Darrielle Booth Becoming a Critical Thinker Practice becoming a critical thinker by identifying the habits of critical thinkers. Complete the following steps. 1. Save this file with a new name Click the File tab, click Save As, add your name to the end of the filename, then click Save. For example, save this file as PS3-Y24 Sharon Rodriguez.docx . 2. Get ready Read the following statements and consider whether each one describes a critical thinker. 1. It is unlikely that any overseas tour assistant will ever develop good customer service skills. 2. I assumed that the new tour assistant does not value promptness, but after talking to her, I think that assumption is wrong. 3. Based on my limited knowledge of business management, I recommend additional training for the new tour assistant. 4. I’ll try to help the new tour assistant improve her time and customer management skills. But if that doesn’t increase tour enrollments, I give up. Someone else can tackle this problem. 3. Now you try it In the following space, indicate whether each statement describes a critical thinker. Identify which habit each critical thinking statement demonstrates. 1. It is unlikely that any overseas tour assistant will ever develop good customer service skills. This is a good example of being cynical instead of critical which is counterintuitive to critical thinking. This thinking is negative and shows distrust in the assistants to develop skills necessary to do good business. This does not display critical thinking. 2. I assumed that the new tour assistant does not value promptness, but after You Try It
talking to her, I think that assumption is wrong. This statement showcases critical thinking. The thinker in the statement held an assumption then questioned the assumption by talking to the tour assistant. After talking with her they challenged the assumption and were open to the fact that the assumption could have been wrong. Thus, demonstrating the critical thinking habit “challenge assumptions”. 3. Based on my limited knowledge of business management, I recommend additional training for the new tour assistant. In this example you can tell the thinker is recognizing the limits of their own knowledge and understanding. I think this step could lead to the critical thinking habits test and revise also observe and decide. This is critical thinking. 4. I’ll try to help the new tour assistant improve her time and customer management skills. But if that doesn’t increase tour enrollments, I give up. Someone else can tackle this problem. This is negative and cynical thinking. Critical thinkers should steer clear of becoming negative and cynical when trying to solve problems. Giving up indicates a person who does not have any confidence in their own ability to fix a problem. They are not thinking critically, they are basically resigning to give up if things don’t work out. Submit the document to your instructor as requested.
