"A long-standing debate in U.S. education is whether schools should direct their efforts to teaching students how to think rather than what to think.
Those supporting an emphasis on "how to think" promote
learning "higher order thinking skills" (HOTS). Most
frequently mentioned as examples are problem-solving and critical
thinking. These are good examples of the terms we use as educators
without really having to operationalize them. Provide your own
explanations of what problem-solving and criticial thinking skills
are. How are these skills different and how might they interact?
