how critical thinking skills can be developed. It defines critical thinkers as those who question their environment, consider opposing viewpoints and make evidence-based decisions. The document outlines how critical thinking informs various skills and leads to better outcomes. It also provides steps for becoming a critical thinker and attitudes that critical thinkers possess, as well as barriers to critical thinking.
This document discusses critical thinking. It defines critical thinking as including skills like analyzing arguments, making inferences through reasoning, evaluating information, and problem solving. Critical thinking involves both cognitive skills and dispositions like open-mindedness. It can be applied to any context but requires reflection on how it applies to different disciplines. Critical thinking is important in academics as it helps reduce risks from false beliefs and increase understanding. However, even with critical thinking skills, mistakes can still occur.
The document defines critical thinking as using cognitive skills and intellectual dispositions to analyze and evaluate arguments, identify biases, form reasonable conclusions, and make intelligent decisions. The goals of critical thinking are to teach students how to reason well and succeed in life by using facts intelligently. Some standards of critical thinking discussed are clarity, precision, accuracy, relevance, consistency, logical correctness, and completeness. The document also discusses benefits of critical thinking in education, careers, and everyday life, as well as common barriers like egocentrism, sociocentrism, assumptions, stereotypes, and wishful thinking.
We will review the concept of Critical Thinking and advise why it is important in the context of your life and where you are. The objective for you should be to use Critical Thinking as a way to evaluate your life, analyse the results of your current thinking and to come up with new ways of thinking that enable you to have a happier, fuller life, to earn more and to understand life better.
Critical thinking is an essential skill for nurses that involves systematic reasoning to analyze problems, develop solutions, and make careful decisions. It requires gathering information, considering different perspectives, anticipating needs, and reflecting on the implications and consequences of decisions. Developing critical thinking involves life-long learning, open-mindedness, integrity, and recognizing one's own biases. The T.H.I.N.K. model incorporates critical thinking into the nursing process by promoting total recall, habit formation, inquiry, creativity, and self-awareness when evaluating patients.
Critical thinking and clinical reasoning are essential skills for nurses. There are three levels of critical thinking - basic, complex, and commitment. Critical thinking involves reflection, language skills, and intuition developed through experience. It also relies on general thinking competencies like the scientific method, problem solving, and decision making. Clinical reasoning uses these skills to gather patient information and decide on appropriate nursing interventions. A model by Kataoka-Yahiro and Saylor outlines five components of critical thinking for nursing judgement - knowledge base, experience, critical thinking competencies, attitudes, and standards.
This document provides an overview of a course on critical thinking and decision making. It introduces course objectives, assignments, and key topics that will be covered such as critical thinking skills, decision making processes, identifying assumptions and biases, and overcoming barriers to effective thinking. The document outlines phases of critical thinking and questions students should ask themselves to evaluate arguments and make well-reasoned decisions.

The World Health Organization recommends teaching life skills in schools, which they define as abilities that allow people to effectively handle daily life demands. These include self-awareness, empathy, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and stress management. Self-awareness specifically involves recognizing one's character, strengths, weaknesses, and preferences. Developing self-awareness can help reduce stress and improve communication and relationships. It is important for success in both work and personal life by allowing one to understand how others see them and make adjustments. However, people often have illusions about themselves due to attribution errors and spotlight effects. Ways to enhance self-awareness include SWOT analysis, journaling, defining one's role, and having a

WHAT is Critical Thinking?
4. Critical Thinking
• Everyone thinks; however, much of our thinking is reactive, biased,
uninformed and often prejudiced. More often than not, it is also
haphazard and undisciplined.
• For the most part, critical thinking does not come naturally. It takes
effort, training and practice.
• Thinking is skilled work. It is not true that we are naturally endowed
with the ability to think clearly and logically - without learning how, or
without practicing.
• Critical thinking is self-disciplined, self-monitored and problem solving
thinking.
Natural ability or a skill developed through training?
5. Life skills
• The quality of life we experience is in direct proportion to the quality of
our thinking.
• It promotes open-mindedness, putting things in perspective, & a
positive attitude.
• By thinking critically, instead of reacting emotionally to a problem, we
employ strategies which:
1. Help us learn from an experience
2. Help prevent it from occurring again
3. Result in a reasonable, effective solution
• Critical thinking helps us balance our emotions, which in turn leads to
good judgment and making informed, good decisions.
WHY is Critical Thinking important?
7. Bloom’s taxonomy of Cognition
• Knowledge
Eg: dates, events, places, vocabulary, key ideas, parts of diagram, 5Ws
• Comprehension
Eg: find meaning, transfer, interpret facts, infer cause & consequence, examples
• Application
Eg: use information in new situations, solve problems
• Analysis
Eg: recognize and explain patterns and meaning, see parts and wholes
• Synthesis
Eg: discuss "what if" situations, create new ideas, predict and draw conclusions
• Evaluation
Eg: make recommendations, assess value and make choices, critique ideas
Analysis, Synthesis & Evaluation are considered as HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills)
In the order of hierarchy
8. Strategies
• Redefine your views (willingness to consider alternative views).
• Focus on determining Fact from Fiction
• Question quick fixes
• Trust your intellect (however do monitor your ego & rigidity of opinions)
• Look from different points of view (perspectives)
• Stay tuned with your emotions
