Textbook: Chapter 1, 2, 3 Think Critically (3rd Edition) 3rd Edition
by Peter Facione (Author), Carol Ann Gittens (Author)
Lesson
Minimum of 1 scholarly source (in addition to the textbook)
Introduction
In 2012, Psychologist Heather Butler studied the importance that critical thinking plays in our everyday lives. \”Critical thinking is not just the new buzzword in education. Critical thinking involves real outcomes that can be measured, predicted, andâperhaps for the negative life eventsâavoided\” (Butler, 2012, p. 725).
In 2013, studies by Grossmann, Varnum, Kitayama, and Nisbett concluded that wise reasoning, rather than intelligence, was a predictor of well-being. In 2017, Dr. Butler and her colleagues, referencing the Grossmann study and based on their own research, determined that the ability to think critically was a better predictor of effective life decisions than was intelligence (Butler, Pentoney, & Bong, 2017).
