CRITICAL THINKING

Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally, understanding the logical connection between ideas. It is a skill, therefore requires you to work on the following:

• Being an active learner rather than a passive recipient of information

• Persist with questioning ideas and assumptions rather than accepting them at face value; ask why • Seek to determine whether ideas, arguments and findings represent the entire picture and be open to finding that they do not • Identify, analyse, and solve problems systematically rather than by intuition or instinct
