Why A Critical Thinking Mini-Guide? This miniature guide focuses on of the essence of critical thinking concepts and tools distilled into pocket size. For faculty it provides a shared concept of critical thinking. For students it is a critical thinking supplement to any textbook for any course. Faculty can use it to design instruction, assignments, and tests in any subject. Students can use it to improve their learning in any content area. Its generic skills apply to all subjects. For example, critical thinkers are clear as to the purpose at hand and the question at issue. They question information , conclusions, and points of view. They strive to be clear, accurate, precise, and relevant. They seek to think beneath the surface, to be logical, and fair. They apply these skills to their reading and writing as well as to their speaking and listening. They apply them in history, science, math, philosophy , and the arts; in professional and personal life. When this guide is used as a supplement to the textbook in multiple courses, students begin to perceive the usefulness of critical thinking in every domain of learning. And if their instructors provide examples of the application of the subject to daily life, students begin to see that education is a tool for improving the quality of their lives. If you are a student using this mini-guide, get in the habit of carrying it with you to every class. Consult it frequently in analyzing and synthesizing what you are learning. Aim for deep internalization of the principles you find in it—until using them becomes second nature. If successful, this guide will serve faculty, students, and the educational program simultaneously.

The Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking Concepts and Tools
Why Critical Thinking? The Problem: Everyone thinks; it is our nature to do so. But much of our thinking, left to itself, is biased, distorted, partial, uninformed or down-right prejudiced. Yet the quality of our life and that of what we produce, make, or build depends precisely on the quality of our thought. Shoddy thinking is costly, both in money and in quality of life. Excellence in thought, however, must be system- atically cultivated. A Definition : Critical thinking is the art of analyzing and evaluating thinking with a view to improving it. The Result: A well cultivated critical thinker: • raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely; • gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively; • comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards; • thinks openmindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and • communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems. Critical thinking is, in short, self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking. It requires rigorous standards of excellence and mindful command of their use. It entails effective communication and problem solving abilities and a commitment to overcome our native egocen- trism and sociocentrism.

According to Laws of The Republic Indonesia Number 12 in 2012 about Higher Education article 5, one of the main purposes of higher education is to promote the potentially development of students in order to be man of faith and fear of God Almighty and noble, healthy, knowledgeable, skilled, creative, independent, skilled, competent, and cultured for the sake of the nation. Therefore, the students of higher level should be promoted to have critical, reflective and analytical abilities. Although students at university levels should be able to develop this kind of thought, thinking critically is not simply acquired; it ought to be promoted and practiced constantly trough effective aids. A useful mean to foster critical thinking in this context is reading, and more specifically comprehension reading game " Brain Teasers ". Reading without comprehension is simply word calling. Effective comprehends not only make sense of the text, but are also able to use the information it contains. They are able to think thoughtfully or deeply and to make personal connections as they analyze and question what they are reading, hearing, and seeing. Studies showed that developing students' abilities to take critical literacy boldness when reading texts is an important aspect of literacy instruction. Interpreting texts through a critical literacy lens can help students become aware of the messages that texts communicate; who should receive privileges; and who has been or continues to be oppressed. As students learn how to engage in critical

As a philosophy professor, one of my central goals is to teach students to think critically. However, one difficulty with determining whether critical thinking can be taught, or even measured, is that there is widespread disagreement over what critical thinking actually is. Here, I reflect on several conceptions of critical thinking, subjecting them to critical scrutiny. I also distinguish critical thinking from other forms of mental processes with which it is often conflated. Next, I present my own conception of critical thinking, wherein it fundamentally consists in acquiring, developing, and exercising the ability to grasp inferential connections holding between statements. Finally, given this account of critical thinking, and given recent studies in cognitive science, I suggest the most effective means for teaching students to think critically.

Critical thinking is an intellectually disciplined process of actively and skilfully conceptualising, applying, analysing and evaluating information gathered from or generated by observation, experience, reflection, reasoning or communication, as a guide to belief and action. To accomplish these critical thinking actions good language ability is crucial. Vygotsky revise great importance to the link between the development of language and critical thinking. This is a correlational research in which 30 MA Students of Azad University of Shiraz branch were selected as participants. California Critical thinking skills questionnaire was used to collect the data in this research. Results indicated that there is significant relationship between mother tongue and critical thinking level, but there is no significant relationship between age, gender and critical thinking level.

