Critical Thinking

 What is critical thinking?

Affect of critical thinking in student life?




Critical thinking is an intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. 


Critical thinking helps students reflect and understand their points of view. A student can figure out how to make sense of the world with this skill. Enhancing a student's critical thinking skills is essential in a liberal education model, which beliefs in teaching students how to think and not what to think. 

SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES INVOLVED IN CRITICAL THINKING

We’re in a class that holds about this “Critical Thinking”. And our teacher asked us to draw something on an a4 size paper using our critical thinking skills. And we all followed. We put all our drawings together and discussed them. We came up with some conclusions about the importance of critical thinking in our academic life that I mentioned below in short. 



Academic and job success is related to critical thinking abilities. Students tend to expand the perspectives from which they view the world when they use these skills. The core of learning is critical thinking because it allows students to comprehend their perspectives. This skill helps a student figure out how to understand the world around them. The ability to manage and apply thinking processes is one of the things critical and creative thinking capability aims to ensure. Skills and learning dispositions support logical, strategic, flexible, and adventurous thinking.

A group called Architecture for Social Housing (ASH) held a protest in 2015 that called for social inequality to be addressed in the built environment and criticized the politics of architecture. People usually think of architecture and spatial practice as being connected to money. But this chapter looks at how spatial activism, short-term interventions, and socially engaged approaches can change social and political outcomes. This chapter talks about how politics shape both space and politics.   The process of redesigning public parks in a city is one example of this. There may be different ideas among interest groups about how the space should be used and organized. This could lead to disagreements, and everyone will need to work together to find a solution.
