| Abstract | The teaching of critical thinking requires an understanding of the term, defined in this document as the processes of judgement or evaluation. Informal logic teaches students to understand and analyze arguments which are fallacious, to determine what is valid and invalid, and to evaluate non-deductive arguments. John McPeck and Richard Paul questioned whether informal logic can teach critical thinking, since it varies from discipline to discipline. They believed that a background knowledge of relevant subject matter was vital for an assessment of truth or falsity of arguments and that there were methodological differences among disciplines. Paul challenged the assumption that critical thinking could be taught as a battery of technical skills as though each argument were an individual unit outside its overall context. This approach he labeled "atomistic," arguing that instead, critical thinking must focus on world, not segmental views. (NL) |
