FIRST THREE LEVELS OF THINKING
- Asking intelligent questions leads to better
understanding of events and ideas.
A critical thinker knows that critical thinking does not necessarily mean
looking for faults, but rather being open minded to different ideas to
arrive at a better judgment.
A critical thinker Examines and Evaluates information and doesn't accept
information until it is verified. And lastly, he/she doesn't let irrational
emotions affect his/her thinking and the actions are guided by the
application of different levels of thinking.
