Abstract

During the last fifty years we often hear of concerns in academia about the decline in creative thinking among college and university students. Critical voices on the issue are becoming more numerous and louder, suggesting the decline is a progressive one. In fact, the decline is observed to have cut across generations, implying that its causes and effects are cumulative.The general trend observed by these critics, including this author, is away from deep and critical to shallow and superficial thinking. The brunt of the criticism is now directed at the education system, which is widely seen as the perpetuator of the pedagogical “vicious circle”. Each decade of teachers and students appears to have less critical-thinking outlook than the previous decade!
