Critical thinking which must be one of the major educational goals may well serve to not only solve the problems in a reasonable way but also enhance human dignity, construct a mature democratic society and develop the education.
Critical thinking among the high thinking abilities is suggested as not only reasonable problem solving with creative thinking but also central thinking field working on the finding, understanding and evaluation of problem. Above all, we can't escape to emphasize the importance of critical thinking in the point of doing the most central role to judge and evaluate the propriety of every thinking.
Critical thinking is treated as one of important education goal in every country including America. and various trials are developed to promote this in real education field. Now, approaching to the 21th century, it is not too much to say that our educational reality depresses and ignores critical thinking abilities rather than extending it although the ability of thinking critically is required seriously than any other time.
Education should make the students adapt to the changing world. The role of education should not be restricted to only transmitting the structured knowledge simply. Our students are skilled at only accepting passively and not critically, and we should foster their ability so that they may consider about knowledge. information and think critically. We need the intentional and planned education to stretch the student's critical thinking abilities for this purpose.
