Stephen think that it is always good if you can teach something when you have experienced it. He starts being interested in the teaching and learning process when he realize how important is feedback from instructor.
For Stephen critical thinking is the process by which we become aware of the assumptions that frames the way we think about everything in our life,but also the way we act. The only reason you do critical thinking is to prepare you to take more informed actions.
The creative thinking is being able to view ideas and practices from multiple viewpoints. the person who is creative can move outside of his habitual typical mental framework, he can also generate interpretations, perspectives ans responses that are different from the general ways of thinking. this person is also able to communicate that though through a variety of modalities and forms, either visual, symbolic,etc.
A critical and creative informed action meets the next conditions:
1. one based on evidence/experience that can be justified.
2.one that has its assumptions known and checked.
3.one that has been view from multiple perspectives.
There are some kinds of assumptions, the first one is causal and it explains the sequence of events, the second one is the prescriptive and has to do with how things should happen, the other one is the paradigmatic and is about structuring assumptions.
Stephen Brookfield also mentioned the 4 key intellectual traditions and those are the analytic philosophy, natural science, critical theory and pragmatism.
