Gw mau tau Pentakrifan dari Pemikiran kritis. Jelasin dalam bahasa melayu

Secara tradisinya, pemikiran kritis banyak ditakrifkan seperti berikut:

Kebolehan dan kecenderungan terlibat dalam suatu aktiviti dengan skeptisisme yang bercerminan (The skill and propensity to engage in an activity with reflective scepticism - McPeck, 1981)

Thinking about one's thinking in a manner designed to organize and clarify, raise the efficiency of, and recognize errors and biases in one's own thinking. Critical thinking is not 'hard' thinking nor is it directed at solving problems (other than 'improving' one's own thinking). Critical thinking is inward-directed with the intent of maximizing the rationality of the thinker. One does not use critical thinking to solve problems—one uses critical thinking to improve one's process of thinking.

"Penilaian berdasarkan analisis yang berhati-hati" ("An appraisal based on careful analytical evaluation")
