Stages of critical thinking
Stage description
Unreflective
One is not aware of the role critical thinking is playing in one’s life and the good and bad problems those critical thinking causes.
Challenged
One is aware of the role critical thinking plays and has ability to notice that their thinking problems are causing more serious problems.
Beginning
One takes up the challenge of critical thinking and is able to recognize the problems in their way of thinking and better understand how to improve their thinking
Practicing
One is able to notice that habits that are needed to take charge of the way one thinks and notice that the problems need to be dealt with on an everyday basis
Part 2: Your Thinking
Write a 75- to 150-word explanation of your current level of critical-thinking development, and explain why you placed yourself at that stage.
On this phase in my life, I place my current level of critical-thinking development as “Unreflective”
I tend do things without thinking the actions through. My life is a little hectic, I’m currently home-schooling my four children, while I’m back in school myself. This situation and the fact that I also have a thirteen month old baby girl, sometimes is too much for me to handle, and that’s when I panic and I do things without applying critical thinking. Sometimes things work for the best but other times unnecessary things happen that could have been avoided if I would have thought things through.
