EAE&AT Lecture (2) HUM214 Scientific Thinking and Technical Writing Skills Dr. Ahmed Hegazy Introduction: Thinking about the Scientific content of science That break through thinking refers to The set of reasoning the field of science: processes Induction, Experimental Design, Causal Reasoning, Concept Formation, Hypothesis Testing, and so on. Introduction: Ever wonder why 2 people equipped with the same knowledge and background may offer different approaches to solving the same problem? The way one approaches problems and solutions tends to rely a lot on “how” the brain functions in managing and processing information, and a lot less with the facts presented. The type of thinking style that you’ve adopted to work for you dictates the quality of your outputs, outcomes, and future.  Creative thinking is equivalent with ‘thinking A person will focus on outside the box.’ finding a well-defined Creative outcome to come up with thinking a solution to a problem. Those who think Convergent Analytical analytically have a thinking thinking structured and methodical way of Types of approaching tasks. Divergent thinking Thinking Critical thinking Divergent thinkers take the Abstract Concrete When it comes to critical path of exploring an infinite thinking thinking thinking, a person exercises number of solutions to find careful evaluation or judgment. one that is the most effective. An abstract thinker is able to relate For a concrete thinker, it’s seemingly random things with each about practical thinking only, other and make the connections always literal, and to the point. others find difficult to see. Identify your personal thinking Now, as we explored the 7 most common types of thinking, let us identify your personal thinking style and learn how you can get the most out of it. Identify your personal thinking What Thinking Type Do You Identify With? We need to understand how our minds work so we can work our minds better. Would you describe yourself as a logical or a creative person? Are you rational or do you prefer to think in abstract terms? Research shows that the different types of thinking you’ve adopted influences the kind of person you will become. Mark Bonchek (Founder and CEO of Shift Thinking) and Elisa Steele (CEO and president of Jive), co-created a nice (and somewhat fun) framework to help you map out your thinking type. Thinking Types Framework: Step 2: Orientation Problems you Plans you need Actions you People you need to solve? to make? have to take? need to see?

Why Is It Important?  Thinking is the way that the mind makes sense of the world and there is no way to understand anything except through thinking. Whenever we are dealing with human life, we are almost always dealing with thinking.  Simply, it is required to think systemically about our problem to find the solution. Thinking. Why Is It Important? The first step to solving a problem is recognizing you have one. It is with this concept in mind that the authors begin their discussion. The first tenet of systemic thinking which we term the TAO approach, a general approach for increasing our understanding about problems. Think Act TAO Observe THANK YOU
