Critical Thinking: Intellectual Standards Essential to Reasoning Well Within Every Domain of Human Thought, Part 4
In the last few columns we introduced the idea of intellectual standards, offering an analysis of the term as an explicit concept (entailing many other concepts) to be employed in teaching and learning, and in human societies more broadly. Conclusion As you read through this series of articles on intellectual standards, it is prudent to remember that, though intellectual standards are central to the cultivation of the intellect, and hence should be placed at the core of teaching and learning, colleges and universities across the world are still a far distance from this reality.

Critical Thinking: Intellectual Standards Essential to Reasoning Well Within Every Domain of Human Thought, Part 3

[...]to conceptualize intellectual standards, it is important to consider established uses of the terms \"intellectual\" and ''standards\" (as well as related terms)and integrate insights from this analysis to formulate a reasonable conception of intellectual standards. [...]for every skill area, there are standards to which people attempting to develop those skills aspire - in music, art, sports, parenting, marriage, public speaking, theatre, science, literature, architecture, indeed in every domain of human thought and action.

Critical Thinking: Competency Standards Essential to the Cultivation of Intellectual Skills, Part 5
In the last four columns we introduced the concept of critical thinking competency standards and elaborated a number of such standards, targeting the analysis of thought, the assessment of thought, and the cultivation of intellectual virtues. [...]there will be considerable overlap between generalizable critical thinking skills, abilities, and traits and subject specific ones. Students demonstrate understanding of ethical reasoning, by accurately elaborating and exemplifying that reasoning. 2 .\\n They distinguish ethical thinking from religious thinking (based on theology), conventional thinking (based on social conventions and taboos), political thinking (based on ideology and vested interest), and legal thinking (based on political processes and social pressures).
