Professor Ta Kun of STU Business School attended the event upon invitation.
In short, critical thinking is a theory which combines the evaluation, comparison, analysis, criticism and integration of information. The theory was developed in the hope to encourage undergraduates' abilities to distinguish, doubt and create.
Professor David Hitchcock from McMaster University, Canada, and Dr Dong Min were invited to the seminar to share their research findings and experiences in promoting the theory of critical thinking.
