Ok here I think is a good topic, one which is seldom written in the textbooks.
Question: How do you train staffs on critical thinking?
By critical thinking I mean doing away with I see therefore I copy mentality.
By critical thinking I mean not just accepting a number or a statement as a fact because it was given by someone else. By critical thinking I mean understanding first the assumptions before using and re-using formula or an equation. Can that be taught? Looking forward to your comments.
Note: There are obviously two concerns here. One is the skill (which I want to focus on), and the other one is the will (I dont want to think, I rather be spoon-fed). Which case do you encounter more?
