Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Learning Challenge
When: 5th to 23rd September
How does the challenge work?
- A calendar (downloadable below) is provided with daily recommended short videos around the theme of critical thinking and problem solving
- The learner watches the short video each day (all less than 7 mins, most around 3 mins) and at the end of the week, confirms to their learning champion that they have completed all videos
- There is an optional extra to describe a problem in the workplace that they have solved (or been instrumental in solving) – these will be entered for a separate prize
- Learning Champion takes all the submitted entries and submits them to Joanna.bond@gov.ky to be entered into the CSC raffle. We will have various prizes, the grand prize being a session at Cayman’s own escape room “Locked Inn” for the winner & 3 colleagues.
Critical thinking and problem solving are key skills for all civil servants and honing these skills can improve job performance and satisfaction as tricky areas become more manageable and creative approaches spark new innovative ideas.
Before starting the challenge, I would highly recommend reading the article on the Hub from 1st Sepember by Michaela Adams -
"Your brain thinks, but how?" - providing an in-depth look into how the brain works when assessing information and making decisions, as well as providing lots of great tips to make critical thinking and effortless everyday habit.
