Talking Dictionary460. Put On Your Thinking Cap

Repeat

The speaker was addressing a roomful of teachers. He said. " 'Thinking' and 'thinking critically' aren't the same. For example, if You're thinking about what day it is, That's not thinking critically." He instantly heard some murmuring. A teacher said."But that isn't even an example of 'thinking.' If You're thinking about what day it is, You're just trying to remember. Now, remembering may be a part of thinking, but it's not really thinking." He asked."Well, how can it be a part of thinking without being thinking?" She said."A wheel is part of a car, but it's not a car. it's just a wheel." He said." Yes, but you can't compare 'thinking' to a car, can you? One is a process, and the other is a product." She said." You're right about that. I think I'm going to have to think about this some more." He said." Me too."
