WHAT IS CRITICAL THINKING???

Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. It is able to deduce consequences from what he knows and he knows how to make use of information to solve problems and to seek relevant sources of information to inform himself.

WHY DO WE HAVE  TO THINK CRITICALLY???

Critical Thinking from our opinion is the ability to think clearly and rationally or in other words "Thinking Out Of The Box". The purpose for human using their brain is to think and to solve the problem systematically  that they face and give an opinion or brilliant idea. This process enable us to think freely and understand the connection between idea and logic also to identify, construct and evaluate argument. Moreover, it let us to think about the mistake and make reasoning, so we are sure on our beliefs and values. Critical thinking moves beyond self-centered views of the universe to a broader, more abstract realm. This means expanding thinking beyond the egocentric values and limited life experiences.  In general, one's thinking is more likely to become critical when concrete learning experiences precede abstract thought.

The Quran encourages us over and over again to think, reflect, ponder, understand and analyse.

ISLAMIC CRITICAL THINKING???

 In Islam "enlightened thinkers” are known as Raushanfekran.

Tadabbur means highly concentrated goal-oriented critical thinking like the way scientists do when challenged to find something new or when they embark upon solving a difficult problem. Qur'anic view of creative reflection is called al-Basira. In Islam Ijtihad or independent thinking is used as a principle of creative and critical thinking, rationality and scientific rationality in a secular perspective. The Quran encourages us over and over again to think, reflect, ponder, understand and analyse. However, very rarely do parents encourage children to question. Our response to difficult inquiries from our children is to say "do it because I said so." This discourages the children from developing critical thinking. They become lazy and complacent and easy prey to cult type following. To take things at face value makes us vulnerable.

WHAT IS LEARNING AND WHY WE MUST LEARN ???

The definition of learning is a process of change in knowledge, beliefs, behaviors or attitudes. Exam score and term paper are measure of learning. If people learning they are gaining or increase their knowledge about somethings. People learn because it is a nature of live. Learning its not only on the books or at the any institution but learning also come from surrounding us that we see, we do, we taste and we feel that everyday happen to an individual. In addition, it is not happen all at once, but build upon and is shaped by what we already know. What can we concluded is "Learning is Not Something Done But They Do Themselves".


 “Learning is not something done to students, but something that students themselves do.” 


WHAT IS KNOWLEDGE ???

The definition of knowledge is perception, association and reasoning, communication and related to acknowledgement in human being. It is a combination of data information experience and interpretation.

WHY WE MUST GAINING A KNOWLEDGE???

Knowledge is the idea or understanding which an entity possesses that are used to take effective action to achieve the entity goals. It a fact, information and skill required through experience, practical or understanding of a subject. Moreover, it help to make an idea and solve the problem also making decision. From my opinion, knowledge have a relationship with information but knowledge is more richer and more meaningful then information. It included a wisdom and insight in people knowledge.

WHAT IS THINKING AND WHY WE MUST THINK???

Thinking can define as a mental process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing synthesizing and evaluating information to reach an answer or conclusions. From my opinion, a good thinking is capable of our brain to train ideas, imagination, intelligent and judgement. This process to exercising the mind in order to make a decision also to remember or collect and to make the mental choice between option. Next, it a action of using one mind to produce thoughts, or reasoning about something. Thinking is very importance to increase the an individual IQ.

Furthermore, idea are often form during brainstorming sessions and through discussion. It also can be conclude idea is a image that are form by mind for expressing mental expression. From my opinion, human need to have a good and creative idea to make different from others.
