Abstract

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, every decade brings a renewed call for the importance of teaching critical thinking. Across the disciplines the importance of the subject is universally recognized, an interesting phenomenon since there is no common definition of critical thinking. To a scientist, critical thinking is often equated with the scientific method. To a philosopher, critical thinking implies a logical analysis of an argument and the ability to develop abstractions. To an engineer, critical thinking refers to effective problemsolving skills.
