Aprašymas

A practical guide to applying critical thinking skills to various disciplines in the arts and humanities.

This textbook provides a multidisciplinary introduction to critical thinking skills as applied to the arts and humanities. It includes fifteen case studies, each based on research conducted at University College London to illustrate critical thinking skills within a specific discipline, guiding students through the research process, and offering inspiration and examples for wider research design and practice. The case studies are introduced by a summary of the main concepts and skills and the research methodologies applied. Accompanying exercises provide opportunities to apply the skills illustrated in the study to real-world contexts. This book avoids promoting a view of critical thinking as a set of generic skills that apply across academia. Instead, it encourages students to understand the skills they will be expected to apply in their own study of the arts and humanities. Approaches to knowledge vary across academic disciplines--and this book equips students with the ability to think critically in their own work.
