Description Critical Thinking Skills Diploma⯠Critical thinking involves judgments based on the evaluation of facts. However, critical has more than one definition, usually including unbiased, sceptical, and rational assessment or analysis of genuine evidence. It involves self-monitored, self-corrective, self-disciplined, and self-directed thinking. It necessitates the approval of meticulous quality standards and mindful awareness of usage. Critical thinking requires problem-solving and communication abilities to overcome inherent sociocentrism and egocentrism. The earliest record of problem-solving and critical thinking is considered Socrate's teachings transcribed by Plato. The transcriptions included a section of Plato's early dialogues involving Socrates' conversation with a dialogist on ethics (for example, whether or not it was ethical for him to break out from prison).
