The Youth Should Be Inoculated with Critical Reasoning

• The integration of youth into a digital-based culture must be approached with prudence.
  • Educators are pivotal in this endeavor. By this, I mean the cultivation of skills that enable critical reasoning.
  • This is essential to combat manipulative and superficial information, whether in text or on screens.
• We must avoid the fallacy of equating critical reasoning skills with critical thinking.
  • Following the insights of Dan Willingham, I believe that critical thinking cannot be taught. Instead of pursuing this misleading venture, educators should abandon this futile effort.
  • Rather than “teaching” critical thinking, educators should concentrate on developing critical reasoning skills. These skills empower students to act with knowledge, discern useful content from harmful, and respond appropriately to external stimuli.
• The inoculation with critical reasoning skills enables youth to avoid fixating on certain frames of thought. It opens them to possibilities such as divergent thinking and helps them change their views, provided this happens on evidence-based grounds and with morally mature students.
• Another significant benefit they might gain from adept information management is a robust system of personal beliefs. ^5aefa0
  • The youth need to explore various systems and schools of thought.
  • Most importantly, with critical reasoning skills, they might learn to ask questions that unveil the illusion of understanding.
• A byproduct of developing critical reasoning skills is academic resilience — the ability to examine and learn about phenomena and events they lack sufficient knowledge about.
