Smart Thinking: Skills for Critical Understanding and Writing

Smart Thinking: Skills for Critical Understanding and Writing 

Matthew Allen

Preference :

The study and teaching of critical thinking (also known as informal logic) is relatively rare in Australia. There is little to guide the keen student or teacher in the development of skills for analysis and reasoning in everyday work and study. The orientation of most of the available books on this subject is more traditionally logical, and this orientation further complicates the process of teaching and learning applied critical thinking skills since it tends to remove the use of reasoning and logical analysis from even its most basic social contexts.
