This episode features the lecture "Deceived Into Thinking: Teaching
Students to Think Critically Through The Study of Deception"
presented by Jeremy Beahan to CFI Michigan on May 11th, 2011
Description: After trying (unsuccessfully) to get young students
excited about learning informal logic, Jeremy Beahan began flirting
with a different strategy. Perhaps a better way to convey the value
of fair-minded/ critical thinking would be through the study of its
intellectual opposite � deception. This simple idea had a
surprisingly strong impact on how students engaged with the
material. Instead of endlessly rehearsing procedures for analyzing
arguments, students delight in examining real "case studies in
deception"-- everyday instances of fraud, distortion,
manipulation,self-deceptio?n and group think. Through class
activities and assignments students can imaginatively step into the
role of the deceiver by learning how to fake psychic powers,
perform classic street-cons or twist logic in order to defeat an
opponent. Also, when students witness the harm done to individuals
and society by deception they can come to see the value of thinking
skeptically and work to expose deception in their own community.
