Key Concepts and Questions
As you read the text and work through the MindEdge Modules, you'll want to pay particularly close attention to the information regarding the following key concepts:
1. To think within a discipline or profession means to think through the content of that field by understanding the fundamental concepts, the central questions, and the particular point of view expressed by those associated with the discipline or profession.
2. To enhance their learning in any field of study, students should apply the elements of reasoning to think within the logic of a subject. This enables students to see the overriding structures which organize all the content details around central questions and concepts, and through a particular point of view.
3. Students should understand how the disciplines are influenced by their interaction with the everyday world and by the shortcomings of human fallibility in the individuals practicing within a discipline.
4. Students should grasp the importance of becoming critical consumers of information and apply critical thinking to the status quo of any discipline or profession.
