Systemic Practice and Action Research SPARR) is dedicated to critical systems thinking and its applications and building an understanding of the complexities of modern society.
The course first introduces systems thinking and its application to public health.
Students will demonstrate deep understanding of systems thinking and its application to public sector planning and management issues.
Analysis of actual case scenarios using root cause analysis may foster students' critical thinking and application of 'best practice' principles in complex clinical situations.
The researchers, working both independently and together, helped advance the thinking and application of neural networks, the technology that gives computers the ability to recognize patterns, interpret language and glean insights from complex data.
Encouraging students to respond to each other and the instructor in ways that demonstrates critical thinking and application of course concepts can also promote higher level cognitive skills (Davis and Snyder 2012; Lawton et al. 2012).
Meaningful learning activities, such as developing problem-solving skills, critical higher-order thinking, and application of knowledge, representing the kind of skills needed in practice, also require interaction among students (Bates, 2015; Breivik, 2015; Sams & Bergmann, 2013).
This may still not be enough motivation if as sometimes happens, the majority of the questions require recall of facts rather than critical thinking and application of knowledge.
This supports existing literature and suggests that international students may not be as well adjusted to the self-directed learning style that requires critical thinking and application of knowledge [ 32].
