THE ESSENTIAL DIMENSIONS OF CRITICAL THINKING
Source: criticalthinking.org
According to Mike Kallet, “Critical Thinking is a toolset, a methodology, and a process that you use during activities such as problem solving, decision making, innovation, leading, negotiating, influencing, and more. Critical thinking aims to make an overall or holistic judgment about the data/information which is free from false premises or bias as much as possible.
Strategic Thinking is another activity, joining the list above, where you use Critical Thinking as a tool. Strategic Thinking is thinking beyond the specific issue or task at hand. You look at consequences, implications, interdependencies, and indirect affects, all in both the short and longer term. It’s an activity where you look beyond the immediate goal or issue in the context of the world around you, not just the content of the moment.”
Synthesis involves the combination of ideas and information to form a theory or system.
