Critical thinking is “the ability to think clearly and rationally. It includes the ability to engage in reflective and independent thinking.”
As I said in in my culture post I have bachelors degree in Primary teaching. So I had been to many seminars and heard a lot of speeches about critical thinking, because you have to learn to criticize and have to say/state your own opinion from early ages. So Primary school have an effect on kids. From all the seminars and coerces I’ve been in my opinion critical thinking is a must. You don't have to be like a sheep and say yes to everybody, don't state your opinion and do/say what others need you to do/say.Critical thinking involves developing the key skills of questioning and reasoning and the ability to demonstrate:
—> a readiness to reason and create order and meaning from their experience of life
—> a willingness to be open minded, to question and challenge the ideas of others
—>an openness to be challenged by others, and to the possibility of being wrong
Children need to be shown how to develop as reasonable, fair minded critical thinkers. They need to practice the skills of questioning, reasoning, predicting and patterning experience. Learning to think critically means learning to make informed judgements.
