Филипп Керр в своем блоге возмущается повальным увлечением развитием так называемых навыков критического мышления. А я возмущаюсь вместе с ним. Считаю это абсолютной химерой и выдумкой, не имеющий под собой никаких оснований и доказательств. Когда-нибудь люди очнутся и забудут про эти critical thinking skills так же, как забудут про модные сейчас mindfulness, grit и growth mindset. Вот цитата: "It is ironic that there is so little critical thinking about critical thinking in the world of English language teaching, but it should not be particularly surprising. Teachers are no more immune to fads than anyone else. Despite a complete lack of robust evidence to support them, learning styles and multiple intelligences influenced language teaching for many years. Mindfulness, growth mindsets, grit are more contemporary influences and, like critical thinking, will go the way of learning styles when the commercial and institutional forces that currently promote them find the lack of empirical supporting evidence problematic." https://adaptivelearninginelt.wordpress.com/2022/04/19/doing-critical-thinking-to-others/
