Edward Glaser (1941)
Defines critical thinking as the ability to think critically: this involves
three things:
( 1 ) an attitude of being disposed to consider in a thoughtful way the
problems and subjects that come within the range of one's
experiences,
(2) knowledge of the methods of logical inquiry and reasoning, and
(3) some skill in applying those methods.

Critical thinking is defined as the intellectually disciplined process of
actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing,
and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by,
observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a
guide to belief and action.
Has two components:
1) a set of information and belief generating and processing skills,
2) the habit, based on intellectual commitment, of using those skills to
guide behavior.

• Critical thinking is that mode of thinking - about any
subject, content, or problem - in which the thinker
improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully
taking charge of the structures inherent in thinking and
imposing intellectual standards upon them.
• Critical thinking is, in short, self-directed, self-
disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective
thinking.
• It entails effective communication and problem-solving
abilities and a commitment to overcome our native
egocentrism and sociocentrism.
