There is also a perception that today’s students are technologically "savvy", and appreciate the inclusion of a technological approach to learning. However, the complexity of the concept of critical thinking and the assumptions...

...Reading 1.3-1: What is critical thinking? 1 Reading 1.3-1: What is critical thinking? The world of accounting has changed dramatically over the past 50 years. In 1965, the key skills expected of a new CGA could best be described as ―technical‖ — the application of accounting, auditing, and other related skills to the recording of transactions and the generation of financial statements. However, by the mid-1990s, the notion of competency-based assessment had replaced this older model of skills assessment. The development of a competency map identifying key skills required for the accounting profession indicated that a key skill is the ability to think critically. Simply put, critical thinking is a type of thinking that questions assumptions. The Critical Thinking Community at http://www.criticalthinking.org/ provides the following definition: Critical thinking is self-guided, self-disciplined thinking which attempts to reason at the highest level of quality in a fair-minded way. Critical thinking can be applied to any course in the CGA Program of Professional Studies. It entails the examination of those structures or elements of thought implicit in all reasoning, which consists of Purpose, problem, or question at issue Assumptions Concepts Empirical grounding Reasoning leading to conclusions Implications and consequences Objections from alternative viewpoints Frame of reference ―Critical,‖ as used in the term ―critical thinking,‖ relates to...

...Worldview. This course will include an introduction and application of critical thinking skills, as well as a study of religious and philosophical worldviews, the nature of tolerance and basic apologetic methodology. RATIONALE APOL 104 is designed to deepen and broaden the student’s understanding of the core fundamentals of the Biblical/Christian Worldview, and to equip the student to present that view in the face of competing worldviews. The goal is to enable students to think more clearly and critically about Christianity and truth. It is also the goal to equip Christians to become more effective witnesses and participate more constructively in the larger socio-cultural debate. In order to accomplish this goal, we must (1) understand the essentials of Christian truth, (2) understand the historical opponents to Christianity and truth, and (3) present a biblical, logical, and reasonable defense of Christianity. Through studying worldviews, students can better understand the nature of humanity and individual conduct so that they are prepared to address relevant questions in a culture of relativism. As the apostle Paul states, “Know how you should respond to each person who asks us about such things” Col. 4:6 (NASB). By understanding worldviews, one acquires a powerful form of wisdom that characterized the sons of Issachar, “men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do.” 1 Chron.12:32 (NASB).

...* Module/Week 1 Lecture Notes * Topic: Why Management of Information Systems (MIS) Welcome to the introductory course in the Management Information Systems program. Whether you are taking course as a Business Elective or your required BMIS core, you may find, as the text author states, “Introduction to MIS is the most important class in the business school.” I must agree. An understanding of how Information Systems support a business by helping to build competitive advantage is critical to everyone in today’s technology driven, global business environments. In this module/week, you will be learning about four nonroutine critical skills that make MIS professionals some of the most valuable employees a business has. These four skills are: Abstract Reasoning, Systems Thinking, Collaboration, and Ability to Experiment. Don’t panic at this point thinking you don’t have these skills. Over the period of your BMIS program you will learn these skills. It just happens often without you knowing it. MIS professionals are different than other people. We bridge the gap between technologist (who speak “technobabble”), and users (who speak “businobabble”). That gap widens at a rapid rate, so prepare yourselves for a wild ride. Additionally, this module/week introduces the five-component Information Systems Framework. This provides your first step in learning about Abstract Reasoning and Systems Thinking. It puts information into a “model” (Abstract Reasoning) that helps...

...Martin HRM/531 Example #1 Running head: CAREER DEVELOPMENT PLAN PART 2 Career Development Plan – Part 2 The second part of the development plan will address the training needs for each individual chosen to be a member of my team that will help them achieve the strategic goals for the company. To assess training needs and develop a plan to meet those needs, an analysis needs to be performed on four levels. Analysis needs to be done organizationally to determine what training is needed by employees to accomplish the strategic goals of the company. The next analysis is done on the demographics of the workers. This analysis will ask the question, are there any groups of employees that need specialized training to help them meet the goals. The next analysis should be done on the operation. This aspect will help assess what job specific requirements the employees need to be trained on. The final analysis is done on the individual level and will assess how each individual performs their job and what specific training may be necessary to help them do the job better (Casio, 2005). Organizationally, the strategic goal for InterClean is to become a global leader in providing products and solutions for all their customer’s sanitation needs. For the demographics portion of the analysis, there is no group that needs specialized training. In regards to the operations portion, the focus will be on training for customer service, critical thinking, diversity training, market research...
