What is critical thinking and why is it essential to academic success?
What is critical thinking?
Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and also in a rational manner on something to do or
to believe (Hooks 29). Critical thinking involves the capability to engage independent and
reflective manner of thinking. The following are some of the traits exhibited by an individual
who puts critical thinking into use:
1. Understanding all logical links between multiple ideas
2. Identifying mistakes which are likely to occur and also inconsistencies faced while
reasoning
3. Solving issues in a systematic manner
4. Identifying the relevance of important ideas
5. Reflecting on justification spelled in an individual's values and beliefs
Conversely, critical thinking is not just a matter of getting information. An individual with a
good memory and holds knowledge of many facts cannot necessarily be termed as a critical
thinker. Differently, a critical thinker ought to deduce impact from whatever he/she knows, and
has skills in making use of information in solving issues, and also seeks relevant information
sources to increase their knowledge.

This is means that critical thinking is not the same as argumentative or being critical of those
within our environment. Despite the notion that critical thinking skills expose bad reasoning and
fallacies, critical thinking plays a vital role in cooperative and constructive logic. We hear you
note that critical thinking helps us acquire mental stimulation, improving our theories, and even
strengthening the arguments. It should be noted that critical thinking does not in any way hinder
creativity...
