First let's list the 9 Intellectual Standards of Critical Thinking...
MP1 - What is Critical Thinking
MP1 - What is Critical Thinking
Divide flight in 3 groups:
Group1 - The Standards
Group 2 - The Elements
Group 3 - Intellectual Traits
Students will have 20 minutes to:
Prepare a brief overview/description of their assigned topics (ie: Clarity is...; Precision is ...)
Provide a realistic example of where some of these failed; or how might they be implimented/applied to the USAF
Be ready to back brief the flight with a 5-10 min lecture
White boards/PPT/visual aid are encouraged but optional
Students can use the Critical Thinking primer or any other sources of their choice

Where have you seen biases affect a decision-making in your career?
Which bias(es) are you most susceptible to and why?
How do we foster specific Intellectual Traits in our subordinates?
What can we do to advise and counsel officers when their decisions do not align with Intellectual Standards or when they clearly exhibit bias? What could be the impacts?
Disinformation – Our Adversary’s Viral Weapon
Disinformation – Our Adversary’s Viral Weapon
“The more Airmen recognize that influence operations can, and likely have, affected them, the faster we can recover and rebuild our defense against these attacks. The concept of information warfare is not new, and neither are the core strategies behind it. What is new are the tactics our adversaries are using to conduct these operations at scale. We must empower our Airmen not only to recognize this threat, but also to actively combat it. This cannot be done in a vacuum.”

Disinformation Challenge - 2 truths and 1 lie (2T1L)
Disinformation Challenge - 2 truths and 1 lie (2T1L)
4 groups: China, Russia, North Korea, Iran
Each group will research 2 truths and make 1 lie.
Groups must create a disinformation/misinformation story, using deliberate falsehoods and misleading statements to erode the trust and confidence. Consider what specific effect you are trying to achieve.
Groups will brief their 2T1L, which must include a visual aid, for up to 5 minutes.
At the end of their briefing, each of the other three teams will confer and then attempt to identify the 1 Lie and the biases/fallacies used to spread disinformation.
