Developing your Critical Thinking: An Essential Skill for Work and Life
This series of videos is a partnership between Western Sydney University Library staff, academic educators and entrepreneurs.
Each video aims to show in an age of rapidly changing information landscapes what exactly are critical thinking skills and how can you as a student and future graduate improve your critical thinking skills.
But what is critical thinking and why is it so important? Using the Paul-Elder Critical Thinking model this video helps us define exactly what skill elements you can work on to improve your critical thinking and how to apply these skills to improve your success as a student. Also ethically using generative AI is a great way to refine and adapt your critically thinking.
By better understanding critical thinking and information skills you will gain knowledge into how you can develop these skills in yourself. In this video we learn this is what many workplaces need, employers require and society will benefit from.
