Some of the stage one exploring skills include; Open ended questioning, silences, focusing, empathy, paraphrasing, structuring and summarising. Stage two is about Helping the client Establish Aims and Goals.The primary purpose being to facilitate the client in developing an objective understanding of their situation. Here the helper/listener assists the client/speaker explore their options and possible goals. By establishing what the client/speaker really wants and needs they are then encouraged to consider new perspectives and possibilities auctioning those that are realistic. By assisting the client/speaker to develop rational decision making process they can then go on to make decisions and deal with situations themselves as they arise.
Reflection on action is as described above where one contemplates in retrospect. Reflection is largely about self development t as it adds to your knowledge and also challenges beliefs and concepts that you may hold. Reflection is only effective if one follows through with action. 1.2 Analyse the rationale for reflective practice It is human nature that we generally learn from experience, once we have had and experience we naturally observe and reflect on it, through this we form concepts/beliefs and then we test this out in new situations, this goes round in circles each time our view/concepts are being changed as we experience new things. In this cycle self-observation and evaluation helps to understand one’s own actions and to refine one’s practice on an ongoing basis for the benefits of the communities being served.
For each set of learning materials list the strengths and weaknesses for analysis. During the analysis, the trainer can decide if new materials need to be created based upon the training criteria and factual information. Break the information into separate parts and analyze components to look for interrelationships. Use the information to solve problems in demonstrations to help trainees relate the details in context. Role playing is another method to ensure the new information is retained by trainees.
Working with sensors will yield facts, cut and dry. Intuitionists will bounce around involved in ideas and possibilities. T or F: Making Judgments Just as there are two ways of perceiving information, there are two ways of making decisions. Thinking is logical and analytical while Feeling is subjective and personal. Where thinkers value the principles and rules, feelers consider the people affected by the situation.
Overall, I have learnt about the rhetorical description strategies, such as connotation, angle of vision, and others. These techniques allow to reveal those aspects that appear relevant to the framework of the negative or positive narration and, at the same time, to leave those details that are irrelevant out of the focus of
* It just makes sense to me. * The facts speak for themselves. * I am going to check that off my list. Implications for learning What does being a "logical" person like this mean to you as you attempt to learn new things? As a logical learner you are naturally inclined to want to understand something rather than just memorizing facts.
); action; (what needs to be done next, how? ); seeking alternatives; keeping an open mind; viewing from different perspectives; thinking about consequences; testing ideas; seeking, identifying and resolving questions. Own values, beliefs systems and experiences may also affect working practice, reasons why could include; experiences that affect approach to working practices, for example, motivation, conformity, cooperation, consistency, respect, fairness, creativity, previous experiences of learning; self-awareness of values and beliefs; ways own
Logic and Perception The way in which logic relates to critical thinking is that once you use the critical thinking process to identify the problem, you have to use logic to ensure you choose the right solution when it comes to reaching your final decision. Critical thinking involves knowledge of the science of logic, or the nature of correct thinking, which includes correct reasoning. A person who uses critical thinking must understand the source of knowledge, and the nature of truth. Without using logic the answer that is chosen could be an ill logical choice. Logic allows you to examine the situation and reach a clearer solution to a problem, question or situation.
Strategies to Develop Critical Thinking Skills Critical-thinking strategies that will help you and the discussion participants dig deeper include full-spectrum questioning, making connections, and honoring multiple perspectives. With these tools, you can add a deeper dimension to a dialogue that is “wallowing in the shallows” of a satisfactory, conventional approach or an unexamined vocabulary. You can also address critical issues of unexamined beliefs or assumptions that might block the path to productive thinking, or explore the reasons for these beliefs/disbeliefs through analogies, without arousing defensive reactions. By implementing digging-deeper strategies, then, you lay open for examination the rationale and implications of participants’ contributions, and you move beyond advocacy of positions to consideration of the “why” aspect of propositions or claims that are held to be valid. Critical thinking varies according to the motivation underlying it.
offers a unique approach to critical thinking that emphasizes not just how to evaluate arguments but how to construct them. In addition to examining the most common features of faulty reasoning. Good Reasoning, Mailers! introduces students to a variety of argument schemes and rhetorical techniques th.n will help them craft arguments for any audience, specific or universal'. Exercises and examples from a variety of sources encourage students to consider views and perspectives they might not otherwise be exposed to.
