Running head: 10 STRATEGIC POINTS The 10 Strategic Points Ingrid Quinn
Ten Strategic Points Comments or Feedback Broad Topic Area Description of how mathematic faculty members describe how higher education students attain critical thinking skills and what mathematic faculty members do to improve higher education students’ critical thinking skills through their course teachings. Lit Review Introduction to background/gap According to Heidari & Ebrahimi, (2016), one of the limitations for the present research is completing the California critical thinking skills test as being time- consuming, with complex explanations. The study by (Tiruneh, Verburgh & Elen, (2014) attempted to explain why some instructional interventions end up having a greater gain in critical thinking than others. The researchers did this by analyzing the existing empirical evidence. This study had a limitation of not having a design which is not systematic for the purpose of instructional interventions which are in line with design principles which can be considered valid empirically. All these things point to a gap that requires further research. The research by Nold, (2017), shows that it is possible to
improve students’ self-assessed skills in multiple key abilities that have been linked to success both in the classroom and workplace. The researcher recommended that more research is needed in this area due to the way he used one faculty for the study and the sample size used was small to make strong findings which are accurate. Further research should include a sample which is more representative of all the college students in different subjects with the use of technique in the study applied in multiple members of the faculty Theoretical foundation Bloom's taxonomy Bloom's taxonomy is a classification system used to define and distinguish different levels of human cognition, i.e, thinking, learning, and understanding. According to this model, learning how to think critically involves six masterly complex cognitive skills that include, comprehension application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation (Rahman & Manaf, 2017).

throughout the years, it is believed that it can lead to higher academic performances ( D’Alessio, Avolio & Charles, 2019) Teachers as leaders - Managers, aspiring managers, and top- level leaders are concerned with developing the competencies they need to become more effective leaders ( Sturm, Vera & Crossan, 2017) . Leadership in higher education is key in contributing positively or negatively to the success of higher education students. This theory is directed to faculty members on the importance of leadership. Poor leadership competencies can affect how higher education students attain critical thinking skills. Problem Statement It is not known how mathematic faculty members describe how higher education students attain critical thinking skills and what mathematic faculty members do to improve higher education students critical thinking skills through their course teachings Research Questions R1: How do mathematic faculty members in higher education describe how higher education students attain critical thinking skills?
R2: How do mathematic faculty members in higher education describe what they do to improve higher education students’ critical thinking skills through their course teachings? Sample Location: State of California United States Target population: of members of the faculty in institutions of higher learning in the state of California in United States. The target population for the study are members of faculty in higher institutions that teach mathematics courses in the state of California. Sample: study will use ten participants for the interviews and 45 participants for the individual open ended questionnaires Describe Phenomena (qualitative ) or Define Variables/H ypotheses (quantitativ e) Phenomenon: To understand how mathematic faculty members describe how higher education students attain critical thinking skills and what mathematic faculty members do to improve higher education students’ critical thinking skills through their course teachings. Methodolog y & Design This study will use the qualitative methodology and qualitative descriptive design. Purpose Statement The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study is to investigate how mathematics faculty members in the state of
California describe how higher education students attain critical thinking skills and what mathematic faculty members do to improve higher education students' critical thinking skills through their course teachings. Data Collection Approach Open ended Questionnaires- personalized questionnaires will be tailored for mathematic faculty members, Interviews- The interviews will be done one on one with members of faculty Data Analysis Approach Data collected through interviews will be audio recorded, transcribed, coded, analyzed to determine themes. questionnaires are analyzed using descriptive statistics and coding/thematic analysis on open-ended responses.
