What, Why, and How? CRITICAL THINKING 2 Definition and rationaleBreaking down critical thinking into categoriesBloom’s Taxonomy Applying higher and lower levels of thinking in writing

WHAT IS CRITICAL THINKING? - Critical thinking is a set of skills designed to help the thinker analyze, assess and question a given situation or reading. - Critical thinking skills push the thinker to reject simplistic conclusions based on human irrationality, false assumptions, prejudices, biases and anecdotal evidence. - Critical thinking skills give thinkers confidence that they can see issues which are complex and which have several answers and points of view and that opinions and insights can change with new information. WHAT DO CRITICAL THINKERS DO? * Consider all sides of an issue * Judge well the quality of an argument * Judge well the credibility of sources * Create convincing arguments using sound evidence and analysis * Effectively recognize and use ethos (ethics), pathos (empathy) and logos (logic) in argument WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? People will listen to and respect critical thinkers with these abilities because… Considering all sides of an issue means they are open-minded, informed, and mindful of alternatives and other points of view. Judging well the quality of an argumentmeans they can effectively identify and evaluate another’s reasons, assumptions and conclusions and not be fooled into believing false or unsubstantiated claims. Judging well the credibility of sourcesmeans they can recognize and present the most reputable, trustworthy and convincing evidence. Creating convincing arguments using sound evidence and analysismeans they can formulate plausible hypotheses and draw conclusions which are thoughtful and verifiable. Effectively recognizing and using ethos, pathos and logos in argumentmeans they construct well-crafted points using a balance of morality and ethics, consideration and empathy for others, as well as sound and logical reasoning.

HOW DO I USE CRITICAL THINKING? Breaking down into categories how to analyze a topic or text (one written by you or another author) will help you examine it thoroughly and critically. Use the guiding questions to assist you: Clarity: Is it understandable and can the meaning be clearly grasped? Is the main idea clear? Can examples be added to better illustrate the points? Are there confusing or unrelated points? Accuracy: Is it free from errors or distortions—is it true? Do I need to verify the truth of the claims? Is credible evidence used correctly and fairly? Is additional research needed? Precision: Is it exact with specific details? Can the wording be more exact? Are the claims too general? Are claims supported with concrete evidence? Relevance: How does it relate to the topic or assignment? Does it help illuminate the topic or assignment? Does it provide new or important information? Who does the content have the most relevance for? Depth: Does it contain complexities and delve into the larger implications? What are some of the complexities explored? What are some of the difficulties that should be addressed? What are the larger implications or impact?

HOW DO I USE CRITICAL THINKING? Breadth: Does it encompass multiple viewpoints? Do I need to look at this from another perspective? What other people would have differing viewpoints? Do I need to look at this in other ways? Logic: Do the parts make sense together and are there no contradictions? Do all the points work together logically to prove one clear argument? Does one paragraph follow logically from the next? Does the evidence directly prove the main points? Significance: Does it focus on what is important? Is this the most important aspect to consider? Which of the facts or points are the most important? Does it examine a larger significance? Fairness: Is it justifiable and not self-serving or one-sided? Do I have any vested interest in this issue that can affect my reaction? Is personal bias or a hidden agenda driving the point? Are the viewpoints of others sympathetically represented?

PRACTICE Use this chart to help you apply these critical thinking categories to a particular text or topic: (Pause)

Bloom’s TaxonomyBenjamin Bloom, a well-respected American educational psychologist, headed a group who developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior important in learning. The image of the pyramid gives a visual of how lower level thinking builds up to higher level thinking. This hierarchy shows how a critical thinker can build upon and consciously employ multiple levels of thinking and learning:

PRACTICE Using Bloom’s Taxonomy to Analyze a Text When you analyze a text, you want to be able to employ all of the levels of thinking. Let’s take a look at a passage from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. I was now about twelve years old, and the thought of being a slave for life began to bear heavily upon my heart. Just about this time, I got hold of a book entitled The Columbian Orator. Every opportunity I got, I used to read this book. Among much of other interesting matter, I found in it a dialogue between a master and his slave. The slave was represented as having run away from his master three times. The dialogue represented the conversation which took place between them, when the slave was retaken the third time. In this dialogue, the whole argument in behalf of slavery was brought forward by the master, all of which was disposed of by the slave. The slave was made to say some very smart as well as impressive things in reply to his master—things which had the desired though unexpected effect; for the conversation resulted in the voluntary emancipation of the slave on the part of the master. Continued…

PRACTICE Using Bloom’s Taxonomy to Analyze a Text—Continued Either using this passage from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass or your current reading assignment, fill in an example sentence (in the white boxes below) that demonstrates each level of thinking. An example has been included for each level to guide you. (Pause)

