The foundation for critical thinking

 Preparing resources for research writing workshops and one topic we will be sharing is on the concepts underpinning critical thinking and how to apply this to academic writing.

This site on 'Critical thinking, where to begin'  is provided by the Foundation for Critical Thinking. It is a non-profit US of A organisation which provides resources, workshops/webinars, conferences, online courses etc. to promote the practice of critical thinking. Membership provides access to the entire range of resources but the site itself, provides good overviews and some guides.

The model provided is traditional and 'tried and tested'. The 'elements or reasoning' are defined along with the 'elements of thought'. These provide the 'process' for thinking through challenges and perspectives.
