What is Critical Thinking and How Can We Teach It?

Everyone recognises the value of critical thinking but there is much controversy about what exactly it is, or how to achieve it. What’s more, we all think we are good critical thinkers. But are we? How could we tell? Understanding what is meant by 'critical thinking' is a essential step towards understanding how we can develop it, in ourselves and others.
