Critical Thinking Skills in Everyday Context - The Socrates Model
Thinking Socratically is a treatment of critical thinking, rather than an informal logic textbook. It emphasizes a philosophical reflection on real issues from everyday life, in order to teach students the skills of critical thinking in a commonplace context that is easy to understand and certain to be remembered.
Teaching and Learning Experience
Improve Critical Thinking - Thinking Socratically contextualizes the presentation of critical thinking topics through easy-to-understand information, and shows, rather than just tells, students how to be critical thinkers by encouraging them to follow Socrates as a model.
Engage Students - Thinking Socratically exposes students to a variety of readings listed after expository material, Venn diagrams, chapter-end summaries, etc. - in order to outline important concepts and learning tools needed for useful reasoning.
Support Instructors - Teaching your course just got easier! You can create a Customized Text or use our Instructor's Manual, or PowerPoint Presentation Slides. Plus, Thinking Socratically is organized around topics for ease of assignments, and uses standard terminology to eliminate student confusion.
