THE IMPORTANCE OF CRITICAL THINKING IN ACADEMIC WRITING
Journal Title: International scientific journal Science and Innovation - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This study gives description of the complex nature of critical thinking, particularly in the context of academic writing at Western universities. The focus is on postgraduate students, including those from 'non-Western' backgrounds, who are often perceived to struggle with incorporating a critical dimension in their writing. Through in-depth interviews with three postgraduate students, the research delves into their interpretations of critical thinking, the factors influencing its implementation, and their perceptions of personal development as critical thinkers. The findings indicate that despite diverse cultural backgrounds, the students possess a comprehensive understanding of critical thinking and actively engage with it. While cultural influences impact their writing styles, the students demonstrate the ability to learn and adapt to new discourse. Challenges faced include uncertainties in constructing arguments, insufficient subject knowledge, and issues related to the essay genre, such as authorial voice and assessment demands.
