What Are Thinking Skills?
We can improve our thinking
skills by understanding specific
types of thinking, how they work,
and practicing to improve our
thinking abilities.
If we become more conscious
about those skills, we become
better as a person, family
member, and worker.

2. IMPLEMENTAL THINKING
implementation is the carrying out, execution, or
practice of a plan, a method, or any design for

action that must follow any preliminary thinking in
order for something to actually happen.
“In other words it is the process of putting your
ideas into act”.
3. PRACTICAL THINKING
Another term for thinking, knowing and
remembering.
Does the way we think really matter?
Maybe by studying the way we think, we can
eventually think better.
It actually depends on thinking in a practical
“Possible way”
4.Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is a very important skill to
develop. Critical thinking, in general,
refers to higher-order thinking that
questions assumptions.
It is a way of deciding whether a claim is
true, false, or sometimes true and
sometimes false, or partly true and partly
false.
5. Creative Thinking…
Ability to produce something new through
imaginative skill, whether a new solution to a
problem, a new method or device, or a new
artistic object or form.
The term generally refers to a richness of ideas
and originality of thinking.
