Abstract
The final part of the Integrating Critical Thinking in Extension
Programming series, this article continues the discussion of how
to take into account critical thinking methods and styles when
developing Extension programs. Well-formed working groups
allow members to work successfully solve problems as a group.
This three-page fact sheet explains the importance of critical
thinking styles when it comes to team work. Written by Alexa J.
Lamm and published by the Department of Agricultural
Education and Communication.
