Critical Thinking
Critical Thinking is the persistent effort
to review our thoughts and information in the light of evidence
through rational, and open-minded thinking.
Critical Thinking cultivates abilities such as:
Self-directed thought and action that help us achieving our goals.
Self-disciplined action and inaction that align us with our values.
Self-corrective reflection that reviews our thoughts,
feelings, and behaviours.
Critical Thinking strengthens capacities such as:
Effective Communication
Problem-Solving
Commitment to Overcome Egocentrism
A person committed to Critical Thinking applies skills such as:
Perceiving a problem through evidence rather than assumption
Learning to understand an issue through sound research
Committing to review and test conclusions
"Critical thinking has the potential
to be a deeply creative process."
