- Title
HIGH-PERFORMING STUDENTS WITH LOW CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS.
- Authors
Williams, Robert L.; Stockdale, Susan L.
- Abstract
The importance of critical thinking has been linked to its potential both as a predictor and outcome variable in college courses. This relationship between predictor and outcome status is potentially reciprocal: high critical thinking contributes to success in a course, and success in a course contributes to higher critical thinking. Within this framework, high critical thinkers are more likely than low critical thinkers to achieve good grades in a course, and students achieving high grades are more likely than students achieving low grades to improve their critical thinking skills. Thus, low critical thinkers are at a disadvantage in two ways: they are more likely than high critical thinkers to achieve poor grades and less likely to improve their critical thinking.
