question.
1. Which of the following characteristics do the various definitions of
critical thinking have in common? Critical thinking
1) requires reasoned thought
2) asks the questions why? Or how?
3) is a hierarchical process
4) demands specialized thinking skills
Ans: 1
The definitions listed in the text as well as definitions in box 2 -1 state
that critical thinking requires reasoning or reasoned thinking. Critical
thinking is neither linear nor hierarchical. That means that the steps
involved in critical thinking are not necessarily sequential, where
mastery of one step is necessary to proceed to the next. Critical
thinking is a purposeful, dynamic, analytic process that contributes to
reasoned decisions and sound contextual judgments.
