Coursework
In this course, we will review and discuss primary critical thinking theory, solidifying basic understandings of these foundations and contextualizing them to reach deeper levels of comprehension. We will tailor much of this coursework to each participant’s needs and strengths, as well as to their educational, professional, and personal purposes for pursuing certification.
The critical thinking foundations at the heart of our certification process include the Elements of Reasoning, Intellectual Standards, Intellectual Virtues, the three categories of questions, ethical reasoning, and egocentricity and sociocentricity as natural barriers to critical thinking development. You will have significant autonomy in selecting readings from our works that illuminate these concepts, and you will be assessed on your ability to state, elaborate upon, and exemplify each one.
