Five Prerequisites for Teaching Critical Thinking.
Nugent, Susan Monroe
Research & Teaching in Developmental Education, v6 n2 p85-96 Spr 1990
To teach critical thinking, teachers should (1) define critical thinking liberally enough to encompass affective responses, creativity, and flexibility; (2) respect their students; (3) discuss values and accept shifting values; (4) be receptive to change; and (5) be able to explain the epistemology of a subject.
