Critical thinking

What is Critical Thinking?

Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally, understanding the logical connection between ideas.  Critical thinking has been the subject of much debate and thought since the time of early Greek philosophers such as Plato and Socrates and has continued to be a subject of discussion into the modern age, for example the ability to recognise fake news.

Critical thinking might be described as the ability to engage in reflective and independent thinking. 

In essence, critical thinking requires you to use your ability to reason. It is about being an active learner rather than a passive recipient of information. 

Critical thinkers rigorously question ideas and assumptions rather than accepting them at face value. They will always seek to determine whether the ideas, arguments and findings represent the entire picture and are open to finding that they do not. 

Critical thinkers will identify, analyse and solve problems systematically rather than by intuition or instinct.

Someone with critical thinking skills can:

• Understand the links between ideas.
• Determine the importance and relevance of arguments and ideas.
• Recognise, build and appraise arguments.
• Identify inconsistencies and errors in reasoning.
• Approach problems in a consistent and systematic way.
• Reflect on the justification of their own assumptions, beliefs and values.

Critical thinking is thinking about things in certain ways so as to arrive at the best possible solution in the circumstances that the thinker is aware of. In more everyday language, it is a way of thinking about whatever is presently occupying your mind so that you come to the best possible conclusion.

On the other hand, the good news is that, since our critical thinking ability varies according to our current mindset, most of the time we can learn to improve our critical thinking ability by developing certain routine activities and applying them to all problems that present themselves.

IMPORTANCE OF ASSIGNMENTS

IMPORTANCE OF ASSIGNMENTS AT THE SCHOOL AND COLLEGE LEVEL

The main purpose of assignments is to increase the learning capabilities of students. The more we use our brains, the more they develop. This is a proven scientific fact and this is the principle behind giving extremely creative and involving assignments to the students. Students learn a lot more when they read or practice something by themselves.

Similarly, the purpose of assignments is to increase the practical skills of students. Subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and similar science subjects require practice constantly. The more you practice the better you get. Assignments help in the practice process; it’s like doing the experiments to discover new possibilities.

Some students have goals in life while others just want the degree. For both types, doing the assignments is equally important because it will help in the practical examination like theses or research papers as well as in theoretical examinations. Those with high goals are trained by the assignments to work hard and focus on the things that matter the most.

Multiple assignments at one time make students better time managers. They learn to manage the schedule as well as prioritize tasks. This is the key component to succeed in any field of life. Students learn to prioritize on the basis or urgent versus important and become successful not only in the student life, but professional life as well.

So the advantages are endless and the possibilities are many, if one really thinks about it. But the problem is that students don’t like assignments. They want to enjoy their lives to the fullest, which, if they think about, they can do it on their own if they manage their time. Many students instead of trying hard, pay someone to write an essay or do their assignments to have plenty of leisure time for themselves. But, doing the assignments yourself will polish you and will prepare you for the real life after school and college. And those who take it seriously achieve great successes
