When students were surveyed about the kind of thinking they considered to be most important in their academic studies, the majority chose? a. critical thinking. b. analytical thinking. c. creative thinking. d. All of the above. e. None of the above.

Everything above is the most appropriate alternative to the question, since the integration of critical thinking, analytical thinking and creative thinking will make a student stand out in his academic studies and also in his future professional life.

Critical thinking corresponds to reflective and questioning thinking, which includes not accepting what is imposed on it without questioning its veracity and investigating.

Analytical thinking is one that helps to create reasoning that helps in solving complex problems by decomposing the problem into simpler parts.

Creative thinking is that which helps the person to think differently from the traditional one, seeking innovations and new ideas.

Therefore, the three thoughts complement and integrate each other so that a student can contribute to science and other areas of knowledge in an innovative and effective way.
