Learning to Think at Christian Universities - Philosophical Issues

"Critical thinking has not traditionally been a strength of Christian colleges. If we are to address this problem, we must examine the philosophical concerns about whether the goal of critical thinking is truly appropriate for Christian education, and whether it is appropriate to use some of the methods that secular education uses to teach critical thinking. The conclusion is that critical thinking is compatible with Christianity, and increasing student involvement in their education is discussed as a major way of promoting thinking in schools. Benefits of student involvement and problems with implementing it are discussed."
