    This document outlines the key components of critical thinking according to various scholars. It identifies five interrelated components described by Al-Sayed: 1) knowledge base, 2) external events, 3) personal theory, 4) feeling of contradiction, and 5) resolving contradiction. Suadah identifies 10 additional components including focusing on problems, identifying assumptions, dealing with unclear information skeptically, and avoiding logical fallacies. The components are summarized as the individual's knowledge base, a stimulus that provokes critical thinking, using critical thinking skills, and reaching a conclusion.

    CRITICAL THINKING

    COMPONENTS
    What are the components of critical
    thinking?
    Critical thinking is an
    interconnected process that
    includes five interrelated
    components, as indicated by
    (Al-Sayed, 1995), namely:
    1

    The knowledge base: It is


    what the individual knows
    and believes in. It is
    necessary for the feeling of
    contradiction to occur.
    2

    External events:
    These are the stimuli
    that evoke a sense of
    contradiction.
    3

    Personal theory: it is the


    personal character that
    the individual has derived
    from the cognitive base so
    that it is a characteristic of
    him/her
    4

    Feeling of contradiction or
    divergence: Feeling
    represents a motivating
    factor that entails the rest of
    the critical thinking steps
    5

    Resolving the contradiction: It is


    a stage that includes all the
    constituent aspects of critical
    thinking, as the individual
    seeks to solve the contradiction,
    including multiple steps.
    The purpose of the critical
    thinking process can only be
    achieved through mental skills
    that are used during critical
    thinking. Suadah (2011, p. 105)
    pointed out a number of
    components of critical thinking,
    including:
    1. Focusing on problems and questions.
    2. Identifying various problems.
    3. Focusing on related topics.
    4. The ability to use important statistics
    and data.
    5. The ability to check the strength of
    the proof by using re-application
    6. Avoiding thinking based on self,
    hopes and desires.
    7. Identifying multiple assumptions.
    8. Dealing with unreliable or unclear
    information with suspicion.
    9. Understanding both induction
    deduction skills.
    10.Avoiding logical fallacies
    These components or elements
    of critical thinking, as called by
    Saadeh (2011), when contemplating
    it, it becomes clear that they are the
    closest to introductions or directives
    for carrying out the process of
    critical thinking,
    In view of the components of
    critical thinking that have been
    reviewed, the components of the
    critical thinking process can be
    presented as follows:
    1. The knowledge base and what the
    individual possesses of previous knowledge
    that serve as his/her assumptions.
    2. The tendency to critical thinking as a result of
    an exciting stimulus through which an
    individual feels to stimulate critical thinking.
    3. Using critical thinking skills.
    4. Conclusion, so that the outcome of the critical
    thinking process is reached through the
    issuance of judgments, decisions, and the like.
