Critical Thinking and Communications in Practice. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Feb 2009, Pages: 284
Critical thinking, encompassing the processes of
deductive and inductive reasoning, analysis of
arguments, and evaluation, is now a much more
important component of a superior
education. This book is designed to help readers
acquire some of the skills either in or outside of a
classroom. In this book, critical thinking is
defined in its broadest sense. It includes not only
those subjects that are often taught in an
elementary-level philosophy or composition course
such as logic and analysis of arguments, but also
subjects such as effective listening, oral and
written communications, teaming, metacognition,
creative thinking, and information literacy. The
chapters are arranged into three sections: critical
thinking, communications, and a personal
critical thinking plan. The critical
thinking section contains chapters on logic,
developing and analyzing arguments, information
literacy, and creative thinking. The communications
section covers vocabulary, writing, speaking,
listening and team skills. The last section is
dedicated to helping the reader develop a critical
thinking plan.
