Summary
Critical thinking has long been part of Western education, first gaining attention during the Enlightenment era in which science and technology developed very quickly and freedom of speech and expression started (Lawton & Gordon, 2002). Critical thinking has spread to nonWestern countries. Academics in non-Western countries have voiced their support for the inclusion of critical thinking in education. Some non-Western countries such as Malaysia (Salih, 2010), Singapore (Matthews & Lally, 2010), and Taiwan C. Yang & Chung, 2009) have even officially declared the integration of critical thinking into their education system
