Critical thinking skills refer to the ability to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information in a thoughtful, systematic, and logical manner. It involves actively and objectively processing information, questioning assumptions, and considering various perspectives before arriving at a well-reasoned conclusion or decision.
Thinking System 1 and System 2 really help us to understand engage in self-awareness, reflecting on their own biases, assumptions, and limitations. This self-awareness helps us improve their thinking process and make better decisions.
Thank you.

Critical Thinking Kappa

For critical thinking classes I used to think It will be very heavy, boring and tough but after attending 2 sesseion of it I realised It is really interesting and It helped me to understand the different types of biases and also introduced to me the concept of system 1 and system 2 thinking.

Discussion after watching the videos and different small memory games was very entertaining. The discussion based on politics and astrology/ vastushastra was also very productive and healthy.

The movie Oppenheimer was first very heavy but at last It was entertaining and  helped to think critically in terms of ethical values and the need of the hour. The class compelled me to think again about some of my existing thoughts.

Thank you.

I learned how to think critically and analyse a situation, problem before taking any decision. I understood about system 1 and system 2 of thinking and will implement the learning in my day to day life. After watching Oppenheimer, I brainstormed about scientific inventions and ethical practices.

These two days of critical thinking life class has made me re-think of the way I’ve been evaluating things. It’s crucial to separate criticism from critical thinking. It has made me ponder about the reasons why we seek for confirmation biases.

The class was engaging as always. We had a fruitful discussion on the topics like astrology and politics which made us think critically. We got to know about how our Systems work. The movie planned very well connected to the main idea of CT which again made us think from all the perspectives. Overall it had been a great experience sharing and getting to know different perspectives on the topics we discussed.

Reflecting on my critical thinking class and the utilization of System 1 and System 2 thinking, I have come to know the role each system plays in enhancing my critical thinking skills.By overcoming biases and developing metacognitive skills, I have become more adept at approaching complex problems and making more informed decisions. Moving forward, I am motivated to continue honing these thinking systems, knowing that they are invaluable tools in the pursuit of critical thinking excellence. Also thankyou for our faciltors for sharing their experience.

I learned about the 4 points to be kept in mind for critical thinking! I learned that it’s an intentional process. I learned about 2 models of thinking and how important both the systems are. I learned about confirmation bias and selective recall, interpretation and research. My most important  takeaway is that Improving thinking skills needs to be practiced!

Critical Thinking is to stay objective, unbiased, have own filter to understand a problem or situation better… To consider impact of the decision is important in the process…not to  ignore or being selective or blind towards information inorder to suit ones interest is not the right way of taking a decision….one may not have complete control over implementation of a decision or situation but choosing to critical think or concluding a point based on critical thinking is also enough… One needs to be aware about conformation bais while trying to gather information or POV of others…

Critical thinking is the ability to rethink about your own thinking process so as to make informed choices. Most of the times, our emotions overpower the ability to think critically and we fall under system 1. However, it lead to various repercussions to the relationship with the people. Hence, it is equally important to think critically from all the lenses before jumping to the conclusions. It also helps us in questioning the things that have been widely followed by people due to inherent opinion. After watching Oppenheimer, reflections on the human actions on society allowed us to think critically to understand all the perspectives that led to disaster.
