A Critical Look at Critical Thinking.

Thomas, Cornell; Walker, Paulette C.

Western Journal of Black Studies, v21 n4 p221-224 Win 1997

Notions of critical thinking are examined particularly in relation to academic success. Current debate focuses on children's lack of critical-thinking skills, especially those in urban schools. Because teachers' beliefs form the foundational basis for critical thinking, shaping attitudes and values is needed in teacher-education programs. (MMU)
