This page is under heavy construction. Content has to take root in the thinking of students and, when properly learned, transform the way they think. Their thinking, now driven by a set of new questions, becomes an instrument of insight and a new point of view. History texts become, in the minds of students thinking critically, a stimulus to historical thinking. Geography texts are internalized as geographical thinking.
Mathematical content is transformed into mathematical thinking.
As a result of being taught to think critically, students study biology and become biological thinkers. They study sociology and begin to nice the permissions, injunctions, and taboos of the groups in which they participate. They study literature and begin to notice the way in which all humans tend to define their lives in the stories they tell. Sources Center for Critical Thinking, Sonoma State University.
