“Every issue has multiple perspectives, every piece of information needs to be verified, and every decision requires a solid foundation of critical thinking. This is the value that critical thinking brings.”
Critical thinking helps us move beyond familiar ways of thinking, examine issues from multiple perspectives, analyze information, and make well-informed decisions.
With the aim of developing these capabilities among learners, AIMNEXT Vietnam organized the specialized training course “Critical Thinking” on November 5–6, 2026, in Ho Chi Minh City, with participants from various companies.
Rather than focusing solely on theoretical knowledge, AIMNEXT Vietnam's “Critical Thinking” training course combines instruction, discussion, and practical exercises, helping participants gradually develop independent analytical thinking through the following key topics:
- Overview of Critical Thinking: Helped participants understand the nature, role, and standards of critical thinking; distinguish critical thinking from arguing; and identify common barriers that hinder effective thinking.
- Developing Analytical Thinking: Strengthened participants' ability to identify problems, collect and evaluate information, construct logical arguments, and recognize common logical fallacies.
- Enhancing Questioning and Critical Thinking Skills: Introduced the Socratic Method, 5 Whys, and 5W1H techniques, combined with effective listening and emotional control skills to encourage a more multi-dimensional perspective.
- Practicing Effective Debate: Applied the ARES framework and the five-step debate process to help participants express their viewpoints, support their arguments, and engage in persuasive discussions.
- Review and Action Planning: Consolidated key knowledge and skills while developing action plans to apply critical thinking effectively in the workplace.
With an interactive, practice-oriented training approach, learners had the opportunity to develop their skills in information analysis, building arguments, examining issues from multiple perspectives, and finding solutions to real-life situations. Through these activities, they gradually strengthened their debating, communication, and decision-making skills for the workplace.
Critical thinking is the foundation that enables individuals to think independently, evaluate issues objectively, and develop effective solutions. AIMNEXT Vietnam hopes that learners will apply the knowledge and skills gained from this course effectively in their daily work.
