The session was conducted by Mr. Anand Kulkarni, Sten Corniche, who provided students with valuable insights into the importance of critical thinking and problem-solving skills in academic, personal, and professional life. The session focused on equipping students with practical approaches to deal with complex situations, make informed decisions, and develop a solution-oriented mindset.Objectives of the SessionThe session was organized with the following objectives:To create awareness about the importance of critical thinking and problem-solving skills.To develop students’ ability to analyze situations logically and objectively.To encourage students to identify the root causes of problems.To develop decision-making and analytical skills.To encourage students to consider multiple perspectives before reaching conclusions.To promote creativity, innovation, and a solution-oriented approach.To prepare students to handle academic and real-life challenges effectively.Session ProceedingsMr. Anand Kulkarni explained that critical thinking is the ability to analyze, evaluate, interpret, and question information before accepting it as valid, while problem solving involves identifying a problem, understanding its causes, generating possible solutions, and selecting the most appropriate course of action. The students were encouraged to avoid making decisions based solely on assumptions or incomplete information. Instead, they were guided to collect relevant facts, ask appropriate questions, examine different viewpoints, and evaluate the available alternatives. The session emphasized that critical thinking is not about criticizing others but about developing an objective, logical, and evidence-based approach to thinking.Problem-Solving ProcessThe students were introduced to a systematic approach to problem solving:Identify the ProblemThe first step is to clearly understand and define the actual problem rather than addressing only its symptoms.2. Collect and Analyze InformationStudents were encouraged to gather relevant facts and examine the available information carefully before making decisions.3. Identify the Root CauseThe importance of identifying the underlying cause of a problem was explained. Addressing the root cause helps prevent the problem from recurring.4. Generate AlternativesStudents were encouraged to think creatively and develop multiple possible solutions instead of immediately selecting the first available option.5. Evaluate the AlternativesEach alternative should be evaluated based on its advantages, disadvantages, feasibility, consequences, and available resources.6. Implement the SolutionThe most suitable solution should be implemented systematically with appropriate planning and responsibility.7. Review the OutcomeStudents were encouraged to evaluate whether the solution successfully addressed the problem and to make improvements wherever necessary.Critical Thinking in Academic and Professional LifeThe session highlighted that critical thinking is an essential skill for students in their academic journey. It helps them understand concepts more deeply, analyze case studies, interpret data, question assumptions, and develop independent opinions. In professional life, these skills are useful for decision making, teamwork, leadership, financial analysis, management, customer service, project management, and handling workplace challenges. Students were encouraged to develop the habit of asking “Why?â€�, “How?â€�, “What evidence supports this?â€�, and “What are the possible alternatives?â€� before reaching conclusions.Interactive and Practical LearningThe session encouraged students to approach problems through practical examples and real-life situations. Students were motivated to participate actively, express their opinions, listen to different perspectives, and work collaboratively to arrive at solutions.Such activities helped students understand that effective problem solving often requires a combination of logical reasoning, creativity, communication, teamwork, and decision-making skills.Formal ExplanationCritical thinking and problem solving are important components of 21st-century skills and employability competencies. Academic knowledge alone may not be sufficient to address the complex and dynamic challenges faced in personal and professional environments. Critical thinking enables students to distinguish facts from assumptions, assess the reliability of information, and make reasoned judgments. Problem-solving skills enable them to convert these judgments into practical actions. Therefore, developing these competencies at the undergraduate level can help students become more independent learners, effective decision makers, responsible professionals, and confident individuals.Outcomes of the SessionAt the end of the session, students were able to:Understand the meaning and importance of critical thinking.Recognize the relationship between critical thinking and problem solving.Identify problems systematically and analyze their root causes.Evaluate information and alternatives before making decisions.Develop logical and evidence-based thinking.Generate creative and practical solutions.Improve decision-making and analytical abilities.Understand the importance of teamwork and multiple perspectives.Apply problem-solving approaches to academic and real-life situations.ConclusionThe session on “Critical Thinking and Problem Solvingâ€�, conducted by Mr. Anand Kulkarni, Sten Corniche, was informative and highly relevant to the overall development of students. The session encouraged students to approach challenges logically, question assumptions, analyze available information, and develop practical solutions. Overall, the programme contributed significantly to skill development, analytical thinking, decision-making, creativity, employability, and holistic student development.