This study was intended to investigate the effectiveness of teaching critical thinking on students' writing performance and their critical thinking dispositions. To this end, 140 students were selected. 73 students were assigned to the experimental group and 67 were assigned to the control group. The experimental group received instruction in critical thinking strategies whereas the control group did not. The instruments used in this study were the researcher-developed essay test, the Ennis-Weir critical thinking essay test, and the California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory (CCTDI). A 2-group pretest/posttest quasi-experimental design was utilized to determine the outcome measures. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent-samples t-test. Statistically significant differences were observed in the experimental and the control groups in the total scores of the three instruments. The results indicated an improvement in students' writing performance and their dispositions toward using critical thinking strategies. Nonetheless, some dispositional aspects such as truth-seeking, cognitive maturity, and open-mindedness did not differ significantly after the intervention.

Learning using 1:1 mobile devices is a partnership between the user and the curriculum, where learning interventions are strategically integrated to foster critical thinking skills for effective problem solving. The purpose of this research study is to explore the question, How can 1:1 mobile technology be used to develop critical thinking skills and support creativity? The skill of problem solving is evidence of applied critical thinking during targeted learning. The literature review and focus group results, contextualise and aim to demonstrate how learners are using 1:1 mobile devices to develop critical thinking skills to achieve problem solving outcomes. Engineering courses that are using problem orientated design-based learning and are allowing students to use 1:1 mobile devices, need to support students by including targeted learning interventions. Learning interventions using active learning (self-directed learning) principles that are designed to teach critical thinking skills to achieve higher order problem solving outcomes for ‘real world’ solutions. Focus group results are included in this research study to highlight students’ perceptions when using 1:1 mobile devices for learning as evidence of applied critical thinking skills.

Critical Thinking in Everyday Life
This tool is part of a larger evaluation system used to measure the life skills of decision making, critical thinking, problem solving, goal setting, communication, and leadership. The life skills (i.e., decision making, critical thinking, communication, problem solving, and goal setting) selected for this overall measure were thought to be the most commonly identified life skills emphasized in 4-H youth development curricula and program activities. Critical thinking is defined as thinking that evaluates reasons and brings thought and actions in line with evaluations. This survey will assesses youth's critical thinking ability by examining the frequency of use of the following skills that are needed to think critically: reasoning, inquiry, analysis/information processing, flexibility, and evaluation.

Root cause analysis (rca) and critical thinking training course (on-demand).
Dublin, Aug. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Root Cause Analysis and Critical Thinking Training Course" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This one-day course introduces delegates to different RCA and critical thinking problem-solving tools and techniques which are then applied throughout a series of highly interactive and practical exercises putting these theories into practice to apply a systematic end-to-end process for analysing problems and decision making.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is the process of discovering the root causes of problems to identify solutions. When used with critical thinking, the ability to think clearly and rationally, understanding the logical connection between ideas this provides a highly effective method for identifying the source of faults, failures, decision-making, and undesired outcomes for processes. This approach is extremely effective when used by the pharmaceutical and associated healthcare industries to solve problems. In addition, RCA procedures with the application of critical thinking are an increasing focus by regulatory inspectors.
Often organisations waste a great amount of time and money in fixing the symptoms of a problem, rather than the problem itself. Using Critical thinking applied to RCA will enable you to solve problems far quicker, and much more effectively.
This training course is part of a collection of trainings which focus on leadership, innovation, strategy, communication, finance, problem solving and conflict management, to name a few key areas.

