Reference to Cardiff Online Forum
I've got acquainted with the forum discussion of the topic What is critical thinking? The author of the topic, Sue, opened the discussion on the question what people do during the class when the hub is critical thinking. Under this term she means what kinds of tasks are involved and how students are tought to think critically, especially in a conversation with other adult students or tutors. Some members of the forum discussion say that critical thinking helps to put recieved knowledge into life, but there is a point which showes that not all knowledge is usefull in life, for example, studying physics at the university a person can't use the knowledge of this field of science for such an ordinary act as repairing an iron. But when one speaks about critical thinking s/he means, in general, two components: 'a set of skills to generate information and beliefs, and the habit, based in intellectual commitment, of using those skills to guide behaviour'. According to these components one can say that each person has his individual critical thinking.
