Understanding The Process Of Critical Thinking

By Franklin Skribbit


One of the most important skills that any college student can develop is the skill of listening with purpose to others. Not only will this skill of being able to listen to others help these students as they go forward into their professions of nursing, business, or other industry, it will likewise play a critical role in how well they perform while studying to earn their nursing degree or business certification.

While in school especially, those seeking their nursing degrees or other college level education will be taught mostly through seminar and lecture oriented courses wherein a college professor, usually a doctorate holder themselves, will instruct pupils according to the content of the course. This style of education is one of the best ways for experienced educators to teach others the skills and necessities of the profession or discipline that they themselves have mastered.

With proper test taking preparation the actual day of the test can be made as least stressful as possible. When a student is properly prepared to take their test, they can feel confident that no matter what their final score is they performed to the best of their ability, and rarely is a person's best not enough to allow them to pass whichever course they are being tested in.

So the issue then becomes properly preparing for the examination. The very first step that a student must take to fully and properly prepare for their test day is to begin early, very early, in fact.

Whether they are pursuing an education in business or a nursing degree, those college students who strive to employ critical thinking while writing their research or midterm essays will be able to write stronger and more effective papers. Thinking critically and writing, at least in this instance, are closely tied together.

In the initial phases of mastering how to clear the mind from other distractions, a person may wish to consider changing their environment in order to improve their chances of listening success. Moving away from the door, for example, which can open and close repeatedly during a lecturer causing a distraction each time, can help to increase the effectiveness of the listening environment.

After a person has learned how to focus on the speaker by eliminating both external and internal distractions, they can then turn their listening skills to develop analytical listening, or thinking about what is being said as it is being said.

Listening to a speaker while thinking on the material they are speaking about can help a student focus of what is being taught and how it ties into what has previously been taught or previously knowledge the student possesses.

In the weeks leading up to the exam and on the day of the exam especially, a student should strive to be as healthy as possible as this will help their mind focus and run effectively. Being healthy includes eating a well-balanced diet that will give the student energy, exercising regularly (one will be surprised at what a difference regular exercise can have on their mental function), and getting enough sleep.

By fully preparing all semester long through study and living a healthy lifestyle, a nursing student will be able to properly prepare for the day of their exams.
