X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p><strong>Diane Halpern</strong> | Dean of S
 ocial Sciences at Minerva Schools at KGI and McElwee Professor of Psycholog
 y at Claremont McKenna College<br /><strong>Title |</strong> Teaching for C
 ritical Thinking: The Why of Higher Education<br /><strong>Abstract<br /></
 strong>The data are clear: we can teach critical thinking skills so that th
 ey generalize across domains and last long into the future. Our primary goa
 l as instructors is not anything that happens in our classes or on our camp
 us. The sole reason we have universities and other formal settings for lear
 ning is the belief that whatever is learned in these buildings will be appl
 ied in some other setting where we are not present\, such as the workplace 
 or at the home or in the community. How can we teach critical thinking for 
 transfer? In this presentation we will identify those critical thinking ski
 lls that we want to develop in our students and discuss ways to enhance the
 ir learning and probability of transfer as well as how to assess critical t
 hinking to know if we have been successful in achieving these goals.</p>
