What does “critical thinking” mean?
OK, it depends on who you ask. For educators, as a semester Critical thinking Similar words Democracy, global, and Organic: You hear people use them all the time, but no one seems to fully understand what they mean.
This etymological opacity makes them abused, clumsy and abused. In the long run, this abuse clears it into meaning until we all throw it away casually in overly complicated sentences to enhance our own credibility or avoid terminology altogether.
If possible, for the purpose of present and present, agreeing to critical thinking means to Come up with a judgment ideathen we have made two-thirds of some new meaning here.
Critical thinking is one of the first reasons for change (individual and social), but is a pariah in school – there is no other reason other than making people doubt the form and function of everything it sees, including your classroom and everything you teach.
Of course, critical thinking without knowledge is embarrassingly idle, like farmers without fields. They need each other’s thinking and knowledge. They can also disappear from each other while they are working. Once we have determined this – they are separate, able to merge and need each other, we can grasp the bone marrow and be afraid of the whole thing.
Definition of critical thinking
So what is the definition of critical thinking? It depends on who you are asking, but most definitions are related to this: Critical thinking is to pause judgment while determining bias and basic assumptions to draw accurate conclusions.
But, in addition to definition and clarification, we need context – to look around the term when using it, to see when and how it is used, and what kind of reaction it causes when that happens. Here, there are many things to note: how to teach it, how to evaluate it, what role it plays in the learning process, how to use it in misleading school task statements, how to casually discard it in a classroom drill or drill file (suggesting it somehow means I’m not sure how to make this course better, so I encourage you to “encourage children to think critically”, or, Your class has so much abstraction that I don’t know what’s going on, but boys may have a lot of critical thinking).
Critical thinking.org says that critical thinking is:
“Critical thinking is this way of thinking (about any topic, content or problem) that improves the quality of the thinker’s thinking by cleverly analyzing, evaluating and reconstructing it. Critical thinking is self-guided, self-disciplined, self-monitoring and self-correcting thinking. It expresses consent with strict standards of excellence and the mindful command of use. It requires effective communication and problem-solving skills and promises to overcome our local egocentrism and social centristism.”
A paper published in 2004 by Harvard professors said the definition of critical thinking “is available in a variety of sources and is often dependent on the site”, using the definition of psychology as “critical thinking studies hypotheses, discerns hidden values, evaluates evidence, evaluates evidence and evaluates conclusions.”
In the same paper, philosopher Richard Paul and educational psychologist Linda Elder define critical thinking as “this way of thinking – about any subject, content or question – thinkers improve the quality of their thoughts by skillfully mastering the mind and the structure inherent in the standards of knowledge.”
In education, critical pedagogy and critical thinking almost completely overlap. The above definition focuses on ideas while not on criticism. In critical thinking, thinking is just a strategy to get wise criticism, which itself is the starting point for understanding oneself and/or the world around you. Functionally, it can run parallel to scientific methods, but science intends to reach the conclusions of unbiased, neutral and zero humanity.
In critical thinking, there is no conclusion. The constant interaction with changing environments and new knowledge allows for a broader vision and thus new evidence, which begins the process again. Critical thinking has core primitive emotions and tone.
intention.
Critical thinking is about getting around it first – walking all the way so you can understand it in a unique way. Thinkers use their own thinking tools – strategies. Background knowledge. A sense of identity. Meaning production It is the thinker’s process as unique as his own thumb printing. There yes No template.
After hovering over any meaning of your critical thinking (a navigation that must be done with courage and purpose), the thinker can analyze things. In critical thinking, thinkers must see their parts, forms, functions and context. After this investigation and analysis, you can evaluate it – to have a unique perception of things so that you can point out flaws, emphasize biases, emphasize strengths – to master the ideas of the author, designer, creator, or watchmaker and criticize his work.

The scientist has been working on the study for several months to prove or refute this ambitious theory.
The historian should now contextualize himself in a series of documents and artifacts, bringing the background of this historical movement.
Thinking critically requires you to aggregate knowledge, form some understanding, enter the mind of the clock, judge their work, and then express all of this in a specific form (e.g., argumentative paper) and audience (e.g., teacher). Think about what this means.
It is easy for teachers to see the role of critical thinking in a larger process. By analyzing and criticizing the work of others, especially those of experts, students must temporarily merge with them (otherwise they are just generating conjectures that sound clever). Through critical thinking, they learn by imitating – for a moment, running with other functions and others who act as paceSetter. By combining this slanted thought with the master and its work, we force students to dance with the giant or the hologram of the giant.
For developmental thinkers, the tone here is daunting, or should be anyway. It’s a tone of intelligence, collaboration and provocation at the same time. It says: “I began to understand this complex thing worth studying (which is probably a more important achievement than anything I have produced in my life, and then make a judgment on it. We both have all the abilities, And willing to conduct the trial in your own way. ”
This courage takes years to develop.
