Critical Contemplation on Critical Thinking

(ADK Mts. Morning fog Lifting)

Is it taking a square peg to a round hole? find a way to round out the square peg to fit in the round hole? or moving the square peg to a square hole and finding a round peg that fits in the round hole?

"Critical Thinking" the phrase, common in our language but often lacking in our process. Actively defining the term has produced numerous results all with the same goal, how do we increase critical thinking in our students processes and our own?

I throw out the question to you all, how do YOU define "Critical Thinking" and how do you incorporate it into your own practice and the students you work with?

Here is some thoughts from a friend and colleague, while focused on teaching can these be incorporated into your own Student Affairs practice?

I look forward to this blog thought discussion and where it travels. #thinkingstudentaffairs
