Critical Thinking as an Educational Ideal.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Siegel, Harvey – Educational Forum, 1980
Defining critical thinking and discussing its relevance to the ethics and epistemology of education, the author presents three reasons why it is an educational ideal: (1) it forms the basis of a moral process of teaching; (2) it prepares students to manage their adult lives; and (3) it initiates students into rational traditions.