Title: mini-omni: language models can hear, talk while thinking in streaming.
Abstract: Recent advances in language models have achieved significant progress. GPT-4o, as a new milestone, has enabled real-time conversations with humans, demonstrating near-human natural fluency. Such human-computer interaction necessitates models with the capability to perform reasoning directly with the audio modality and generate output in streaming. However, this remains beyond the reach of current academic models, as they typically depend on extra TTS systems for speech synthesis, resulting in undesirable latency. This paper introduces the Mini-Omni, an audio-based end-to-end conversational model, capable of real-time speech interaction. To achieve this capability, we propose a text-instructed speech generation method, along with batch-parallel strategies during inference to further boost the performance. Our method also helps to retain the original model's language capabilities with minimal degradation, enabling other works to establish real-time interaction capabilities. We call this training method "Any Model Can Talk". We also introduce the VoiceAssistant-400K dataset to fine-tune models optimized for speech output. To our best knowledge, Mini-Omni is the first fully end-to-end, open-source model for real-time speech interaction, offering valuable potential for future research.

New Samsung Study: For Nearly 70% of Gen Z Side Hustlers, AI is Critical to Success
Discontent with workplace convention, young professionals are following new career paths as ai phones and pcs emerge as game-changing tools.
The youngest generation in the workforce is transforming career path norms – and AI is emerging as a catalyst for the shift, according to new research from Samsung.
Based on a survey of Gen Z (n=5,048) and Gen Z side hustlers (n=2,004) across France, Germany, Korea, the UK and the US, The 2024 AI-Preneur Effect : How Gen Z and Next-Gen Tech are Transforming Work Culture reinforces the upward trend of entrepreneurial pursuits among this generation.
Nearly one in two full-time Gen Z professionals said the realities of their jobs have fallen short of expectations. This might explain why 73% of Gen Z are dreaming of starting a side hustle with many having already pursued opportunities outside of their full-time role in the last year. More surprising, however, is the significant role of AI in the growing side hustle culture. For Gen Z, time is one of the biggest barriers to operating or starting a side venture — and many are leveraging AI to overcome this challenge.
Among the entrepreneurial respondents were personal trainers, content creators, and artists, among others. While professional fields varied, the majority agreed when it came to using AI. Nearly 70% of Gen Z side hustlers said they consider AI to be the go-to resource when they need help in work – even greater than the 62% majority of the global cohort who reported the same mindset.
Of those who use AI in their day-to-day, side hustlers are using it to summarize documents or meeting notes, conduct research or find inspiration, and develop new written or visual content. The majority of Gen Z respondents feel optimistic toward the potential of AI, also citing a strong preference for AI tools embedded into the devices they already use, like smartphones and PCs .
“These findings show AI has become pivotal for young entrepreneurs and offer a glimpse into how the technology can open – not close – new skills, new passions and, ultimately, new career paths,” said Stephanie Choi, EVP and Head of Marketing for Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Enabling this type of potential is what drives the cutting-edge innovation in our latest Galaxy Book AI PCs — and that’s only the beginning of what is to come as we continue unlocking AI’s life-changing potential for even more users around the globe.”
Many young entrepreneurs (40%) are dependent on PCs to run a successful side hustle and even more (83%) recognize the importance of seamless connectivity between devices. Earlier this year, Samsung opened a new era of possibilities with Galaxy AI — integrated into PCs that connect intuitively with Galaxy phones for the creativity, productivity and mobility required for this emerging work-lifestyle.

Methodology Samsung partnered with independent market research firm Edelman Data & Intelligence and Dynata to conduct a five-minute global online survey of n=5,048 Gen Z respondents and n=2,004 Gen Z side hustlers in France, Germany, Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States from May 2-16, 2024. The survey was fielded among Gen Z respondents, who were defined as adults ages 18-27, and data was collected to ensure a representative sample in each market by age, gender, region and race/ethnicity. Gen Z side hustlers were defined as those who in the past year have earned supplemental income and followed their passions through work or activities outside of their main job or education. The total Gen Z side hustlers sample of n=2,004 was comprised of n=681 from the main Gen Z sample plus an oversample of n=1,323 Gen Z side hustlers. The study has a margin of error at the 95% level of confidence of ±1.4% for Gen Z respondents and ±2.2% for Gen Z side hustlers. Results from surveys may be limited, not exhaustive, and based solely on surveyed individuals, not the entire group.
