Research Needed on Critical Thinking
Mots-clés :
critical thinking, inductive inference, generalizability, transfer of learning, critical thinking assessment, inference appraisalRésumé
L'enseignement de la pensée critique, longtemps considéré comme un but important de l'éducation, est finalement pris au sérieux dans les écoles, les collèges et les universités. Toutefois, une bonne partie de la recherche sur la pensée critique, que Robert Ennis jugeait encore nécessaire il y a plus de deux décennies, reste encore à faire. Cet article met en relief deux questions qui méritent d'être étudiées: les possibilités de la généralisation inhérentes à la pensée critique, et l'évaluation de l'aptitude à la pensée critique. Certaines recherches de nature conceptuelle et empirique qu'il faudrait effectuer sont expliquées; l'auteur invite en outre les philosophes, les psychologues et les spécialistes d'autres disciplines à s'intéresser à cette facette de l'éducation.
