Foundations for Critical Thinking explores the landscape of
critical-thinking skill development and pedagogy through foundational
chapters and institutional case studies involving a range of students in
diverse settings. Establishing a link between active learning and
improved critical thinking encourages all higher education
professionals, in whatever context, to join the ongoing conversation
regarding the state of today's college students' critical-thinking
ability. Faculty will find strategies for developing successful teaching
techniques to prepare students to face the challenges of a global
economy and lead creative, productive, and fulfilling lives. Staff and
administrators working with students in a variety of capacities will
find insights for moving critical thinking development beyond the
classroom.
