CRITICAL THINKING AND MEDICAL LITERACY
What is Critical Thinking?
Critical thinking is the ability to analyze, evaluate, and question information and arguments logically, rationally, and objectively. It involves not accepting ideas or statements at face value, but rather investigating, comparing, and reaching informed conclusions.
Characteristics of Critical Thinking:
- Constant questioning
- Ability to argue with evidence
- Ability to detect logical fallacies and biases
- Informed decision-making
- Evaluation of sources and perspectives
Key Skills:
- Analysis
- Interpretation
- Evaluation
- Inference
- Explanation
- Self-regulation (self-questioning and adjusting one's own thinking)
What is Media Literacy?
Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, create, and act using all forms of communication, especially digital media.
Objectives:
- Understand how media messages are constructed
- Recognize intentions (commercial, political, ideological)
- Detect manipulation, misinformation, or fake news
- Develop a critical stance toward the information consumed
- Participate responsibly and ethically in the digital environment.
How are critical thinking and media literacy related?
They complement each other:
- Critical thinking helps you avoid falling into media manipulation.
- Media literacy gives you tools to analyze the information you receive every day through social media, television, news, etc.
Practical example:
- A viral news story on social media.
- Who publishes it?
- Do they have reliable sources?
- What other media outlets are saying the same thing?
This process is critical thinking applied to the media.
Practical Tools to Foster Critical Thinking
- Always ask "Why?" and "How do I know?"
- Verify sources: Is it a reliable medium? Is there data to support it?
- Contrast opinions: Don't rely solely on what confirms your beliefs.
- Learn to detect logical fallacies: appeals to emotion, hasty generalizations.
- Practice reasonable skepticism: Don't believe everything, but don't deny everything either.
