Critical Thinking

Understanding the diversity of information and the ability to think critically and question concepts are fundamental skills in interpreting and understanding data. Information can be formed in a variety of ways: from a diverse range of sources, personal experiences, academic authority or even deductive reasoning, to name a few. Generally, real world phenomena are not black and white, but rather they are related to numerous perspectives and disagreements and thus the school community should support students in interpreting ambiguous and conflicting information. It is essential to attain the ability to assess the credibility of information.
