Hi all,
I very much enjoy reading the posts on Freud. I see Freud as a lightning rod for discussions that help to clearly distinguish different approaches to understanding human nature. I see him as a central figure in "academic" psychology, especially in the United States, because of the enormous influence his ideas have had on the formation and development of several major fields of psychology. Many psychologists in the past have taken pains to respond to Freud's ideas, either in opposition to them or in (usually partial) acceptance. The influence of these psychologists have come down to us in the present day. I wish I had more time right now to contribute, but I have another topic that I would like input on.
I am trying to develop a course for college instructors that deals with how best to teach students to think critically about course material. One goal of this course is to help instructors understand better the various definitions of and theories about critical thinking. A second goal is to help them to develop specific techniques for teaching students to think critically in their courses. A third goal is to teach them about how best to assess changes in students' critical thinking.
Has anyone tried to develop a similar course? Do you have suggestions about what should be included in such a course?
Thank you for any help you can give.
Jeff
