The Thinking Effect, Episode #11, How can teachers empower students to make the best decisions?
Making decisions is not an easy task. In fact, making decisions can be a complex and taxing thinking process. So much so that often adults are stuck in an analysis paralysis situation as they fear making the wrong decision.
As we constantly need to make decisions throughout our lives, struggling with performing this thinking task has a huge negative impact on our lives. It means we cannot move forward with our lives, and it prevents us from achieving success in life.
But, this doesn’t have to be the case.
Do you know that making decisions is a skill that can be developed like any other skill?
You can learn to make decisions, just like you learned to ride a bike. It’s as simple as that.
And you can teach your students this essential skill as well.
By combining the power of your logical and analytical brain with a well-defined process, you can make great decisions more quickly and with confidence.
Learning how to make decisions is all about gathering the correct information, knowing what criteria to choose to assess the different paths you can take and weighing the facts against those criteria.
