Thinking skills and ethical judgment are needed in all areas of business, and instruction in these areas should be included in business communication courses. Authorities on the teaching of thinking generally agree that instructional objectives should cover creative and critical thinking skills, as well as the dispositions that enhance the use of those skills to solve problems and analyze issues. Ideally, business communication textbooks would provide the explanatory and exercise materials required to teach thinking skills and ethical judgment, but seldom do. This means that instructors who wish to include such instruction will have to develop their own supplemental materials. One approach instructors can follow is to (1) read one or more textbooks on thinking to become better acquainted with the relevant principles and approaches; (2) provide students with explanations of important principles and approaches in creative thinking, critical thinking, and ethical judgment; and (3) revise assignments, directions, and the class discussion format to emphasize thinking skills after consulting a list of thinking skills objectives. (Included is a list of thinking skills and ethics objectives adapted for business communication.) (HOD)
