For this discussion, we will use the Holistic Critical Thinking Scoring Rubric (HCTSR) (1) to guide our initial post on the assigned topic; (2) to identify and investigate the elements of critical thinking in our peers’ posts.
Discussion Topic
Who should be responsible for helping cover the costs of mental health services, such as counseling or prescribed psychotropic medications and why? Healthcare companies, patients, a mixture of both, or some other party (such as the therapist’s office)?
Please use 3 of the elements of critical thinking from Holistic Critical Thinking Scoring Rubric (Facione & Gittens, 2016) to support your rationale/argument with a minimum of 4 sentences per element application (see rubric):
Accurately interprets evidence, statements, graphics, questions, etc.
Identifies the salient arguments’(reasons and claims) pros and cons.
Thoughtfully analyzes and evaluates major alternative points of view.
Draws warranted, judicious, non-fallacious conclusions
Justifies key results and procedures, explains assumptions and reasons.
Fair-mindedly follows where evidence and reasons lead.
Instructions
(1) Initial Post: Identify who should cover the costs of mental health care (such as therapy or medications) and explain why they should cover the costs. Utilize at least three of the elements of critical thinking from the HCTSR in providing your rationale.
Underline and bold the title of each element that you use prior to explaining your use of the element. Please see the “Sample” format provided below for further illustration of this formatting. Provide a minimum of four sentences for each application of each element.
Use at least one scholarly reference (this does not include your textbook, though you are welcome to also cite your textbook) in generating your argument. Scholarly sources (also referred to as academic, peer-reviewed, or refereed) are written by experts in a particular field and serve to keep others interested in that field up to date on the most recent research, findings, and news affiliated with the field. Some examples of scholarly references include academic journals or books written by experts in the field.
Please note these are not scholarly sources:
Magazine articles
News: on TV, in the newspaper, online, any form!
Blogs
Encyclopedia/Wikipedia
Most things you will find in a general internet search!
The “Links & Tools” Module page on “Finding & Using Article Sources” may prove helpful in supporting your engagement of sourcing scholarly source; you may also wish to review this website on differentiating between source types (https://guides.library.cornell.edu/scholarlyjournalsLinks to an external site.): Distinguishing Scholarly from Non-Scholarly PeriodicalsLinks to an external site.
The ASU library offers many relevant resources in supporting our analysis of cost associated with mental healthcare. Scholarly sources of this nature tend to provide objective data that may be used to support one’s claim. Please see the resources provided below in assisting you in your engagement of scholarly sources.
(2) Read and respond to at least two initial posts by your peers. In each peer response, identify at least one of the elements of critical thinking assessment from Holistic Critical Thinking Scoring Rubric that the peer used and discuss the use of this element. Please underline and bold the element discussed.
*For reference section for discussion assignments, the hanging indent may not work properly. Accordingly, please note that for discussion assignments only, we will not take off points for indenting of the reference section.
