Results

How can we achieve good results from people if they do not gone through situations that would have assisted them in the thinking process to solve problems?

pretesting

I think pretesting is good for the student and the instructor because the students strengths and weakneses in the course can be identified very early.

Multiple Intelligences

I find it facinating and stimulating to deal with a variety of different intellectual groups in a class.

Effective Power Point Slides

I have found that by sharing my Power Point slides with some students who are having a hard time understanding or learning new material acts like a"scaffold" for them to learn better!

Relevance

A good judicious review and demonstrating to the student the relevance of the material learned will go a long way towards helping the student retain what they have learned

Lop-sided classroom

Hate it when in a small class you have a group of visual learners and one tactile learner, its a task to teach to a group like this and keep all interested in the material....

Recognizing a learning style

Being able to recognize the many differing learning styles that might be in one class is important so that after explaining a concept, for those who need a more concrete explanation, you can draw on other methods or ways to explain a theory

Think therefore...

In my role as an Instructor, it is important yto me that my students learn to think critically. In the medical laboratory we are searching for answers to why the body is acting in a certian manner. All of the body systems do not always function as intended. My students have to be very analytical in their approach to their craft. I would like to know how other fields can relate to this lesson. What role do you feel critical thinking plays in the Major that your stiudents are taking?

Value of critical thinking

I think critical thinking expresses our values, our objectives, and assumptions. It involves expression and observations of a thinker.

problem solving is the main job of an RN. RT, or MD.

This is very important for us in clinic and for our students to trouble shoot all the problems than can happen in a particular situation. We teach them how to approach step by step to a problem and how to solve it and it is different from all other jobs because we are dealing with the people life.

Critical thinking is very important steps for those students who work

Critical thinking is very important for those students who work in intensive care units and deals with saving the patients life. As an instructor working for 42 years with critical patients I feel successful if my students reach to critical thinking and step by step solving the problem and save that patient.

Multiple intelligence

The selection of the course was very helpful for me because now I know that even a person has six different kind of intelligence s but they are all working together and they are not separate from each other. Now I am using these knowledge in my own critical thinking

Has anyone experienced with a student that even though you lecture and do hands on activities on the subject at hand, they still have trouble getting it? Whats some work arounds that?

When the "light comes on"

I have had some students who just don't get it. I sit down with them and explain it in different ways and you can see by the look on their face when they get it. The Light comes on"

Timing is very important factor for the critical thinking.

The important idea that I learned in this module is timing and flow of information to the student, giving to much information and less time for processing of the information is not to good for the critical thinking.
