...Introduction Critical Thinking is a skill that allows readers to evaluate a situation and judge what is right or wrong through the use of logic and reasoning, beyond their own prejudices. According to Ennis (2001): ”Critical thinking is "reasonably and reflectively deciding what to believe or do. Critical thinking means making reasoned judgments. Basically, it is using criteria to judge the quality of something, from cooking to a conclusion of a research paper. In essence, critical thinking is a disciplined manner of thought that a person uses to assess the validity of something: a statement, news story, argument, research”. Critical Thinking plays a an important role in the case study analysis by giving us a foundation for a deeper learning and integration of the reading. Without thinking critically about what we are studying , we wouldn't be able to learn in a meaningful way or we wouldn't be able to learn deeply enough to have our thinking corrected and enhanced. The purpose of this case study analysis paper is to provide the case study background, identify key problems in the study, provide alternatives, propose solutions and offer a recommendation in the case of Carl Robins by utilizing the critical thinking skills. Background The case study presented in front of us is a case study of Carl Robins, a new campus recruiter for ABC, Inc., who in his first recruitment effort successfully hired 15 new trainees to work for Monica Carrolls, the Operations Supervisor (University...

...Training methods lectures demonstration seminar conference panel role planning case studies simulations projects self discovery movies/videos/computer based training mentoring exercise skill lesson Lecture In this method, one person (the trainer) does all of the talking. He or she may use handouts, visual aids, question/answer, or posters to support the lecture. Communication is primarily one-way: from the instructor to the learner. Pros: Less time is needed for the trainer to prepare than other methods. It provides a lot of information quickly when it is less important that the trainees retain a lot of details. Cons: Does not actively involve trainees in training process. The trainees forget much information if it is presented only orally. Demonstration Demonstration is very effective for basic skills training. The trainer shows trainees how to do something. The trainer may provide an opportunity for trainees to perform the task being demonstrated. Pros: This method emphasizes the trainee involvement. It engages several senses: seeing, hearing, feeling, touching. Cons: It requires a great deal of trainer preparation and planning. There also needs to be an adequate space for the training to take place. If the trainer is not skilled in the task being taught, poor work habits can be learned by the trainee. Seminar Seminars often combine several group methods: lectures, discussions, conferences, demonstrations. Pros: Group members are involved in...

The poor performance of students across the country in national and international tests, and the consistent high school dropout rates in both elementary and secondary school levels, underscore the deterioration of the quality of the Philippine schools system. Computer education offers potential for human betterment, at the same time, it is taught with great dangers that neither the potential can be truly realized, nor the danger avoided, without careful far-teaching critical questions being asked about computers in education. It is clear and evident that whatever this eventual outcome, the debate about computers in education is just beginning and is going to be with us for some time. The mathematician, computer scientist, and psychologist, Seymour Papert conducted renowned projects in the 1970’s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with the goal of making children the “builders” of their open intellectual “buildings”. (Harris and Kingston, 2002) It was Paperts intention to design “a computer language that would be suitable for children. It offers extraordinary opportunities to create an environment where one could learn algebra, geometry, problem solving, spelling, and history in ways more likely the informal learning of the unschooled toddler than the educational processes now...
