 What is the purpose
of Critical Thinking?

The purpose of critical thinking is to achieve,

evaluate view points, and solve problems.

Since all three areas involve the asking of

questions, we can say that critical thinking is the
questioning or inquiry we engage in when we
seek to understand, evaluate, or resolve.

 CONCLUSIONS
The 21st Century brings new challenges since we are facing the
era of technology and multitasking; therefore,

• Learning and teaching means developing cognitive

competences; such as, observe, understand, analyze,
evaluate, resolve.

• The teacher’s goal is to consciously teach students those

capacities through meaningful activities, so they can transfer
them to other new situations in real life.

• The new role of the teacher is to help students become

independent learners to be able to be competent in
this new era.
