Critical thinking is the ability to analyze, evaluate, and question information and arguments to make reasoned decisions. It involves logic, curiosity, problem-solving, and an open but questioning mindset. In the 4C-FUTURE project, critical thinking is developed through experiential activities that help students identify assumptions, assess sources, and reflect on their reasoning processes.
This competency plays a key role in media and information literacy: by learning to question content, evaluate source credibility, and spot logical fallacies, students become more resistant to misinformation and manipulation.
Encouraging imaginative thinking and innovation in problem-solving and expression.
Building clear and effective exchange of ideas through multiple forms of media.
Working effectively with others to achieve shared goals in team-based settings.
Analyzing, evaluating, and questioning information for reasoned decisions and conclusions.
