A Model of Critical Thinking as an Important Attribute for Success in the 21st Century

I have read journal by entitled a Model of Critical Thinking as an Important Attribute for Success in the 21st Century by Slaÿana Živkoviü.  

Entering 21st century, students need to master additional subject areas, including foreign languages for preparing them in global society. The students need to be communicative, collaborative, creative, innovative, to think critically and analytically, and to be able to effectively solve real-world problems. With this in mind, it is necessity that educators should help students to become successful for future performance.

As a future teachers, we need to understand that the most important thing to realize students’ need is creating a classroom that encourages collaboration, open dialogue and an acceptance of diverse beliefs and perspectives. We give the students opportunity to openly express their opinion, encourage their thinking behaviours and attitude through effective modelling of those behaviours. For examples, they can involved in debate and dialogue activity. Further, we also need to develop instructional pedagogy with purposeful learning activities that encourage critical thinking abilities and help them to achieve their full potential. For instance, students are involved in writing and problem solving as well as higher-order thinking, such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
