As you journey across dimensions of knowledge, you’ll uncover revolutionary methodologies, decipher the codes of powerful questioning, and navigate the astral maze of cognitive biases. And that’s not all! You’ll be armed with tools from the future, enabling you to craft compelling, universe-altering arguments that captivate and persuade in ways you’ve never imagined. Ready for liftoff? The adventure starts here.
| LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Define critical reasoning and its role alongside other higher-order thinking skills: Gain a clear understanding of critical reasoning and its significance in relation to other cognitive abilities. Learn why recognising one’s own critical reasoning approaches is vital for tailoring strategies to individual strengths and weaknesses.
- Identify your critical reasoning approaches: Explore personal critical reasoning approaches, leveraging strengths and addressing weaknesses to enhance analytical abilities.
- Understand how to recognise, build, and appraise arguments and ideas: Develop the skills to recognise fallacies, construct sound arguments, and evaluate evidence effectively. Utilise practical techniques to appraise the validity and cogency of various arguments and ideas.
- Learn to detect inconsistencies in reasoning and arguments: Acquire proficiency in identifying inconsistencies within reasoning and arguments through practical examples and case studies.
- Use tools to approach issues in a consistent and systematic manner: Explore specific tools and methodologies to approach issues with consistency and clarity, enabling systematic analysis and problem-solving.
- Improve questioning skills and apply them to the rational thinking process: Enhance questioning skills and integrate them into the rational thought process through interactive exercises and real-world applications.
- Determine the importance and relevance of arguments and ideas: Develop the ability to discern the importance and relevance of arguments and ideas within various contexts, using examples and scenarios to illustrate effective decision-making processes.
- Reflect on the justification of your beliefs and values to facilitate openness and diminish bias: Engage in self-reflection to critically assess the justification of personal beliefs and values, fostering openness and mitigating biases in the reasoning process. Explore strategies for constructive dialogue and productive self-reflection to enhance critical thinking skills.
