It includes general definitions of critical thinking, some sample techniques for teaching an explicit skill or a broader CT strategy. The question of assessment is also addressed as we often try to promote CT in the classroom, but then evaluate our students with traditional tests that do not address the CT skills that we try to emphasize.
