Teaching Thinking Skills
Perhaps most importantly in today's information age, thinking skills are viewed as crucial for educated persons to cope with a rapidly changing world. Many educators believe that specific knowledge will not be as important to tomorrow's workers and citizens as the ability to learn and make sense of new information. — D. Gough, 1991

Defining Critical Thinking
A statement by Michael Scriven & Richard Paul for the
National Council for Excellence in Critical Thinking Instruction
Summary
Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth, and fairness.
It entails the examination of those structures or elements of thought implicit in all reasoning: purpose, problem, or question-at-issue; assumptions; concepts; empirical grounding; reasoning leading to conclusions; implications and consequences; objections from alternative viewpoints; and frame of reference. Critical thinking — in being responsive to variable subject matter, issues, and purposes — is incorporated in a family of interwoven modes of thinking, among them: scientific thinking, mathematical thinking, historical thinking, anthropological thinking, economic thinking, moral thinking, and philosophical thinking.
Critical thinking can be seen as having two components: 1) a set of information and belief generating and processing skills, and 2) the habit, based on intellectual commitment, of using those skills to guide behavior. It is thus to be contrasted with: 1) the mere acquisition and retention of information alone, because it involves a particular way in which information is sought and treated; 2) the mere possession of a set of skills, because it involves the continual use of them; and 3) the mere use of those skills ("as an exercise") without acceptance of their results.
Critical thinking varies according to the motivation underlying it. When grounded in selfish motives, it is often manifested in the skillful manipulation of ideas in service of one’’s own, or one's groups’’, vested interest. As such it is typically intellectually flawed, however pragmatically successful it might be. When grounded in fairmindedness and intellectual integrity, it is typically of a higher order intellectually, though subject to the charge of "idealism" by those habituated to its selfish use.
Critical thinking of any kind is never universal in any individual; everyone is subject to episodes of undisciplined or irrational thought. Its quality is therefore typically a matter of degree and dependent on , among other things, the quality and depth of experience in a given domain of thinking or with respect to a particular class of questions. No one is a critical thinker through-and-through, but only to such-and-such a degree, with such-and-such insights and blind spots, subject to such-and-such tendencies towards self-delusion. For this reason, the development of critical thinking skills and dispositions is a life-long endeavor.
A Brief Conceptualization of Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is self-guided, self-disciplined thinking which attempts to reason at the highest level of quality in a fair-minded way. People who think critically consistently attempt to live rationally, reasonably, empathically. They are keenly aware of the inherently flawed nature of human thinking when left unchecked. They strive to diminish the power of their egocentric and sociocentric tendencies. They use the intellectual tools that critical thinking offers – concepts and principles that enable them to analyze, assess, and improve thinking. They work diligently to develop the intellectual virtues of intellectual integrity, intellectual humility, intellectual civility, intellectual empathy, intellectual sense of justice and confidence in reason. They realize that no matter how skilled they are as thinkers, they can always improve their reasoning abilities and they will at times fall prey to mistakes in reasoning, human irrationality, prejudices, biases, distortions, uncritically accepted social rules and taboos, self-interest, and vested interest. They strive to improve the world in whatever ways they can and contribute to a more rational, civilized society. At the same time, they recognize the complexities often inherent in doing so. They strive never to think simplistically about complicated issues and always consider the rights and needs of relevant others. They recognize the complexities in developing as thinkers, and commit themselves to life-long practice toward self-improvement. They embody the Socratic principle: The unexamined life is not worth living, because they realize that many unexamined lives together result in an uncritical, unjust, dangerous world.
Why Critical Thinking?
The Problem
Everyone thinks; it is our nature to do so. But much of our thinking, left to itself, is biased, distorted, partial, uninformed or down-right prejudiced. Yet the quality of our life and that of what we produce, make, or build depends precisely on the quality of our thought. Shoddy thinking is costly, both in money and in quality of life. Excellence in thought, however, must be systematically cultivated.
A Definition
Critical thinking is that mode of thinking - about any subject, content, or
problem - in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking
by skillfully taking charge of the structures inherent in thinking and
imposing intellectual standards upon them.
The Result
A well cultivated critical thinker:
raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and
precisely;
gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to
interpret it effectively comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards;
thinks openmindedly within alternative systems of thought,
recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and
communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems.
Critical thinking is, in short, self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking. It presupposes assent to rigorous standards of excellence and mindful command of their use. It entails effective communication and problem solving abilities and a commitment to overcome our native egocentrism and sociocentrism.

I'm not crazy, I've just been in a very bad mood for 30 years.
And just how may I fuck you over today?
I like cats, too. Let's exchange recipes.
Therapy is expensive, poppin' bubble wrap is cheap! You choose.
Don't bother me. I'm living happily ever after.
I'm not really happy, it's a chemical inbalance
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
If you can't laugh at death, you have no business killing people.
- Demise-O the clown
Accept me for what I am - completely unacceptable.
Insanity is merely a minority of one. - J. Mike Reed Jr.
Boycott shampoo! Demand REAL poo!
Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.
I'm a chemical SUPER-freak, actually, but I still need a gun.
- Nick Cage, The Rock
But what if I am a figment of my imagination?
Feel free to hurt my feelings... All you risk is my insane rage!
Montana - At least our cows are sane!
I took an IQ test and the results were negative
It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you!
I intend to live forever - so far so good.
If you call me insane again, I'll eat your other eye!
Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense
I feel a random act of violence comming on...
Make sure reality is not twisted after insertion
Mental backup in progress - Do Not Disturb!
You! What planet is this?
I'm not in denial, I'm just selective about the reality I accept.
Garlic is to Salad as Insanity is to Art
I like you, so I'll kill you last.
Mind like a steel trap - rusty and illegal in 37 states
The voices in my head really like you.
I prefer to remain anomalous
I'm just here for moral support. Ignore the gun.
Okay, I am basically evil, granted...
Most people make sense, I'm not one of them.
The world is coming to an end. Insert 25 cents to continue.
Enough of this shit, I'm going back through the mirror!
Mind is a flower. Water it to bloom. - Florin DeRoxas
I had a reason for not killing you... now, what was it?
Should I laugh, or worry?
I live on the edge. All of my friends are there.
I am weird, but around here it's not noticable.
Reality is a ficticious concept I find aesthetically pleasing.
Never be afraid to face reality, or to indulge in fantasy.
If reality wants to reach me, it knows where I am.
Only those who attempt the absurd, achieve the impossible.
If you think there's a solution, you're part of the problem.
Never agree with me, it shakes my self-confidence.
If we all work together, we can beat this reality thing!
Pardon me, I have to go kill sombody I don't know.
You may not remember me, I'm dressed now.
If you're looking for trouble, I brought enough for everybody.
Should another universe emerge, this product cannot be guaranteed.
I back the metric system every inch of the way!
It is pleasing to drag others down with me when I go.
I distinctly remember forgetting that
I find your faith in reality amusing.
I have one nerve left - and now you're getting on it...
I try to be as perverted as the situation calls for.
I'd give you a piece of my mind, but I'm on my last one.
Let's just pretend I didn't ruin your life, and move on.
Memory - the thing I forget with.
My file on you is thicker than your file on me!
Sometimes I wonder why it took Mom so long to snap.
You can observe a lot just by watching.
When you remember that we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained. - Samuel Clemmens (Mark Twain)
You can learn a lot about paranoids just by following them around.
I was polishing my fist and it went off, Honest!
"Give me a moment to contemplate my thoughts" - Mary K. Miller
Never remove a fly from your friend's forehead with a hatchet.
Please accept my resignation. I don't want to belong to any club that will have me as a member.
- Groucho Marx
