Misconceptions About Critical Thinking

  • Critical Thinking is an “extra” subject or “activity” that is optional to whatever we are doing.
  • This is not true as critical thinking is at the core of all our decision-making processes. Poor thinking processes lead to poor decisions.

  • My good academic result proves that I’m a critical thinker.
  • Whilst one’s academic results may indicate certain competencies in certain areas, they do not mean that one has understood or mastered his or her own cognitive processes.

  • I’m too young to learn critical thinking.
  • Learners of all ages are capable of learning critical thinking. There’s no minimum age requirement or age limit for one to learn critical thinking. In fact, it is desirable for one to start learning the skills from a young age, as they help to lay a strong foundation for further skills development.
