Developing Student Criticality in Higher Education

Undergraduate Learning in the Arts and Social Sciences

Critical thinking is a major and enduring aspect of higher education and the development of criticality in students has long been a core aim. However, understandings of criticality are conceptually and empirically unclear. The book combines a well developed conceptual discussion of the nature of criticality appropriate for the twenty-first century, the extent to which it is attainable by arts and social science undergraduates, and the paths by which it is developed during students' higher education experiences. Drawing upon empirical accounts and case studies of teaching and learning in different disciplines, this book critically analyses higher education curriculum and policy documentation to explore higher educational processes, encouraging a re-evaluation of practice and educational values, and enabling the development of curricula which incorporate systematic attention to the development of student criticality. This book proposes a rounded conceptual vision of criticality in higher education for the twenty-first century.

In this chapter we focus on criticality development in student writing. We start from
the assumption that the extent and nature of student criticality depends partly on
the intellectual and personal resources that students bring to university, but that ...

Teaching modern languages at primary school

approaches and implications

First, in a psycholinguistic research study Yelland, Pollard and Mercuri (1993)
compared two matched groups of monolingual English children beginning Grade
l at primary school in Australia. ... Totally monolingual children not unnaturally

denotes, whereas even young children at the beginners stage of foreign-
language learning quickly pick up that this is not so, and thereby learn something

Eating in the Light of the Moon

How Women Can Transform Their Relationship with Food Through Myths, Metaphors, and Storytelling

Teaches women to free themselves from eating disorders by finding the metaphors hidden in their own life stories

Our minds can play all kinds of tricks on us, but out bodies never lie. If we are
listening only to the promptings of our minds and not listening to the messages
from our bodies, we can be easily tricked into thinking that we are hungry for food
when it is something else we desire. And so we eat and we eat. Before we know
it, the plate is empty, the pot scraped clean, and we are left feeling dissatisfied
and angry at ourselves for having been so foolish. The ability to distinguish
between ...

Mindful Leadership: Emotional Intelligence Collection (4 Books)

This digital collection, curated by Harvard Business Review, offers four books on the topic of emotional intelligence, found by bestselling author Daniel Goleman to be twice as important as other competencies in determining outstanding leadership. In Primal Leadership, With a New Preface by the Authors, the authors show that great leaders excel not just through skill and smarts, but by connecting with others using emotional intelligence competencies like empathy and self-awareness. The best leaders are “resonant” leaders—individuals who manage their own and others’ emotions in ways that drive success. In Resonant Leadership, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee provide an indispensable guide to overcoming the vicious cycle of stress, sacrifice, and dissonance that afflicts many leaders and offer a field-tested framework for creating the resonance that fuels great leadership. And in Becoming a Resonant Leader, Annie McKee, Richard Boyatzis, and Frances Johnston share vivid, real-life stories illuminating how people can develop emotional intelligence, build resonance, and renew themselves. Finally, HBR’s 10 Must Read on Emotional Intelligence presents 10 articles by experts in the field of emotional intelligence, all of which will inspire you to monitor and channel your moods and emotions; make smart, empathetic people decisions; manage conflict and regulate emotions within your team; react to tough situations with resilience; better understand your strengths, weaknesses, needs, values, and goals; and develop emotional agility.
