Importance of the skill for lifelong well-being


  • Critical thinking is an essential skill in almost every aspect of life, requiring the ability to think independently and logically. It goes beyond simply having an opinion or point of view; it includes the ability to substantiate and defend that perspective.
  • Critical thinking is therefore essential in our increasingly complex and rapidly changing world. It is the ability to think in an active and reflective way, to analyse and evaluate problems in a systematic way and thus to arrive at informed decisions and opinions.
  • So critical thinking is a fundamental and overarching skill that should be promoted in all aspects of life. It helps people make more informed and responsible choices and contributes to a critical and tolerant society. Developing critical thinking as a cross-cutting skill is thus crucial for individuals and society: critical thinking is becoming increasingly important because our world is full of data and we have to know how to distinguish and work properly with them.
