Abstract:

Critical thinking is a soft skill that can give researchers a leg up by driving thinking to be more disciplined and active. Strong critical thinking skills can help throughout the research process, from defining the problem to the presentation of the results. 

In this webinar, Susan Frede, Research Director at Aimpoint Research and Owner of Frede Research, will define critical thinking and discuss the following:

- Activities involved in critical thinking

- The gap between employers' and students' perceptions of critical thinking

- Techniques to develop the necessary critical-thinking skills
