Join us for the third and final session of our Critical Thinking Focused Teaching Workshop, hosted by the University of Queensland Critical Thinking Project (UQCTP) and sponsored by the UCLA Department of Philosophy and HumTech.
This session challenges the false dichotomy of teaching for thinking and teaching for content knowledge. We will show that developing deep and complex content knowledge demands attention to how students think, both as they are learning and in how they are using and creating new knowledge. The extent to which we value explicit teaching must carry into the explicit teaching of thinking, and the language and concepts of how this is best done are critical for effective pedagogical discussions. A range of concepts and tools will be discussed that demonstrate practical guides to putting key principles of teaching for thinking into action.
Lunch will be provided to allow for informal conversation, networking, and deeper reflection on these practices.
Space is limited. Please RSVP.
