AUTHENTIC CRITICAL THINKING As educators, we talk a lot about critical thinking. The problem is, we all have a slightly different definition of what it involves, making it difficult for us to work together to develop the right skills, and hard for students to evaluate their cognitive progress.
We’ve come up with a clear, practicable, and measurable definition of critical thinking, which we prefer to term ‘authentic’ critical thinking (ACT), to reflect our belief it should (only) happen within real-world situations. ACT underpins everything we design, for both our TOK and non-TOK resources. Watch the 90-second video to find out more!
