Critical thinking is collective of "self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking (MaxKnowledge)" qualities that allows one to research and use accurate information to logically respond to a situation and solve a problem. As an instructor, I need to use critical thinking to deliver accurate information/content using logics, facts, and factual examples that can draw students' engagement and attention into the content with easy understanding, and activate/enhance students' critical thinking skills on the content as a result.
