Critical Thinking Skills: A Key for Successful Student Learning Outcomes in All Disciplines
The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is a key component of the SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) requirements for Reaffirmation of Accreditation. The purpose of the QEP is to enhance the programming and services for our students to create an environment more conducive to learning. The QEP is an ongoing process that should complement the institution’s planning and evaluation process (Institutional Effectiveness).
It is our determination that the role of critical thinking is the key to successful learning outcomes for all Angelina College students. This has been evidenced in our Student Success (STSU 0100-0300) course where critical thinking is introduced to our incoming freshmen.
The focus of our QEP includes the following goals: (1) Establishing a common understanding of critical thinking among college administration, faculty, and staff (2) Implementing critical thinking skills across the curricula and (3) Ensuring Angelina College graduates will be able to apply critical thinking skills and strategies in their academic, professional and personal lives.
