the thinker improves the quality of hisor her thinking by skillfully analyzing, assessing, and reconstructing it. Critical thinking is self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking. It presupposes assent torigorous standards of excellence and careful command of their use. It entails effectivecommunication and problem-solving abilities, as well as a commitment to overcome our nativeegocentrism and socio-centrism1.” To apply critical thinking in weekly discussions, students must learn to ‘identify itspurpose, question, information, conclusion(s), assumptions, implications, main concept(s), andpoint of view1.’ These may be termed as “the elements of thought2.” These tools may be appliedto course topics or

In the context ofdoctoral education, socialization can be a complex area to study, largely because there are manyroles and groups for which graduate students can be socialized.Using situated learning, more specifically the communities of practice literature, as thetheoretical framework, this study looked at how three doctoral engineering TAs, with experienceas
