Good source for students developing academic skills.
Such an important skills for PGCE students in gaining an understanding on how to critical in regards to their own experiences and literature
A good practical guide to support students developing theur critical thinking. Especially useful for first year.
Helpful for students who have come back to learning following a break
Very good book for learners to assist them with their HE study skills.
I will personally recommend this textbook to those students who take the BEd4 Capstone module. As an introduction to research techniques this text gives an insight into all the necessary elements related to critical thinking.
This is an excellent book to promote reflective practice and personal problem solving. It helps to establish useful, indeed essential, habits that improve information processing and professional understanding. Highly recommended.
An extremely well written books with many practical applications.
Whilst I found elements of this book useful, in relation to critical evaluation, it is aimed at those undertaking a programme on education studies. Where this tio have been available when I studied my PGCE, I would have found it invaluable.
Criticality is a difficult concept, and any text that will help to exlain this concept is welcomed
