Abstract

The critical thinking literature emphasizes the continuous need of understanding the meaning of a complex concept as critical thinking. Previous research provides multiple theoretical approaches on critical thinking, including different theoretical and operational definition, methods for developing critical thinking and measurements tools within formal educations. In this study, we focus on reviewing the main insights from previous studies with the specific aim of proposing a structured overview of how critical thinking can be defined, developed and measured according to multiple approaches (i.e., philosophical, psychological, educational). Results of this study showed the development of the critical thinking concept, consisting of a broad perspective of multiple approaches of critical thinking. This further enables an overview of critical thinking particularities.
