Explanation approaches. ‌ "Critical thinking is not an accumulation of knowledge that can be applied at any time and in any context. It is a way of thinking that even 3-year-olds can use - and that even trained scientists can fail at." Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx00 "Criticism comes from the Greek word krino, which means to recognize, select, judge. Criticism is the analysis, judgement and evaluation of a case (case stands for the entity at which a process is directed (in this case the process of analysis, judgement and evaluation)), a procedure, an act, etc.45 "Critical thinking is a complex concept that does not only relate to the field of education, but covers a much wider area."46 We also use critical thinking in professional activities, in daily communication with others and in daily problem solving and decision making. There are also professional critics who have developed areas of so-called music, art, literature and film criticism. Critical thinking is a complex process and the result of: • Analyzing and evaluating claims, • Finding reasons for claims, • comparing with other and / or opposing claims and generating objections to claims, and finally • Taking a stand Critical thinking is therefore the analysis of facts in order to form a judgement. Critical thinking is also a complex process of creatively bringing together ideas and sources, re-conceptualizing and reshaping concepts and information. It is active and an interactive cognitive process that occurs simultaneously at multiple levels. Critical thinking is usually directed towards clearly defined goals, but it can also be a creative process, with less clear goals. In this process, it is very important to include uncertainty and freedom, as well as to free oneself from the fear of making mistakes. Therefore, a person should cultivate a radical openness to the emerging self.
