Critical thinking skills (CTS) improve students’ GPA. CTS is directly linked to students’ learning at school. When students know how to conduct an in-depth analytical thinking, the school becomes their laboratory to test and practice CTS in all classes including English, science, math, and social studies.
On the surface, CTS helps to analyze and organize facts and information which are very important for most school tests and quizzes.
On the 2nd layer, besides improving the basic analytical skill of classification, CTS turns information into the knowledge level. Students learn to interpret the information so that the information can be led by a topic idea sentence. Those who put the information (examples) and the idea together could build up their knowledge and they are able to expand it through comparison and contrast with other knowledge they learn from various sources. CTS helps keep knowledge being accumulated and expanded. This layer is the most active stage of analysis and synthesis.
On the 3rd layer, CTS uses the accumulated knowledge to get into the stage of wisdom, which evaluates various values. Students learn how to set up their position on the topic idea. In this process of evaluation, CTS helps to diagnose the implication and assumption of issues and propose a suggestion based on their valued position. CTS process definitely increases students’ GPA scores in school learning.
