    3 (c) Explain tools for critical and

    creative thinking
    • Tools for critical and creative thinking is about what we
    take to think critically. Critical thinking has necessary
    tools and a method for using those tools.
    • There are two main activities we do all the time when
    we think. The first one is gathering information or
    collecting data. As humans collection of data is done
    by using our five senses. The second activity we do
    when we think is drawing a conclusion. However what
    separates a critical thinker from a non critical thinker is
    how a person evaluates both data she’s collected and
    the conclusions she’s drawn. See the figure below

    • To evaluate both information and conclusions,
    the critical thinker must use the most important
    tools with questions. There are four tools.
     Tools for getting the facts
    (Involves first three elements in analytic
    thoughts)
     Tools for evaluating the facts
    (involves the fourth to eighth element in analytic
    thought)
     Drawing a conclusion (Involves questions
    under elements of evaluative standards:
    precision, clarity ,accuracy, depth and
    breadth)
     Evaluating the conclusion.(involves
    questions under elements of evaluative
    standards: logic, relevance, significance, and
