Paul-Elder model

The Paul-Elder model is a framework for developing critical thinking skills. It involves three key components: the elements of thought (like purpose, questions, information), the principles of reasoning (like clarity, accuracy), and the intellectual standards (such as fairness, consistency). By analyzing and improving these components, individuals can better assess their thinking processes, make clearer decisions, and solve problems more effectively. Essentially, it helps you think more intentionally and critically in any situation.
