Abstract/Summary:
Critical thinking is a crucial skill in society today, and is particularly important in higher education. This study focused on how students that have participated in a specific specialized training used their critical thinking skills in their own lives. The participants were interviewed about their critical thinking experiences, and then the resulting data were analyzed using the Student Leader Learning Outcome Project's Rubric on Critical Thinking by Texas A&M University. The information gained in this study will be useful to future scholars and educators in developing more effective co-curricular programs that promote critical thinking in practical situations.
