Abstract

This article analyzes critical thinking as a distinct type of reasoning that involves analyzing facts and drawing conclusions. Through critical thinking, individuals develop a mindset that enables them to self-manage, self-discipline, self-monitor, and self-correct. The goal of this research is to explore how critical thinking helps in posing questions, identifying problems that need to be solved, striving for credible argumentation, and shaping social thought. By mastering critical thinking, researchers aim to acquire effective communication and problem-solving skills, as well as engage in systematic thinking, verification, and making well-reasoned decisions. The study highlights the significance of critical thinking in today's world by examining processes such as questioning, gathering information, and considering positive or negative perspectives.
