Critical Thinking and Problem Solving are among the most valuable skills in today’s fast-paced and information-rich world. This course is designed to help learners sharpen their reasoning abilities, make sound judgments, and tackle challenges with confidence and clarity. Through engaging lessons, you’ll learn how to question assumptions, analyse information objectively, and make better decisions in both personal and professional contexts.

The course begins with an introduction to the principles of critical thinking — what it is, why it matters, and how to develop the mindset of a rational thinker. You’ll then explore the foundations of logic, understanding how reasoning works and how to recognise common fallacies that often distort decision-making. Each lecture builds your capacity to evaluate information, avoid biases, and strengthen your analytical thought process.

Next, you’ll master problem-solving frameworks such as the IDEAL model, PDCA cycle, and 5 Whys technique — powerful tools used by professionals across industries. The course also introduces practical decision-making strategies like SWOT analysis and pros-and-cons evaluation to help you weigh complex options effectively.

You’ll discover how to apply critical thinking to real-world situations, from evaluating media content and recognising misinformation to improving creativity and innovation in the workplace. Interactive examples and case studies ensure that what you learn can be immediately applied to your studies, career, or daily life.

By the end of the course, you will be equipped with the tools to think independently, solve problems creatively, and communicate ideas logically.
