Engaging in Critical Thinking involves the application of the following framework:
Definition of issue/problem.
Problem's thesis/hypothesis.
Validation of assumptions and conditions.
Data analysis.
Conclusions and related outcomes.
The precondition to any productive movement in the direction of genuine critical thinking is the endorsement of these three basic principles:
- Focus on the reasons, not the person(s) voicing them
- An argument should never assume what it is trying to prove
- Always construct strong reasons for and against a main conclusion
(see https://kwantlenreasonmappingteam.wordpress.com/principles/ )
I am not sure how well that would gel with Islamic Studies, though...
