Habits of Mind and Foundational Concepts
nick barr (nick) / 7-28-2019
Minerva's curriculum is structured around habits of mind and foundational concepts. Habits of mind (H) are cognitive skills that with practice come to be triggered automatically. Foundational concepts (C) are fundamental knowledge that is broadly applicable. Students are ultimately graded on their mastery of the "HC"s.

從Minerva大學的角度看,大學該學與因應未來的重點是
1.批判性思考(不要人云亦云),這其實很難,幾乎可謂就是博班的訓練,很多大學教授其實不過只是訓練有素的狗;背後要統計與邏輯思維+意識到各種思考偏誤與邏輯誤謬
2.創意發想與問題分析
3.有效溝通(用字遣詞、概念與邏輯表達都要清晰)
4.談判協商與他人有效互動(具備大局觀)

摘錄
一、批判思考:為了有效溝通而非贏得爭論
在密涅瓦大學的教育中,批判思考被賦予了不同於傳統的意義。
李佳達解釋道:「批判思考的重點不在於贏得爭論,而是為了更好地溝通和深入理解對方的觀點。」批判思考的目標是幫助學生深入剖析每個觀點背後的邏輯,並找出可能的誤解和盲點,從而促進更有效的溝通。
二、問題解決:先學問問題,再找解決方法
李佳達在訪談中強調,密涅瓦大學非常注重如何正確地「問問題」。
他提到,在大多數會議中,很多人只會直接跳到解決方案,而忽略了對問題本身的理解和定義。密涅瓦大學的課程中,學生被教導要先學會如何正確地定義問題,這是一個非常重要的步驟。
在密涅瓦的思考習慣架構中,問題解決被分為兩個主要部分:首先是透過批判思考來將問題定義清楚,確保對問題的理解沒有偏差;然後才是使用創意思考工具箱中的 9 個思考習慣來「想解方」。
這些工具箱中的思考習慣,幫助學生能夠從不同的角度來看待問題,並創造出多樣化的解決方案。
三、複雜系統:如何培養全局觀?
密涅瓦大學強調培養學生的「全局觀」,也就是理解系統中各個部分之間的相互影響和連結。
一般我們在談到「複雜」兩個字的時候,可能會聯想到兩個相似的英文字:complicated 和 complex 。
李佳達在訪談時,詳細指出了這兩用詞的差異。傳統的「complicated system」是由許多零件組成,這些零件之間的因果關係是線性的且可以預測的,例如車子或飛機的引擎。
而「complex system」則涉及到每個部分之間的互動,具有牽一髮而動全身的特性,例如人體的消化系統,牙齒的問題會影響後續的消化過程,甚至進而影響整體的健康。
在密涅瓦,學生們學習如何用「系統描繪」(System Mapping) 來理解這些複雜系統,透過在白板上將各個變量和元素「視覺化」,以便找出如何介入和改變系統的最佳方式。
李佳達還提到,學習系統思考的目的是讓學生能夠看到事物的全貌,並辨別系統中各成員之間的關係,這樣才能找到影響整個系統的有效切入點。
四、決策思維:目標、槓桿與數據的三齒輪模型
關於「決策思維」的核心,就是運用我們學到的思考習慣來做出更明智的決策。
李佳達形容決策思維是所有思考習慣的綜合運用,是在學會批判思考、創意思考、有效溝通和有效互動之後,如何將這些能力應用在具體的決策場景中。
書中提到,做出一個好的決策需要考慮三個關鍵環節:目標、槓桿和數據。
「做決策」和「學習」也有很大的關聯,因為學習任何事物的關鍵就是:怎麼讓你所學的「數據」,在你的決策系統中,跟你想達成的「目標」和能用的「槓桿」產生關係並影響你的決策。
