Critical Thinking II

Critical Thinking II

Critical thinking is a cognitive process with several attributes. The attributes of critical thinking include the following:

Learning Disabilities

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Critical Thinking I

Critical Thinking I

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...

Long-term Depression

Long-term Depression

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Positive and Negative Feedback Loops

Positive and Negative Feedback Loops

Animal organs and organ systems constantly adjust to internal and external changes through a process called homeostasis ("steady state"). Examples of these changes include regulation of the level of glucose or calcium in the blood or internal responses to external temperatures. Homeostasis requires maintaining an internal dynamic equilibrium:

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Area of Science:

Education
Social Sciences
Communication Studies

Background:

Traditional classroom discussions often center on teacher-led whole-class formats.
Student-centered discourse promotes active engagement and deeper understanding.
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated rapid shifts to remote learning environments.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a middle school program focused on student-centered discourse.
To adapt and implement this program in a remote, technology-supported format.
To identify benefits of this modified approach to discourse.

Main Methods:

Developed and implemented a middle school program emphasizing direct student-to-student communication.
Modified the in-person, discourse-based workshop for remote delivery.
Utilized technology for text-only, remote interactions between rotating student pairs debating social issues.

Main Results:

The remote, text-only format facilitated student-to-student interaction.
Participants reported enhanced comfort in sharing their views.
Anonymity provided by the remote, text-only connection contributed to increased comfort.

Conclusions:

Student-centered discourse can be effectively implemented in remote learning settings.
Technology-supported, text-based interactions can foster greater student comfort and participation.
The shift to remote learning revealed unexpected advantages for student discourse.
