Critical thinking and problem solving are important skills in any field. Seneca’s Core Literacies define Critical Thinking as “the exploration and examination of issues, ideas, artefacts, and events before accepting or forming an opinion and/or reaching a conclusion.” And Problem Solving is “the process of designing, evaluating, and implementing a strategy to answer a question or achieve a desired goal.” When we think critically and problem solve, we come to a solution by applying a variety of thinking skills in a systematic manner. We question biases and assumptions, and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses. For more information visit:
