校内各教学单位：
教学工作坊是由教师教学发展中心组织开展的主题工作坊，主要选取我校教师感兴趣的教学话题和教学工作中需要解决的教学问题，以主题报告—小组讨论—小组分享形式开展，欢迎广大教师参与。
一、总第2期工作坊主题：如何培养学生的思辨能力（Critical Thinking: How to Prepare Students for a Changing World）
二、主要内容：
在人才竞争激烈的时代背景下，国内外教育专家一致认为培养学生的思辨能力是高等教育的重要任务之一。《国家中长期教育改革和发展规划纲要》（2010—2020年）中特别强调：“面向全体学生、促进学生全面发展，着力提高学生服务国家服务人民的社会责任感、勇于探索的创新精神和善于解决问题的实践能力。”思辨能力正是创新能力的基石。
本工作坊旨在帮助教师概览国内外学者对思辨能力的研究，进而分组讨论如何应对课堂上存在的大学生“思辨缺席症”，从而通过学科间的交流借鉴帮助教师获得如何培养学生思辨能力的启发。工作坊将邀请美国英语学会（ELIC）吉林大学负责人Kristalyn Omland女士参加，探讨比较中外教育中学生思辨能力培养策略异同。
Facing the fierce competition of elite talents, educators home and abroad consider it a crucial task in higher education to develop students’ critical thinking skills. The Outline of China’s National Plan for Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development (2010-2020) emphasizes that we must adopt a learner-centered approach, promote the overall development of students and help them develop a sense of social responsibility, innovative spirit and good problem-solving skills. Critical thinking is the foundation of innovation.
This workshop will focus on international and national research in critical thinking, discuss in groups how to deal with students’ inability to think critically during class, and provide an overview of the conversation between interdisciplinary educators as to how to develop such skills in students. The workshop will invite Ms. Kristalyn Omland, Jilin University ELIC Team Leader, who will explore the differences between strategies to develop critical thinking skills in China and overseas.
