Specialized Training Center | Analytical Thinking

Introduction

This highly participative Analytical Thinking online training course will help delegates understand the process of reasoning and help them in order to enhance the participants’ ability to solve problems and make better decisions based on facts.

This training course seeks to provide you with ability to tackle complicated issues by evaluating information you’ve gathered and organized. The course is designed to fine tune analytical thinkers and help so they can detect patterns between datasets that often lead to creative solutions.

This training course also presents the delegates with the insights into Critical thinking, especially Paul-Elder Critical Thinking Framework, where he has defined Critical thinking is that mode of thinking – about any subject, content, or problem — in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully taking charge of the structures inherent in thinking and imposing intellectual standards upon them (Paul and Elder, 2001).

Goals

Participants will learn:

Projecting improved performance by understanding the reasoning process.
Knowledge of the differences between critical and analytical thinking.
Effective implementation of critical thinking process.
Ability to raise vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely.
Knowledge of how to gather and assess relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively.
Help your team and organization find creative solutions to everyday challenges.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

Techniques of analytical thinking.
Skill to use the critical thinking tools.
Understand the Higher levels of Thinking – Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Flexibility to adapt to new situations by the use of analytics.
Knowledge of Paul Elder’s Framework.

Training Methodology

The course will combine presentations with interactive practical exercises, supported by video materials, activities, and case studies. Delegates will be guided through practical and real-life scenarios engagements and exercises using various case studies, and projects. The delegates will be presented with the successful outcomes of analytical and critical thinking implementation.

TRAINING SUMMARY

This training course covers essential skills of analytical and critical thinking in order to teach the delegates on how to achieve better results through the decision making based on the data and facts and to verify these decisions apply in the environment they are working in through the use of critical thinking framework. This is crucial towards inspiring team members to achieve organizational goals and influencing individuals to support the team direction.
