Critical Condition

Replacing Critical Thinking with Creativity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book challenges long-held beliefs about the benefits of critical thinking, which is shown to be far too linear to deal with the twenty-first century world. Meant as a prompt to further discussion, Critical Condition questions the assumption that every student should be turned into a "critical thinker."
