Abstract | This paper examines educators' interest in fostering critical thinking behaviors in relation to other "process education" concerns. It presents a definition of critical thinking and then uses that definition to classify and evaluate the literature on critical thinking, logical thinking, and reasoning. The paper examines essays, research studies, tests, and instructional materials on the basis of whether they view critical thinking as an act of inquiry, as an act of evaluation, or as a synthesis of these two processes. Finally, it offers a number of conclusions, among them that critical thinking, as a goal of instruction, should be translated into a set of "context specific" performance skills that facilitate students' performance on real life problems and decision-making tasks.
