creative problem solving and analytical thinking work hand in hand. 

The more examples provided, the better understanding the students have. Examples broaden the analytical unformation they have, which helps them process the information better.

problem solving is a structured process that relies on critical thinking and clear decision-making. It involves identifying the problem, analyzing the situation, generating possible solutions, evaluating those options, and then applying the best one. 

critical thinker develops a specific set of intellectual habits and cognitive skills. It is not based on just "knowing things". The primary focus is on the process of concluding.  The core traits can and must include open-mindedness, curiosity, objectivity, skepticism, and fairness; the cognitive section; and the thinker must be analytical, reflective on practice, an effective communicator, and a logical reasoner.

real life examples are important. The more examples provided, the better understanding the students have. Examples broaden the analytical unformation they have, which helps them process the information better.

I appreciate the recognition of reflective thinking, in particular, and the real-life examples included. Getting students to reflect is the problem. I keep trying to find innovative ways to do that. I hope there are some suggestions in this module!

The characteristics are straightforward, but difficult to produce with the background of modern life and instant gratification. Logical thinking with a thoughtful filter; disciplined consideration with little bias, and sound judgement.

Following clear steps, identify the problem, assess possible solutions and choosing the best option. 

Breaking a problem down, looking at the information and coming up with different solutions instead of jumping to conclusion.
