Web. 20 July 2016. 21st century skills: Critical thinking skills by Laura Hummell discuses the benefits of challenging children in the way they think. Hummell says, "Critical thinking skill development is crucial in elementary schools. Students who are allowed to explore, empathize, question, hypothesize, conceptualize, experiment, and evaluate throughout their own learning become productive community members" (Hummell). Teaching children to think critical helps them solve problems and have logical argument about something they believe is true. In 21st Century Skills: Critical Thinking Skills by Laura Hummell, she uses many outside sources to defend her stance on incorporating critical thinking. She also uses different examples of how critical thinking can help a child that is facing a issue. One of the examples that she uses is if a child can think critical, they work out an issue rather than avoid the problem.
