Abstract:

Logic, as a tool for correct thinking, also brings along consistent thinking, systematic thinking, and critical thinking. Logical thinking, a type of thinking in accordance with logic rules and principles, emerges at this point. Logical thinking is effective in making correct decisions with various reasoning principles and rules, and in approaching a problem critically and rationally when it is encountered. For this reason, the methods to follow when using logical reasoning power are discussed with the study. However, it was also mentioned at what point the critical perspective emerged on the path followed. Thus, the aim and importance of the study was tried to be revealed by addressing the logical reasoning with a case study showing the evaluation of it from a critical perspective. As a method in the study, a literature review was made as a qualitative research method. The data were collected from various articles and books on logical and critical thinking and analyzed with interpretation. At the end of the study, it is mentioned how to approach a problem for logical and critical thinking based on case studies and examples. It was concluded that especially when faced with an incident, all of its pros and cons should be evaluated, not to make hasty decisions without thinking, alternative ways and expert support should not be omitted, and conclusions should not be drawn until sufficient evidence is obtained.
