Critical Thinking

Overhead

What are the questions we use in critical thinking?

·       Where did the information come from?

·       What could we explain with it?

·       How is this explanation similar to others?

·       Why is it different?

·       What are the causes for something?

·       What does something cause?

·       What is the chain of causation?

·       Who benefits

·       Who, or what idea, would be disturbed by a change?

·       What is someone's competence

Different information needed in the occupational hierarchy:

Abstract information

   Ownership:       Determining the company's values and long term goals

   Administration:       Operationalize goals creating schedules

   Development:       Problem solving. Come up with ideas to meet schedules

   Execution:         Do the work

Factual information to operate

Today, jobs get more complex.

Profit centers, for example, often combine some form of ownership, administration, development and execution

What happens to people who can only memorize information?
