Whether teachers or students, in any workplace, and in personal life, how can we improve our abilities to think critically and effectively?
Through engaging, sample activities David Martin sharpens our abilities to think critically through a range of strategies such as comparison, categorization, organization, and application of logic. A specialist in mediated learning, David talks with us about this theory as it relates to the development of critical thinking including discussion of research results using this approach with both student and adult populations.
Join us for this enlightening presentation!
