Description

Most people would agree that critical thinking is vital in the workplace, as it enables employees to effectively solve problems and make decisions. This thereby offers more valuable contributions to your organization. However, critical thinking requires a strong sense of self-awareness and a keen understanding of how to systematically approach situations.


Critical Thinking Fundamentals was designed to help participants arrive at more stable, effective solutions and decisions by learning how to build the skills that are the foundation of the critical thinking process. This includes the ability to reason, to predict consequences, and to evaluate the merit of potential conclusions. Participants will also learn how to apply a consistent thought process to any situation that requires a resolution or action.

How it works

Critical Thinking Fundamentals was designed to help participants make better decisions by learning how to build the skills that are the foundation of the critical thinking process. This program introduces a unique, four-step model to critical thinking built on the premise that effective critical thinking requires the ability to look at a situation from a broad to narrow perspective. Participants are given the opportunity to apply the concept behind this process in a case study.

Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning experience, participants will be able to:

  • Establish a common understanding of what critical thinking is.
  • Identify the foundational attitudes and skills of critical thinking.
  • Provide a four-step process for using critical thinking on the job.
  • Recognize and avoid common critical thinking mistakes.
  • Practice new skills in a low-risk environment.

Uses and applications

Critical Thinking Fundamentals allows participants to learn and apply higher-level problem-solving skills in a low-risk environment. They learn three foundational skills through a four-step process to critical thinking. Those foundational skills include the ability to:

  • Reason and rationalize
  • Predict consequences
  • Evaluate the merit of potential conclusions
