The Thinker's Guide to the Nature and Functions of Critical & Creative ThinkingWhile creativity and criticality may seem contrary to one another, they are in fact intimately interconnected. In The Nature and Functions of Critical and Creative Thinking, Richard Paul and Linda Elder promote the simultaneous teaching of different types of thinking and explore their interrelationships as essential understandings in learning. This guide serves a useful resource for teachers and school administrators at every level, especially as they integrate critical and creative thinking into existing curricula. As part of the Thinker's Guide Library, this book advances the mission of the Foundation for Critical Thinking to promote fairminded critical societies through cultivating essential intellectual abilities and virtues across every field of study across world. |
