课程简介

课程名称:评估问题 概述:本课程是“评估问题”专业化的第二门课程,旨在展示人类的思维方式,以及如何利用不同的学科方法更有效地解决问题。通过学习本课程,您将能够以新的视角深化对自己领域的理解。 课程结构如下: 第一周:“思考与思维”——探讨问题解决在自然中的演变、我们大脑的运作机制以及思维过程中可能出现的心理偏见。 第二周:“哲学、科学与问题解决”——回顾人类历史上解决问题的不同方法,从古代到现代的视角。 第三周:“自然科学中的问题解决”——研究自然科学领域中人们如何分解问题。 第四周:“统计学与问题解决”——探讨统计学在评估问题和批判性思维中的重要作用。 第五周:“人文学科中的问题解决”——分析社会科学和人文学科中人们如何处理问题。 第六周:“评估人类世”——学习如何评估人类世中的复杂问题。 课程大纲: 1. **问题解决的演变**:介绍思维模式的发展、我们的思维能力的演变,以及脆弱、盲目进化的哺乳动物大脑可能产生的盲点。 2. **哲学、科学与问题解决**:探讨人类文化如何评估复杂问题,借鉴历史全球视角,研究现代科学,并审视超越科学的伦理与社会问题。 3. **自然科学中的问题解决**:分析科学各个分支中我们如何评估问题,思考这些方法如何对我们解决复杂问题提供启示。 4. **统计学与问题解决**:研究统计学在评估复杂问题时的重要性,以及在我们的领域中可以采用的技能和方法。 5. **人文学科中的问题解决**:探讨人文学科不同领域在应对复杂问题时的异同,强调由于人类社会的极端复杂性,多元化的方法并不意外,也寻找所有方法中的共通之处。 6. **评估人类世**:将所学应用于人类世中复杂问题的分析,要求在这样一个交错复杂的系统中采取日益跨学科的方法,以做出正确的判断并找到最佳解决方案。

课程大纲

Name:The Evolution of Problem Solving

Description:Welcome to the second course of our specialisation on solving complex problems! In this module, we will introduce you to modes of thinking, how our capacity for thinking has evolved, and the blindspots that can still arise out of our fragile, blindly evolved, mammalian brains.

Name:Philosophy, Science, and Problem Solving

Description:In this module we shall explore how human cultures evaluate complex problems, taking in global perspectives from history, looking at modern science, and examining cases where contemplation of problems go beyond science into the field of ethics and society.

Name:Approaching Problems in the Natural Sciences

Description:This module will look at how we evaluate problems in the sciences in its various branches, and contemplate how these methods may lend themselves to our own approach to complex problems.

Name:Statistics and Problem Solving

Description:In this module we will examine the very important role that statistics play in evaluating complex problems and certain skills and approaches that can be utilised in our own domains.

Name:Approaching Problems in the Humanities

Description:In this module, we will examine the similarities and differences regarding how we approach complex problems in different areas of the humanities. Given the extreme complexity of human society, a multi-faceted approach is not surprising, but we shall also examine the common threads that run through all approaches.

Name:Evaluating the Anthropocene

Description:In this module, we shall apply what we've learned to our examination of complex problems in the Anthropocene. In such an age and in such a tangled system an increasingly transdisciplinary approach is required to make the right judgements and arrive at the best solutions.

The second course of the specialization EVALUATING PROBLEMS will show you how humans think and how to utilize different disciplinary approaches to tackle problems more effectively. It advances your knowledge of your own field by teaching you to look at it in new ways. EVALUATING PROBLEMS is constructed in the following way: Week I. “Thinking about Thinking” – How problem solving evolved in nature, how the mechanics of our brains work, and the psychological biases that can emerge when we think. Week II. “Philosophy, Science, and Problem Solving” – How humans have historically approached problem solving, from ancient times to the present. Week III. “Approaching Problems in the Natural Sciences” – How people in the natural sciences deconstruct problems. Week IV. “Statistics and Problem Solving” – How statistics can be used to evaluate problems and think critically. Week V. “Approaching Problems in the Humanities” – How people in the social sciences and humanities deconstruct problems. Week VI. “Evaluating the Anthropocene” – How to evaluate the problems of the Anthropocene.
