Critical Thinking: A 21st Century Skill
As learnt in Emotional Intelligence Class, we are living in a Volatile Uncertain Complex Ambiguous world (VUCA world). It is more natural for all of us to keep experiencing Amygdala Hijack if we don’t implement the right balance of Emotional Intelligence and Critical Thinking in our lives. Easier said than done!! We have to be careful of not letting the Critical Thinking turn into Overthinking. It is important to understand that CT is not reflexive, rather it is an analytical stance. It helps you become more aware of your biases, take ownership of your beliefs, question things rather than blindly following/accepting it and finally helps you handle situations appropriately. A positive feeling that comes with these sessions is that we are already instilling it in our students. Eager to get more insights from the coming sessions and on the path to becoming a critical thinker (knowing well that it’s difficult and would happen with conscious efforts only).
well said Dipti ma’am that critical thinking might turn into overthinking. It is challenging to keep a balance.
Critical Thinking turning into Over thinking..:), but true!! You think so much about something which is sometimes not required. i liked, CT is not reflexive.
