Critical thinking is an important part of both the creative and technical side of the arts. On the creative side, it is necessary to use critical thinking and curiosity to create an art piece or a character with a compelling story. On the technical side, being able to problem solve is a must. In a world where everything is an instant gratification, how do you teach the importance of taking the time to develop and practice a skill or how to think outside the box to solve a creative problem?

According to the ANA, "Critical thinking in nursing is the purposeful, informed process nurses use to collect data, analyze signs, and make safe clinical decisions. It moves a nurse past simple task completion or memorization, allowing them to spot subtle changes in a patient's condition and prevent harm." In a nursing program, students use the nursing process or the CJMM (clinical judgment measurement model) to learn how to solve problems and think critically about their patients.

Critical thinking by my physics students is required to be able to connect the key concepts taught in lecture with "concept questions" in the homework and on the exams.  These questions require the students to think through what rules and/or equations do and do not apply in a given situation.

We engage critical thinking by presenting authentic, open-ended challenges that require students to question assumptions, compare approaches, and reflect on the effectiveness of their solutions. Students learn that there are often multiple valid ways to solve a problem, and success comes from evaluating and improving their thinking.

I teach developmental psychology courses. Critical thinking is necessary to understand how we study development, the strengths and limitations of different methodologies, the assumptions of theories as related to methodology, quality of evidence, and more. Students have to learn the context of information and the credibility of different sources (scientists vs bloggers).

In this foundational GOB course, critical thinking takes the form of problem-solving and attention to detail. Students must analyze word problems and apply mathematical and chemical rules. Because this one-semester course covers a vast amount of fundamental material, students must also use pattern recognition and categorization to connect molecular structures to their chemical behaviors.

At the end of the day, technology is all about solving problems. Whether you're debugging code, troubleshooting a network, or designing a new solution, you will constantly face challenges that don't have an obvious answer.

Critical thinking teaches students to slow down, gather all the available information, analyze the facts, consider multiple approaches, and evaluate the most efficient solution before taking action. Instead of jumping to conclusions, they learn to ask the right questions and make informed decisions.

This is why I encourage my students to focus not only on learning technical skills but also on developing the mindset of a problem solver. The ability to think critically will make them better software developers, better network engineers, and better professionals.

More importantly, critical thinking doesn't end in the classroom or the workplace. It's a lifelong skill that helps us make better decisions, overcome challenges, and navigate everyday situations with confidence.

Technology changes every day, but the ability to think critically will always remain one of the greatest strengths a person can have.

In critical fields like computer networking and cybersecurity, critical thinking is a operational necessity rather than a soft skill. IT professionals must systematically evaluate complex, multi-layered technical challenges, anticipating how immediate engineering decisions ripple across an entire enterprise's security posture and operational continuity.

Critical thinking is an essential part of actually *learning* to think mathematically (as opposed to doing math that is just imitating steps demonstrated by someone else). It's a challenge though because a lot of students come to us thinking that being good at math just means being good at imitating steps. Getting students to talk through their thinking has been helpful in my classes.

We use the term "critical thinking" without asking its definition.  For most people I suspect they simply think of it as thinking, generating ideas.  To be critical is to differentiate, to evaluate, to administer a set of criteria to determine efficacy and value.

Critical thinking is used in every step of our process of care in the profession of dental hygiene.  This begins with reviewing the patients health history, assessing the patients needs and anxiety levels, and ends with navigating a path to a patient centered treatment plan which will help our patients achieve the best results for their oral health.

Part of what drew me to the behavioral sciences is that they show students that an account of human behavior need not rely on hypothetical constructs, especially when those constructs are treated as explanations for why behavior occurred. Because some behaviors are less amenable to direct measurement, it is especially important for students to learn to distinguish speculation from rigorously conducted scientific findings, and even then to remain appropriately skeptical.

Throughout our curriculum, we intentionally integrate clinical judgment using the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model. Students are challenged to recognize cues, analyze those cues, prioritize hypotheses, generate solutions, take action, and evaluate outcomes. Whether they are administering medications, interpreting assessment findings, or responding to changes in a patient's condition, they must continually think critically rather than simply recall facts.

One of the most rewarding parts of teaching nursing is watching students transition from asking, "What is the correct answer?" to asking, "Why is this the safest and most appropriate action for this patient?" That shift in thinking is what prepares them to provide safe, evidence-based patient care long after they leave the classroom.
