Critical thinking can be used to foster student learning in many courses, such as science and English, and thus can be an element that helps tie the students’ education together in a way that encourages the transfer of knowledge. We could provide our students with value-added instruction within their core courses and, by spreading the emphasis on critical thinking throughout the college, we would help the students recognize the importance of critical thinking. With a consistent message, the students will be more likely to learn to think critically and to transfer this knowledge from one classroom-learning environment to the next.
