Helping Students Process Content: Tactics

In this clip from the October 25th, 2025 webinar, "Teaching: Helping Students Learn to Think Critically Within and About Subject-Matter Areas," Dr. Gerald Nosich discusses tactics for helping students to process content in class. This video touches briefly on one or a few aspect(s) of an overarching body of theory known as the Paul-Elder Framework for Critical Thinking, and its content must be understood in the broader context of this framework. You can become more familiar with our approach to critical thinking through other videos on this channel, and through our websites (see below). For over 40 years, the Foundation for Critical Thinking – along with its sister organization, the Center for Critical Thinking – have worked toward the advancement of critical societies.
