The Fourth Industrial Revolution necessitates a shift in higher education towards agile skills, particularly in critical and creative thinking. The demand for these skills is driven by rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, as evidenced by LinkedIn's survey highlighting 'strategic thinking' and 'innovative thinking' among top employer priorities. Implementing critical thinking across curricula can draw inspiration from historical methods, such as those devised by Socrates. These methods, when facilitated by tools that promote questioning, can enhance both critical thinking abilities and assessment of learners' thought processes.
In their annual survey of fastest-growing skills employers are seeking, LinkedIn found "strategic thinking" and "innovative thinking" are near the top of the list around the world.
The Foundation for Critical Thinking traces the history of teaching critical thinking back to Socrates, a method that leads learners to deeper thought and critical consideration of assumptions.
We are well-advised to turn to AI itself in finding methods and modes of promoting learners in areas of critical and creative thinking.
If we had a tool to convey probing questioning to topics throughout the semester, we could build critical thinking skills and assess the learner's thought process.
