What Critical Thinking IsCritical thinking is commonly seen as having
two components:
A set of information and belief generating and processing skills
The habit, based on intellectual commitment, of using those skills to guide behavior
What Critical Thinking Is NotThe mere acquisition and retention of
information along, because it involves a particular way in which information is sought and treated
The mere possession of a set of skills, because it involves the continuous use of them
The mere use of those skills (“as an exercise”) without acceptance of their results
Definition of Critical ThinkingIt is a mode of thinking
It can cover any subject, issue or problem
The thinker improves the quality of his/her reasoning by:Taking charge of thinking processesImposing intellectual standards on those
processes

them clearly and preciselyGather and assess relevant information

Test these conclusions/solutions against relevant criteria
Thinks openmindedly with alternative systems or lines of thoughtRecognizing the assumptions, implications, and
consequencesCommunicate effectively with others in figuring out
solutions to complex problems
