{"product_id":"think","title":"THiNK","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll critical thinking texts aim to make their students critical thinkers for life  but unlike other texts  THiNK was written from the framework of understanding that students approach their worlds from a place of opinions and feelings. Judith Boss begins by proposing three stages of critical thinking development: Dualism: thinking things are either right or wrong; Relativism: accepting that not everything is right\/wrong  and subsequently thinking all opinions are equally valid  and finally  Commitment:choosing a position based on careful reasoning. Judith Boss has found that the majority of her students come to class in the relativism stage. THiNK guides students to the final stage of critical thinking development by showing students the importance of overcoming their feelings and opinions to commit to positions based on reason and logic. In the process  students learn to apply critical thinking to their every day lives. This innovative program provides instructors with scholarly yet succinct content on critical thinking and logical argumentation in a format that is portable  current  and captivating. With extensive opportunity for application and practice  and groundbreaking digital content (Connect Critical Thinking)  THiNK directs students to make connections between skill development and application to their college studies  careers  and personal lives. Connect Critical Thinking is a first: a learning program with pedagogical tools that are anchored in research on critical thinking.
