Jacobsen, Anna Liss2018-06-012018-06-01Jacobsen, A. L. (2018, May). How might a psychology professor teach critical thinking? Paper presented at the meeting of Academic Library Association of Ohio (ALAO) DLIG/IIG. Columbus, OH.http://hdl.handle.net/2374.MIA/6247Teaching critical thinking is addressed from the perspective of a psychology professor and a librarian. Methods used to improve student understanding of validity and reliability of sources are examined from the perspective of a classroom and online psychology professor. Lecture material, assignments, and discussions of real-world problems are included with a focus on developing critical evaluation skills as well as impressing upon the students the importance of choosing to be responsible consumers of information. Lessons learned while teaching critical thinking as a psychology professor are applied to the teaching of critical thinking as a social sciences liaison.Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 United Stateshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/Conference Presentation
