WHAT IS THINKING?
Dewey argues that thinking is predicated on mapping out the interaction of information and on
an intentional organization of knowledge — something that requires a comfort with
uncertainty, a systematic curiosity that stocks the mental store of ideas, and a willingness for
depth and slowness:
Dewey means of thinking is an active, persistent and careful consideration of any belief or
supposed form of knowledge.
What are thinking skills?
Creative Thinking is referring to the process of actively analyzing, synthesizing and or evaluating
and reflecting on information gathered from observation, experience, or communication and is
focused on deciding what to believe or do.
