Abstract:
The use of 'story' in higher education is obvious in some disciplines such as drama, English literature and other art subjects--but there is story in other disciplines, including nursing, which is often unrecognised and undervalued. When something is unrecognised, we have less power to work with it and exploit its potential. This paper identifies a theoretical structure for the use of story in higher education and provides illustrative examples from nursing and other academic disciplines.

Critical Thinking
Critical thinking involves reflective and productive thinking and the evaluation of evidence. Critical thinkers seek to understand the deeper meaning of ideas, question assumptions, and make independent decisions about what to believe or do. Scientists, for instance, are often critical thinkers. Critical thinking also requires humility about what we know and don't know and the motivation to look beyond the obvious. It is essential for effective problem-solving.
