Critical thinking

Critical thinking has been described as "purposeful reflective judgment concerning what to believe or what to do."1 While it is called critical, it does not have to be negative - it can be deep enquiry and questioning, or be respectful exploration. Having said that, it can also be paradigm shifting and part of an active process to challange the status quo.

Critical thinking challenges "one size fits all" thinking, and helps challenge bias and dominant versions of what is important based on incomplete understanding of the issues involved. It encourages examination of personal and professional contribution to change, and helps lead to self determination and autonomy for the learner. It can also provide an encouraging basis for future participation, and the capacity to take a stand (GSE827 2010).
