Investigating Role Of Critical Thinking On Decision Making: A Systematic Review Of Literature
Main Article Content
Abstract
Decision making is integral part of the human life that includes making choice from the available options. Thinking plays an important role for evaluation and making important decisions. Critical thinking makes the decisions more logical and reason based by conscious efforts and wilful efforts (Paul & Elder, 2014). Critical Thinking is defined as “the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skilfully conceptualising, applying, analysing, synthesising and/or evaluating information gathered from or generated by observation, experience, reflection, reasoning or communication as a guide to belief and action” (Scriven & Paul, 1987).
Critical thinking has obtained greater value in these days when education has attained larger value in society for fulfilling the aspiration of the individuals irrespective of social and economic status. For making decisions about selection of educational institutions, subjects to pursue and employment choices, critical thinking play an important role. Critical thinking is defined as “one’s ability to think about her own thinking process” (Kuhn & Jr., 2004, p. 270). Among the rising values critical thinking is considered as one of high ranked value to be developed among the students, educators, administrators and employers (world economic forum, 2022). As delivery of education has become more and more complex with the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach, this paper analyses how the decision making is determined by the critical thinking process of an individual.
