CRITICAL THINKING, CREATIVITY, AND PROBLEM SOLVING 2
Critical Thinking, Creativity, and Problem Solving
Wechsler et al. (2018) define critical thinking as a complex process demanding high
reasoning process levels to achieve desired outcomes. For students, critical thinking allows them
to make informed and well-thought decisions. Moreover, critical thinking serves as an analytical
tool that individuals use to make daily life decisions. Thus, with proper critical thinking skills,
individuals have a guarantee of making the right choices. On the other hand, creativity is the use
of imaginative ideas to create new things. Creativity is characterized by the capabilities to find
hidden patterns, perceive the world in extraordinary ways, generate solutions as well as make
connections between unrelated phenomena. On the other hand, problem-solving is the act of
determining and defining a problem and prioritizing and identifying alternatives for solutions.
This paper explains why education should focus on teaching critical thinking, problem-solving,
and creativity and the options parents have of a different educational approach.
Critical thinking serves as the foundation of creativity and problem-solving. Therefore,
education should focus more on critical thinking to drive students into creativity and develop
problem-solving abilities. Critical thinking involves reconstructing, assessing, and analyzing
information independently, logically, rationally, and clear. Incorporating critical teaching would
enable the students to tackle their daily challenges. Instead of teaching memorization, teachers
should incorporate questioning techniques that instigate critical thinking skills. Through the
questions, students can evaluate, synthesize, and analyze information to make informed decisions
and solve problems. Moreover, by incorporating critical thinking in the education sector,
students would be challenged to improve their thinking process. As a result, the students get
creative and innovative, thereby developing their social and emotional skills.
