The State of Critical Thinking
Reboot,
Jan 10, 2019
This is a fairly detailed report (20 page PDF) based on a survey conducted using Amazon's Mechanical Turk. The study notes that while "strong reasoning skills have become increasingly key to navigating everyday life," it remains true that "in too many schools, critical thinking is not taught to young people" and "at workplaces, employers don't do enough to prioritize richer forms of reasoning." In particular, the report says the teaching of critical thinking should not be left to parents because they don't have the skills and they don't teach them to their children. That, I would say, is the legacy of the television generation.
