In many ways, critical thinking is the culmination of applied theory. Critical thinking provides the military professional with tools of the mind needed to think through anything and everything that requires thought. This is especially true in the realm of problem solving, planning and decision making. The development of critical thinking skills is predicated on the same principles as any other human learning experience: practice - feedback - practice. As the authors, Richard Paul and Linda Elder, remind us, critical thinking is about a complete outlook toward living, extending beyond critical thinking skills and abilities to considerations of fair-mindedness, intellectual leadership, humility, perseverance and integrity. |
