Abstract

In order to enhance the responsiveness of the current generation, this project approached a total of 180 Hong Kong undergraduates from the Technical Education and Vocational Training (TVET) domain to receive training in Computational Thinking between February and November in 2019. Critical thinking has a long tradition in influencing the training of professional studies at different levels, including undergraduate programs, post graduate programs, and even qualifying training. When the promotion of critical thinking has become a compulsory module for primary and secondary schools in some regions, how Hong Kong can avoid falling behind has become an irreversible topic among scholars and all walks of life. Undergraduates in this pilot study were engaged with their projects on entrepreneurship. The results showed that applications and practices of critical thinking had fostered the responsiveness of the involved undergraduates. They have also reached a significant improvement in the effectiveness of project management. This pilot study has confirmed that critical thinking is a way to solve specific problems, as well as a timeless, transferable skill that enables an individual to think more clearly and logically.
