The relationship between critical thinking and problem solving for talented

A myriad of research supports the fact that at critical thinking is a crucial element for problem solving. Moreover, there is a positive correlation between the critical thinking and the ability of the individual to perform problem solving. Simply put, the critical thinking asks: What is the value and truth of the thing? On the other hand, the problem solving process starts with the existence of a problem. Therefore, the problem solving process revolves around the question: What is the mean to solve the problem? The problem solving ends in finding a solution that targets solving the investigated problem. Two differences between critical thinking and problem solving: the start and end of the processes. The critical thinking process starts with a claim, an idea, or a conclusion, and the process ends in reaching consensus on the value and truth of the claim, idea, or conclusion. This paper shows the relationship between critical thinking and problem solving.