APPLYING THE LEVELS OF THINKING IN YOUR WRITING Now that we have looked at the hierarchy of low level to high level thinking, you as an academic writer want to make sure that your writing includes and is lead by the higher level skills of analyzing, evaluating and creating and does not get stuck solely in the lower levels of remembering (defining and repeating) and understanding (reporting and summarizing). In academic writing, you want a balance of higher and lower order thinking but be sure to LEAD the paper with higher order thinking so reporting and summarizing does not take over your paper. EXAMPLE Here is a paragraph from the sample essay on Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. The higher levels of thinking are in bold and the lower levels of thinking are not:

PRACTICE Identifying Higher and Lower Levels of Thinking Using this paragraph from an essay written on The Autobiography of Malcolm X, underline the parts that demonstrate higher order thinking: The diligence and persistent effort Malcolm X showed in learning to read has become disappointingly rare. Malcolm X in his autobiography tells us that when he went to prison, he could hardly read or write. He decided the way to improve would be to copy the entire dictionary word for word by hand. He said to copy just the first page alone took an entire day. The next day he reviewed all the words he did not remember, so he slowly built his vocabulary, and at the same time he started educating himself about the larger world as he describes the dictionary as a “miniature encyclopedia” (2). Malcolm X carried on until he copied the entire dictionary cover to cover. However, the time he dedicated to his writing was not confined to this amazing achievement alone: “Between what I wrote in my tablet, and writing letters, during the rest of my time in prison I would guess I wrote a million words” (2). The dedication to his own education and how he strengthened his own intelligence and abilities through sheer force of will is impressive but unfortunately is the exception rather than the norm. In Generation Me, the author Jean Twenge addresses the present generation of people who have been taught to put themselves first and expect instant results without working hard to achieve them. Twenge states: “They are less likely to work hard today to get a reward tomorrow—an especially important skill these days, when many good jobs require graduate degrees” (157). If people are less willing today to work hard, then we are going to have increasingly uneducated, lazy people who spend more time complaining than achieving. With a lack of education we won’t be strong critical thinkers so will be easily taken in by people who want to exploit us for profit like advertisers and corporate America. Instead of defining who we are, people who want to sell us things will continue to shape our wants, desires and perceptions of ourselves. (Pause)

What is a Design Thinking Process and How to Present It?

Just as the title suggests, Design Thinking or DT (how we’ll abbreviate it at times throughout this article) is a process that can also be referenced as an ideology, a methodology, and even a framework. By the end of this article, these facts will be more precise. 

This article includes a definition of design thinking, its main advantages and disadvantages, the necessary steps to present design thinking process results to your coworkers, and even a couple of case studies for real-life application. At the bottom section of this article, you can find a selection of slide templates tailored for presenting design thinking processes. 

Table of Contents

What is Design Thinking?

• Advantages and disadvantages of applying a design thinking process

Step 1 – First, think about the precise content you’ll need to include

Step 2 – state the need being solved, step 3 – the process that led to defining the problem as such, step 4 – the ideation phase.

• Step 5 – Getting feedback from your coworkers
• Step 6 – Presenting the prototype
• Step 7 – Testing results
• Step 8 – Debating the experience

Case 1: Developers creating a banking app with an easier-to-navigate UI than current competitors

Case 2: teachers releasing a new online course based on previous student experiences, suggested design thinking templates at slidemodel.

Design thinking is a user-centric approach whereby the people executing it look for “alternative solutions to various problems.” These are truly complex issues. 

Still referencing our previously-linked definition, DT looks for “a deep understanding of the user, challenging the ongoing assumptions, and redefining problems.” As Berlin-based CareerFoundry says, DT is “all about solving complex problems in a user-centric way.”

A design thinking process in the case of a corporation, especially, allows a company to work on complex issues. They do so by “taking the processes and approaches that designers use and applying them to problems that designers don’t typically encounter,” says Camren Browne for CareerFoundry. 

A design thinking methodology can bring great results to a company by effectively dealing with problems that seem impossible or truly difficult to solve. 

Advantages and disadvantages of applying a design thinking process 

The first clear advantage of applying a Design Thinking process is how effective and innovatively a problem can be solved. That also spreads out to the creation of an innovative culture. This can mean a significant competitive advantage for any company or a standing-out point for any group. Take into account all the benefits of a bottom-up approach as part of these advantages. 

Since this methodology is user-centric, another primary benefit is how well it tends to end-users. 

As for the cons, time constraints might be worth mentioning. This method can take months to implement. And the need for user input must also be counted. As for a last-third disadvantage, consider how this innovative, user-centric ideology can clash with other beliefs or strategies. It can impact other systems or measures already in place within an organization or culture. 

How to create a Design Thinking Process Presentation Step-by-Step

As we mentioned, follow the steps below to present design thinking process results to your coworkers. 

For this, consider the 5 stages of design thinking, which are: 

Consider each step carefully. 

