| Course Learning Outcome | Related Concepts & Activities from this Week’s Material |
| Evaluate the differences between quality research versus wisdom literature. | The learning outcome is related to the concept of the “two systems” approach to human decision-making. This is because quality research calls for reactive thinking as it requires immediate action (Facione & Gittens, 2013). Wisdom literature, on the other hand, is rather abstract and thus requires comprehensive consideration. It thus calls for reflective thinking (Facione & Gittens, 2013). |
| Critique and evaluate research findings and recommendations. | The learning outcome is related to the concept of evaluating comparative reasoning as in Chapter 12 of the week’s material. The evaluation of research findings requires effective comparative reasoning to yield inferences that are comprehensive, testable, simple, productive and clear (Facione & Gittens, 2013). |
| Communicate criticisms of scholarly work in a professional and clear manner. | The learning outcome is related to the concept of evaluating critical thinking and writing in Chapter 15 of the week’s material. Communicating criticisms of scholarly work necessitates the evaluation of the work for effectiveness and soundness. This calls for the interpretation and analysis of the work’s arguments, fallacies, and conclusions in an organized, grammatically correct, and well-voiced presentation (Facione & Gittens, 2013). |
| Synthesize data findings and identify resources to supplement decision making. | The learning outcome is related to the concept of empirical reasoning as outlined in Chapter 14 of the week’s material. Empirical reasoning is hinged on making hypotheses which are testable, collecting the relevant data by experiment or observation, and using the obtained data to (dis)confirm the hypotheses. With empirical reasoning, therefore, the decisions made are evidence-based (Facione & Gittens, 2013). |
| Create frameworks for decision making that include systems thinking and analysis. | The learning outcome is related to the concept of critical thinking as detailed in Chapter 11 of this week’s material. This is because critical thinking entails reasonability, being informed, seeking the truth, and coming to a decision in a timely manner (Facione & Gittens, 2013). Moreover, good decision-making necessitates the analysis of various indicators and to facilitate the making of corrections as deemed necessary (Facione & Gittens, 2013). |
