| Abstract: | In this article, we examine the disposition for critical thinking (CT) from three perspectives and analyse the underlying
constructs of the disposition for CT, such as one’s ability, sensitivity and inclination to engage in critical, mindful thought.
Environmental factors that enhance or inhibit the development of a generalisable disposition for critical thought are discussed.
Finally, we present a set of empirically-verified classroom practices that can help to foster a disposition for CT. |
