COURSE PROPOSAL

CCRI Definition of an Educated Person: Four Abilities

The Community College of Rhode Island recognizes four critical areas that define the learning outcomes of a CCRI graduate. These four abilities can be applied in many contexts and are critical skills that must be developed not only at CCRI, but over the course of a lifetime. These core abilities guide students, faculty and staff in establishing educational goals and assessing learning within and across the primary domains of knowledge: arts and humanities, science and mathematics, and the social sciences.

Since individual courses provide the opportunity to gain knowledge in these four critical areas, it is essential to understand which areas are to be covered in each course. In each of the four areas below, please indicate in the Item(s) # box next to each critical element, the Item #(s) from the previous page (Student Learning Outcomes) which supports the Educated Person Ability that is covered.

Item(s) #
1. / Effective Communication
a. / Use standard English grammar and mechanics / 2, 6
b. / Create work that addresses a given purpose and / 5
context and responds to the target audience
c. / Present a central idea, supported by concrete, / 3
relevant details
d. / Establish a clear and consistent sequence of ideas / 2, 3
2. / Critical Thinking
a. / Identify and analyze complex ideas / 1, 5
b. / Determine a research focus and the nature and scope / 3
of information needed
c. / Locate, evaluate, and use information effectively / 5, 6
d. / Draw logical conclusions from information / 2, 5
e. / Express well-reasoned or innovative perspectives / 2, 3
3. / Quantitative, Mathematical and Scientific Reasoning
a. / Demonstrate an understanding of mathematical, / 4
quantitative or scientific principles.
b. / Apply a scientific approach in asking questions / 5
c. / Apply mathematical, quantitative, or scientific / 4

b. / Use teamwork to accomplish tasks in groups / 5
c. / Demonstrate an understanding of global, cultural and / 6
historical perspectives.

Note: With respect to the four abilities listed above, the level of attainment achieved should reflect the needs of the specific program. It is not necessary that individual courses address each outcome, yet, in total, all courses required by a program of study must together meet these goals.
