| Abstract | ABSTRACT. Encouraging critical thinking requires refinement and growth in the process. While educators often agree that critical thinking is valuable and should be a part of the curriculum there is a pervasive vagueness about what this means. In order that critical thinking be understood, that it be regarded as more than a cliche or slogan, sorne clarification is necessary. This article explores the nature of critical thinking through a discussion on the use of logic, the role of the critical spirit, dialogical reasoning, assessment of criteria, the relationship of content, and the relationship of caring and connections with criticism. RESUME. Si les educateurs s'entendent souvent pour dire que la pensee critique est une chose valable qui devrait etre integree aux programmes d'etudes, elle n'en reste pas moins une notion vaguement definie. Certaines precisions s'imposent donc si l'on veut que cette notion soit bien comprise et ne soit plus consideree comme un simple cliche ou slogan. Cet article traite de la nature de la pensee critique par le biais d'une analyse portant sur l'usage de la logique, le role de l'esprit critique, le raisonnement dialogique, l'evaluation des criteres, la pertinence du contenu et de l'attachement et les liens avec la critique. |