For the empathy stage, talk to your users. Get to know them. Then carefully consider everything they tell you. You’re looking to empathize with them here to truly grasp what they need, how they feel, their concerns, likes, and dislikes. 

What insight can you get from observing them? You’ll need to include your findings first in your presentation. 

Accompany the above with due research. What you find on the side is also essential to your design thinking methodology. 

Bear in mind you’ll also need to signal a problem you’ve chosen as your primary area for improvement. We’ll get to that point next, but contemplate how you’ll need to express your ideas clearly, every single thought around solving the specific problem you chose. A prototype will also be required, mentioning its respective testing. We say this so you can prepare for all the content you’ll need to include in your presentation. Once you’ve gathered everything related, it’s time to think about the second step. 

Clearly state what it is you’re solving. You’re on the definition stage here for phase two. For it, be precise on what ultimate problem you defined as the main one to solve. Expand on the exact necessity for which you require a solution. This can also be seen as your problem statement. Center on your core trouble here. 

If it helps, come up with personas in this process. Doing so can help stay centered on the user experience.

As you express your choice, you’ll need to elaborate on how you reached that conclusion. Elaborate on the exact process that made you decide on a specific problem as the one requiring your attention. Include your reasoning, the roadblocks or obstacles you noted, and how you think this main problem will be the one addressing a broader complexity worth solving. 

Now that you’ve defined exactly what the work ahead is, it’s time to start asking questions. This is what we call the ideation stage. The goal is to develop new ideas, so throw the ball around! For that, focus on the problem at hand and ponder about it. Seek to change your perspectives as you do so. You can also look for different ideation techniques to help you out here. Our creative thinking article can be of help. 

However you go about it, let yourself think freely on this step. Group and foster free-thinking. You’re looking for innovative approaches and thinking outside the box. No thought is ever too silly to consider in this process. 

On the contrary, stimulate wild thinking, especially by clearing the most senseless solutions out of the way early. Once you’ve brainstormed and considered all possible solutions, decide on the best new thoughts you have on the matter. Portray those in your presentation.

Step 5 – Getting feedback from your coworkers

Then, take your analysis outside your group to get further feedback from your peers. Get as much insight into your proposed ideas as possible. Be open to this criticism; you want everything anyone has to so you can continue thinking about your proposed problem and solution. 

Take out of this session what seem to be the best thoughts and work with these on a prototype, which you’ll present next. 

Step 6 – Presenting the prototype

Bring this forth as engagingly as possible. You can present a prototype, and have it function in front of your audience, present a demo, show pictures, or create images…be as compelling as possible as you bring your work forth.  Avoid using buzzwords and communicate clearly.

Note that your solutions should act clearly in what you present here as a prototype. And, just in case, consider how this is still part of a very early stage in your entire development process, so keep costs as manageable within your budget as possible. You can do imaging or paperwork on this to get to a cost-effective prototype that will allow your design process to evolve. 

Step 7 – Testing results 

For prototyping, of course, you’ll have engaged in the last of the five design process steps: comprehensive testing. Bear that in mind; you’re still testing ideas and results. 

For your presentation, consider how to best present the data you’ve gathered so far and everything you’ve been able to determine based on your testing. For your slide presentation, also cover how you’ll apply any corrections that may be needed on your intended product or service. Make sure you do that based on research, as well. 

Step 8 – Debating the experience

And then open the room up for discussion. As you did for the feedback stage, be open and seek critical evaluations. Conduct this debate to lead you to specific, actionable items. Group suggestions to allow you to move seamlessly through your design thinking cycle. Remember, this is a process, a methodology, and, as such, it isn’t static. 

On the contrary, you’re looking to test your chosen problems and allow yourself to move back and forth between stages to make improvements. You’re expected to need alterations and to go back to a particular stage to refine your process. As a thought process, the main goal is to provide alternative solutions based on your continuing findings. Be flexible in this approach. You might also find our Critical thinking to achieve business goals article to be of help. 

Case Studies: Hands-on examples of design thinking processes

Below you can see two case studies where we consider how to apply design thinking process presentations for excellent results.

Imagine you have a group of developers working on a new app in the banking industry. Pleasing users, especially millennials , will require much work understanding their needs. Yet, an excellent job at a more engaging and fulfilling user experience with this app can quickly generate a competitor advantage in a very competitive field. Banking needs to modernize, and the latest tech is here to help. But, for that, a lot of outside-the-box thinking is required.

Product thinking as a problem-solving technique can help designers during product planning. In this case, the design thinking process needs to center on users and how the product, along with all its features, will be developed to excel at meeting user needs. 

