 The Values and application of critical thinking in practice

What is critical thinking?

Individuals who use logic and critical thinking to decide what to do or believe in a given scenario. Employees who can think critically are thoughtful, self-sufficient, and capable. Critical thinking involves connecting ideas logically, analyzing and evaluating arguments, seeing inconsistencies and faults in your work and the work of others, solving complicated issues, and engaging in reflection. A critical thinker not only gathers information well, but also understands how to apply that knowledge to derive facts and decide results. Critical thinkers solve issues better than those who merely remember facts because they conceptualize consequences.

How important is critical thinking?

One of the most important cognitive abilities a person may learn is critical thinking. By exercising well-thought-out thinking, you may make a positive difference in your life on both a professional and personal level. Working on your critical thinking abilities as often as possible will greatly enhance your life.

  Things that critical thinking can help you with

Critical thinkers excel at research and locating the most significant pieces of information that make them well-informed on any given issue in an age where individuals have greater access to information than ever before. This is useful in workplace discussions and when positioning yourself as an industry thought leader. Critical thinkers are born with the capacity to perceive problems from several angles. Critical thinkers are more self-reflective and can modify their views and attitudes in light of new facts because they deflect the impulse to defend their personal convictions. Using critical thinking allows you to make more deliberate decisions. Big, life-changing decisions, such as whether or not to change careers, benefit from critical thinking, which motivates you to investigate and choose objective reasoning over your immediate emotional reaction. We must justify and reflect on our ideals and decisions in order to live a meaningful life and arrange our lives accordingly. This process of self-evaluation is aided by critical thinking.

Self-Reflection

Full with information about critical thinking, most of the information talks about both personal and professional term which is very interesting as it allows the reader to be able to understand critical thinking in both terms. Another very nice thing is that there is a picture which allowed be to read and visualize some sort of why critical thinking is important. Another good thing that caught my eye while reading was that it also give you life situations in which you can use critical thinking and the ways in which it will help you. However what i didn't really like is that there is to much information in one section and its harder to take in the details. What my suggestion is, is to brake down the paragraphs further and make them in to shorter sentences in order to be easier for the reader to clearly understand.

David Kolb created the Kolb learning model in 1984. Kolb's experiential learning theory and Kolb's learning styles inventory were promoted in the model. Based on a four-stage learning cycle, there are four distinct learning styles. The Kolb model is based on four stage cycles: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation, and learning styles are classified as diverging, assimilating, converging, or accommodating. This is very beneficial for people who are trying out things i...
