I'm not sure what age group you have or your content area; however, I teach a wide range of adult students in several humanities courses like ethics, politics, and cultural diversity. I often pose updated classic ethical dilemmas, use current day socio-political controversies, and other relevant situations to challenge them to analyze complex sets of information coming from vast numbers of sources for accuracy, biases, motives, and other factors. Hearing this analysis occur in the classroom allows them the opportunity to hear a variety of perspectives on the same issue and has afforded a significant amount of growth in my students and enhanced their ability to apply different perspectives and filters to their decision making processes.
I instruct a class that starts w/ a class of 30 students, what seem to start as a class and ends up being a shop environment. The lab groups that are generated at the beginning of the course resemble the everyday work force that you may see in dealership! These students have to overcome everyday hurdles like, parts ordering time lines and customer concerns. Critical thinking
