Recent approaches in education aim at cognitive processes, defined in terms of learner autonomy principles. Learners should be taught how to think rather than what to think. Judging, reasoning, problem solving, decision making are vital for successful academic and social lives (Collier, et al., 2002:7). Critical thinking is the ability to judge an idea/claim based on reliable evidence by determining one’s own criteria (Beyer, 1995).
