Imagination can in fact be essential to leaps of creativity that are later identified as ‘critical’. Being a critical thinker therefore is bigger than just cognitive acts of logical reasoning, and the careful consideration of argument. It also involves an ability to find assumptions behind beliefs, actions and behaviour, and bring creativity to the activity of thinking. A critical thinker will be able to forward justification for their ideas and actions and those of others. They can compare and contrast, work through processes, subject justifications to a number of interpretations, and they can predict and test the accuracy of those predictions. They can work artificially by constructing models of the ‘real’ and recognise that is what has been constructed. There is another dimension to critical thinking which is ‘reflection’. Subjecting our learning to analysis based on comparing it with our experience of practice. Critical thinking involves the whole person and can be seen as a life enhancing necessary life:

ABSTRACT
Imagination can in fact be essential to leaps of creativity that are later identified as ‘critical’. Being a critical thinker therefore is bigger than just cognitive acts of logical reasoning, and the careful consideration of argument. It also involves an ability to find assumptions behind beliefs, actions and behaviour, and bring creativity to the activity of thinking.
