Critical Thinking as a key competence and the factor of self-development of the modern teacher

Abstrakt

Critical thinking is described as a competence for the future, a key competence in a global information society, enabling efficient and proactive action in a changing reality in which individuals must cope with information chaos. In addition, the competence of critical thinking is exceptionally important in the context of self-development, and especially – the development of teachers, because this professional group has to cope in its work with unpredictability, ambiguity, the need to constantly verify information, update existing competencies and acquire new ones. Critical thinking also makes it possible to discover weaknesses/deficiencies in one’s own thinking, shortcomings in one’s skills, and make judgments based on evidence/arguments. The article addresses the issue of critical thinking in the context of teacher development. Attention was paid to the understanding of the concept of “critical thinking” as a key competence in the modern world, and it was pointed out how critical thinking supports the process of self-development, especially among teachers.


Myślenie krytyczne jako kompetencja kluczowa oraz czynnik samorozwoju współczesnego nauczyciela

Myślenie krytyczne jest określane jako kompetencja dla przyszłości, kluczowa w społeczeństwie globalnej informacji, umożliwiająca sprawne i aktywne działanie w zmieniającej się rzeczywistości, w której jednostki muszą sobie radzić z chaosem informacyjnym. Ponadto, kompetencja myślenia krytycznego wyjątkowo ważna jest w kontekście samorozwoju, a szczególnie – rozwoju nauczycieli, bowiem ta grupa zawodowa musi w swojej pracy radzić sobie z nieprzewidywalnością, niejednoznacznością koniecznością nieustannego wersyfiowania informacji, aktualizowania posiadanych kompetencji i nabywania nowych. Myślenie krytyczne pozwala także odkryć słabości/niedostatki własnego myślenia, braki w zakresie posiadanych umiejętności oraz wydawać oparte na dowodach/ argumentach sądy. W artykule podjęto problematykę myślenia krytycznego w kontekście rozwoju nauczyciela. Zwrócono uwagę na rozumienie pojęcia „myślenie krytyczne” jako kompetencji kluczowej we współczesnym świecie oraz wskazano, jak myślenie krytyczne wspiera proces samorozwoju, szczególnie wśród nauczycieli.