Step 1 – Think about the content to include

In this case, a product-thinking PowerPoint template can help. The material is suited with a creative process flow diagram, for example, to make the visualization of the DT process easier to see. It should ease how you collectively look at the bigger picture. You can also edit the template to suit your design preference with the tools you find in the world of procreate brushes . This presentation would focus not only on the target audience, answering clearly who exactly needs the product, but it also integrates how you’ll get it working as you present your proposed solution. As a third critical step, the template is ready to state expected outcomes, which will act as the groundwork for new feature development.

Consider the current state of the banking website’s platform. How does it help customers to solve their needs, and how many services does it offer (paying utility bills, investments, etc.).

Observe what your competitors are doing and what your customers require to improve their lives.

This step should start by auditing your current performance on digital platforms, how much time the average user spends online, errors reported, etc.

Document each element that gives extra information on the issue to solve. It will support your project as a reference on why you took a decision or not.

Step 4 – The Ideation Phase

Let’s assume the team of developers behind the app project offer the bank three different mockups of what the app would look like. The mockup idea comes after a brainstorming session with the banking team, where these points were covered:

• Color scheme to meet the institutional design
• Loading time for the app
• Security stages for login
• Validation methods for the transactions processed
• Information to display on the home screen
• Troubleshooting screens and how to contact support
• Menu designs

After two tentative versions of the app are created for a test environment, it’s time to submit the app to an extended group of workers at the bank institution. They will test the app and give the developers and product managers feedback.

A meeting between the different departments involved has to happen, with a presentation to brief on the initial findings. After there’s consensus on which version to go for, then the developers will release a test version to a selected group of “potential customers” – people that will experience the app as end users, without revealing sensitive data to competitors.

Step 7 – Testing results

The “potential customers” will perform extensive tests on this app, reporting their findings to the developers and any user experience feeling to the product managers from the bank.

This ensures that customers get an interactive experience when using the app, with a product tailored to their needs.

With the conclusion from the testing team, it’s time for the bank to review its experience with this app creation process. Not just the end-result product, but also which areas of this process could be improved, what key points can affect other processes, etc.

It’s a rich experience to help the team grow, think outside the box, and come up with new, creative results for the organization.

Moving from the corporate world into the classroom, we’re considering all those webinars we could’ve created for an online audience. They probably work wonders as online courses students can take at any point! Yet, prior experiences with our students sometimes shape our new content, making it more ideal for our classrooms with every iteration. In those cases, we can easily make those processes visible. 

For that, consider this design thinking PowerPoint template . The slide template is filled with fully-editable PowerPoint vectors and focused on a process whereby you understand, create, and deliver. 

There are ten professional slides to allow teachers to fully convey the iterative and cyclical steps that have taken their material to what it is today, rather than seeing content production as a linear sequence. The diverse and differently-colored graphs are a great guide to display your material, aside from being a compelling design that accurately portrays the movement in the design thinking process that has led to all of your new online course material. 

For this group of teachers, their need is to attend to those students that cannot be present for a live course. This could be either because of health-related issues, work schedules, or even students from far distant places from the University.

The process of defining this problem can be tackled from these points:

• Surveys led by the University to gather data on students’ work situation, living conditions, health conditions, etc.
• Surveys led by the University on the quality of the courses being taught. This also implies which areas could be improved for those courses.
• Requests made by students in the past 3 years about changing an evaluation date, or schedule for the course and similar adducing conflicts with their work situation.

Multiple ideas can come up from this need. For starters, the teachers can opt to make a course out of recorded webinar sessions pertinent to a course being taught at the moment. Like an in-depth session for those students who wish to know more about the subject.

Another option could be to record the lessons while giving the live lecture as usual, which involves adapting the classroom to fit cameras, microphones, sound-insulation for better audio quality, etc.

And finally, they can opt to work twice as hard, giving the face-to-face course as usual, plus record the entire course in a dedicated room tailored for video production, with a whiteboard or similar nearby.

The teachers opted to gather in a meeting to discuss the potential of this project. Some teachers could raise questions about working extra hours to produce the content. Others may feel there are areas lacking attention, such as how to respond to the questions raised by students.

Finally, the teaching crew of the University voted for the webinar-into-course option, since it’s already recorded material and would only require minor editing sessions to put the material together into a landing page.

A meeting is held to present the potential platform for the students, how to log in, how to interact with teachers/other students for tasks or questions, and how to browse the video lessons.

A selected group of students will test the platform for a three-week period. After that, they will report the experience based on these key points:

• Platform’s usability
• Errors and bugs to report
• Video & audio quality
• Content quality
• If the online learning process enriched their education or not

With the test results shown in a report presentation, teachers can now debate the quality of the end-product created, the process that created the course, and how to improve it for future instances.

Design thinking is a process that teams can use to understand their users, challenge assumptions, redefine problems and create innovative solutions to prototype and test. The process involves five phases: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test. At SlideModel, we don’t just have a single design thinking template .
