As the new generation comes into the workforce I am seeing issues with critical thinking.  Does anybody have any suggestions for education to critical thinking?  A presentation?  A good class to attend?

    Once, as I was trying to help a student analyze a problem, she commented that she had had three years of college and I was the first person who had asked her to think! I suspect that's the norm.

  • I'll have to do some critical thinking analysis on the subject before getting back to you...   Scott

Does it work? In my experience our recent hires have been like yelling at a dog, it knows it was bad but it doesn't quite understand what it did wrong no matter how slowly you explain it.

I think it develops with experience.   Our older peers said the same thing about us.

That may be because she missed the 4th year of college where she has to start thinking about what to do after she finish school and real life situations.
