Misunderstanding:
The meaning of criticism differs upon people’s point of view. Some believe that criticizing is a negative act towards people work. While others prefer not engaging in any kind of criticizing so that others would say that they are bad people.
Over-estimating our own reasoning abilities:
Human being were created with a system that supports every behavior and attitude they do. Our system tell us that what we do is better than anyone’s opinion, so we don’t accept others criticism easily.
Lack of methods, strategies or practice:
Some people are aware of the advantages of critical thinking, but they think they can’t do it for themselves. They think it’s only for professionals, but the truth is anyone can do it by practice.
Reluctance to critique expert:
Some students are learning by criticizing other experts written work. It’s not meant to
Say rude things about their work, but to learn the basics of critical thinking.
Affective reasons:
Applying criticism can be heavily affected by our beliefs and emotional status. It gives our argument a stronger stand, but we still have to depend on facts to give a reasonable criticism.
Mistaking information for understanding:
Some experts agree on using critical thinking as a teaching method. Teachers used to only give students the right answer so that they would only memorize it. Now, students have to think harder and ask more questions to reach the correct answer which is better for their brain muscle.
