My Musings on Critical Thinking 04
Critical thinking is one of the most important skills to learn. It's the ability to learn, understand and analyze new information. Critical thinking is a basic skill that is often neglected. Many children are not taught how to think critically, which is detrimental in preparing for college and future jobs. Critical thinking involves basic skills such as clarifying the task, eliminating or confirming possible assumptions and determining accuracy. Critical thinking is something that usually needs to be taught; however, it can also be learned.

Why Is It Important For Students To Learn Critical Thinking (CT)?
Mastering critical thinking skills help students to think and analyse more effectively. This is exceptionally important in today's educational landscape as examinations become more complex and difficult.
Having the ability to think critically helps students sieve through myriad of information in today's Internet and social media world. It's important they know what's true and what's not. In other words, they learn not to be gullible because they become more discerning.
It is a tool for figuring out the true nature of something. It allows us to look deeper at something, analyse it and ask good questions. Basically, we can become smarter by learning to think critically.

My Musings on Critical Thinking 01
In today's VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) world, it's more important than ever to be discerning about the information we take in. With so much misinformation out there, it can be hard to know what to believe. And even when we think we're being objective, our personal biases can cloud our judgment. So how can we become more discerning consumers of information?
It's harder than it looks to sift through all the information we're bombarded with every day. In the age of social media, it's easier than ever for misinformation to spread quickly and without any barriers. When we're so well-connected to each other, it can be difficult to discern what information is reliable.
It is for this reason that I’ve been honing my skills in critical thinking over the years. There cannot be a more important intellectual task than this. Without the ability to think critically on any issues, our analyses and conclusions can only be weak and would not be able to stand up to any scrutiny.
