Critical Thinking -- article & links

[D]

Hello all,

I do agree with article's headline and ask myself:  "Critical thinking is more important than ever. How can I improve my skills?".

https://theconversation.com/critical-thinking-is-more-important-than-ever-how-can-i-improve-my-skills-252517?

There are a number of links at the bottom of the page above (copied below) -- try them out & share with your colleagues/students if you find them helpful.  And share your own Ethiopian examples.

The Edx & Coursera (free signup) courses are free to Audit, for example:

"Use online resources

There are many accessible tools for developing critical thinking. Kialo (Esperanto for “reason”), brings together people from around the world on a user-friendly (and free) platform to help test our reasoning in a well-moderated and respectful environment. It is an excellent place to practice the giving and taking of reasons and to understand alternative positions.

The School of Thought, developed to curate free critical thinking resources, includes many that are often used in educational contexts.

There’s also a plethora of online courses that can guide development in critical thinking, from Australian and international universities."

Regards,

Deborah
