Foundations of Critical Thinking
Critical thinking embodies a disciplined, systematic approach to actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information to derive sound conclusions. This intellectual process hinges on several key components, including analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation. Contrary to logical thinking, which revolves around logical reasoning and objective assessment, creative thinking involves the generation of original ideas and innovative solutions through imaginative processes.
