Deciding which college to attend. what would it be more reasonable to use reactive thinking t or reflective critical thinking when making the following decisions? Explain your answer
I would say reflective thinking. Reflective thinking involves personal consideration of one’s own learning. It considers personal achievements and failures and asks what worked, what didn’t, and what needs improvement (Given, 2002). [ It asks the learner to think about her own thinking. Reflection is the key that opens the door to understanding ourselves in relation to core ethical values” (Beland, 2003, p.15). Similarly, Lickona states that moral reflection is necessary to develop the cognitive side of character –the important part of our moral selves that enables us to make moral judgments
about our own behavior and that of others” (Lickona, 1991, p.229). This type of reflection enables learners to gain self-knowledge, to demonstrate their understanding of worthwhile moral values, take on the perspective of others, to reflect on why some actions are morally better than others, and to consider alternatives and consequences of actions. charactered.ocde.us/ICE/lessons_html/reflective.html ]
