What is critical thinking?

There’s a bit of talk about “critical thinking.” A post over on Instructivist prompted me to consider alternative meanings for the adjective, “critical.” There are several connotations for it, so I thought, hmmm… it being the season of lots of news about polls and this being a democracy, let’s vote on what sort of critical thinking we think is appropriate. Read the alternatives, click on the “vote” button, then click your choice. (You only get one vote in this poll.)

What do you think is the appropriate type of critical thinking students should learn?

  • Evaluative thinking. (100%, 4 Votes)
  • Censorious thinking. (0%, 0 Votes)
  • Grave thinking. (0%, 0 Votes)
  • Crucial thinking. (0%, 0 Votes)
