Do you wish to achieve higher grade with the subject knowledge you have? Do you want to be in lime light in your college or university? Do you really want to deliver the best of all batches to the university? Do you really wish to find a better jobs and the best company in the campus interview selection process? Do you wish to help your country to increase the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) by contributing through your university education? If your entire cell in the body says yes, there is a need of critical thinking and develop an intellectual behaviour.
Bloom's Taxonomy of Intellectual Behaviour describes the critical thinking skills in three steps - a) Analysis, b) evaluation, and c) creating.
To get involved into critical thinking one need to understand or analyse that there is a problem exists. This can be done by sensing the variations in phenomena. For instance, if an economic scholar has been asked to give reasons about the great recession observed in the year 2007-09 which, leads to slow down in the worlds’ economy, he can follow bloom’s taxonomy of intellectual behaviour to accomplish the goal.

An economic scholar should be able to analyse in do comparative analysis that why the situation great recession. The vicious cycle and the factors of its occurrence can be closely looked into. A micro economic analysis process can be followed for a better understanding the hindrance in the factors of development. A close analyse for the circular flow of money is needed.
After analysing the situation the scholar may be able to evaluate the major causes of problem which can be triggered in order to correct the situation. In this case the reason was the citizens slowed down the investments which leaded to slowing down the rate of savings.
Creativity comes into picture where the researcher combines different information from different sources and come up with something new. In the above case, the researcher has to try analysing and evaluating different research sources like articles, reports, and research papers, to come up with the findings, further deliberations and conclusions of the problem of great recession.
Critical thinking is thinking about all the verticals and horizontals of the problem to come up with the solutions. It can help the students to do more review of the literature and apply different economic models and theories which will enhance the subject knowledge through a case study method.
A teacher/professor should ignite a learner within the students by make them explore more and more cases. Assignments can be given to make the thinking process more generic. Students also learn from the challenges faced by them while writing a critical thinking assignment. The assignments can be discussed so that students can explore both verticals and horizontals of the problem. Evolution can be strictly done on the basis of presentation of the case.
A student can note the points which he/she feels important whenever he/she reads the any book/journal in own words. He/she can also do the same while attending any lecture. Later on much thought can be given on the notes/gist written during lecture or reading. This particular process can reduce the load of study and thought process/critical thinking can be practised.
A student can also look into or do a research on the previous question papers/evaluation/progress data of senior fellows to analyse how could be the examination and evaluation for him/her in the university. It is always suggested to mingle with classmates and discuss about the lectures and proceedings of the class.
Writing habitually about any current economic problem for instance, global warming and environmental change, deflation in developed countries and inflation in developing countries, different triggers of developments etc. can enhance creative thinking ability. Expressing yourself by critical writing will also make you bold and courageous to locate you voice. It may lead to create new ideas which may give you the copy write of the idea. You may gain fame and name among your professors and your classmates.
An economic student should not forget that money is just an instrument of exchange. In real productivity and production plays a role to augment the economy. One needs to consider the welfare economic and try doing better off in the areas of development. In this case, a researcher may needs to work in a combination of faculty say science and commerce in order to give strength to the problems. He/she can also accommodate a science scholar or scientist while working on issues which is related scientifically.
I may conclude saying that critical thinking is very much required in university level. It can be generated and presented in different ways. For that a professor needs to help the students to generate it and students need to follow the assignment guidelines which I have discussed in detail though out the article. This will help fetching a better job and finding increment in your grades.
