ADVOCACY FOR THE STUDY OF CRITICAL THINKING
ADVOCACY FOR THE STUDY OF CRITICAL THINKING

Summary/Abstract: This paper is the first in a series trying to highlight the benefits of critical thinking, when trained and taught properly in schools and faculties, for various kinds of people, no matter the age or the specialization. Given the data concerning the way of teaching critical thinking and its results in other countries, my strong belief is that introducing critical thinking classes in Romanian schools and universities could improve the communication and the civic action in our society, and could bring more reasonableness to our private intellectual life and to the various debates in our public sphere as well. Training children, students and mature or young people in general could be an opportunity for boosting our educational institutions and bringing them to a European level of competence and performance. Also, critical thinking could help any person to better know, understand, and create himself/herself.
