“I want them
to be critical thinkers.” George Snyder offed essentially the same language, “I want for
them to be more skilled critical thinkers” as did Eugene Darko, “that they are well-trained
in critical thinking.” Daniel Patton offered a similar idea when he said “we not only want
to give them a certain amount of information, knowledge about a subject, but also one of
the major goals is that we make them make them better learners.” Jennifer Johnson
communicated a similar idea within the context of her discipline, history, when she stated
that she wanted her students to “understand the way the historians think and how we
think just the critical of paradigms of thought understand how those schools of thought
are created and how they help us interpret history how interpretation of history itself
changes over time.”
