Description
Summary:This article is a theoretical review of critical thinking by analyzing multiple approaches to the topic. Critical thinking is also called "perfect thinking", being fair and objective thinking. Right thinking involves treating all points of view equally, without reference to one's feelings or interests, or those of a friend, company, community, or nation. It implies adherence to intellectual, uninfluenced standards. Elementary school is the one that provides the foundations of learning, developing students with the skills and abilities needed both for the accumulation of new knowledge and for everyday life. That is why it is important that from an early age, the capacity for self-evaluation is developed to help the student understand his capabilities and to be able to evaluate his knowledge and achievements. This research considers the importance of developing critical thinking from an early age. People who possess critical thinking take information and process it through the filter of their opinions, communicate openly with the people around them, and argue their point of view being certain of their own opinions.
