Joseph Meyer<p>Critical Thinking: The Other National Deficit</p><p>My wife bought me this t-shirt for my birthday several years ago, perhaps just before I retired from a career leading a team of researchers who conducted administrative policy studies at a large public university. Toward the end of my career, the university participated in a national test of college learning outcomes called the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA). Ideally, the CLA assesses the knowledge and skills of entering freshmen and then reassessed their knowledge and skills four years later to measure the educational value added in a true pre-post test. But, because we were in a hurry for results that could be published on a public dashboard to be used in a re-accreditation visit, we instead tested samples of entering freshmen and graduating seniors who had similar high school percentile ranks and SAT scores. Results showed the critical thinking skills of our graduating seniors, compared to entering freshmen, showed slightly less improvement than the national average for graduating seniors at other universities. University leaders were concerned about this finding and were discussing ways to improve at the time I retired.

Here is an organized strategy based on the thought process:</p><p>### Structural Reforms<br>1. **Streamline Decision-Making Processes:**<br> - Reduce bureaucratic layers and adopt more agile legislative processes to accelerate decision-making without compromising thorough consideration.</p><p>2. **Campaign Finance Reform:**<br> - Implement strict regulations on campaign contributions and promote public financing of elections to diminish the influence of money in politics.</p><p>3. **Proportional Representation:**<br> - Introduce proportional representation systems to ensure diverse representation, which can lead to more inclusive and efficient governance.</p><p>4. **Term Limits:**<br> - Enact term limits for elected officials to prevent entrenchment, while ensuring mechanisms for knowledge retention and smooth transitions.</p><p>5. **Independent Anti-Corruption Agencies:**<br> - Establish independent bodies with strong investigative and prosecutorial powers to combat corruption effectively.</p><p>### Enhancing Competence<br>1. **Expert Advisory Bodies:**<br> - Integrate expert panels in decision-making processes to provide informed guidance on complex issues.</p><p>2. **Civic Education:**<br> - Improve education systems to foster informed voters through civic engagement and critical thinking skills.</p><p>3. **Sortition (Citizen Juries):**<br> - Experiment with sortition to involve diverse citizen perspectives, enhancing <br>representativeness and reducing corruption risks.</p><p>### Reducing Corruption<br>1. **Transparency Measures:**<br> - Increase government transparency through open data initiatives, accessible meetings, and robust freedom of information laws.</p><p>2. **Whistleblower Protection:**<br> - Strengthen legal protections for whistleblowers to encourage the exposure of corruption without fear of retribution.</p><p>3. **Judicial Independence:**<br> - Ensure the judiciary is independent and impartial, free from political influence, to uphold rule of law and check executive power.</p><p>### Voter Engagement and Participation<br>1. **Voting System Reforms:**<br> - Adopt ranked-choice voting and proportional representation to ensure votes count more meaningfully and increase voter satisfaction.</p><p>2. **Compulsory Voting:**<br> - Consider mandatory voting with incentives for informed voting, potentially reducing apathy and increasing political engagement.</p><p>3. **Participatory Budgeting:**<br> - Involve citizens in budget decisions through digital platforms to foster transparency and accountability.</p><p>### Technological Integration<br>1. **Digital Platforms:**<br> - Utilize technology for participatory governance, enabling real-time public input on policies and fostering informed discussions.</p><p>2. **Media Literacy Programs:**<br> - Launch initiatives to combat misinformation, promoting a better-informed electorate capable of discerning credible sources.</p><p>### Cultural Shifts<br>1. **Incentivizing Good Governance:**<br> - Recognize and reward ethical leadership through awards or public acknowledgment to promote integrity in governance.</p><p>2. **Cultural Values:**<br> - Foster societal norms that prioritize transparency, accountability, and integrity, encouraging leaders to adhere to high ethical standards.</p><p>### Conclusion<br>Reforming democracy requires a comprehensive approach that combines structural changes with cultural shifts. By streamlining processes, enhancing <br>competence through education and expertise, reducing corruption through transparency and independent oversight, and engaging citizens more <br>effectively, democracies can become more responsive, efficient, and just. This multifaceted strategy aims to rebuild trust in governance and ensure <br>decisions truly reflect the will of the people.</p>
