What is Military School Educationist

This chapter advances the argument that military colleges and universities should infuse and implement critical thinking in learning experiences to explore and develop values, character traits, and leadership skills in students (cadets). The chapter first surveys the literature concerning critical thinking, drawing from historical, philosophical, psychological, and educational evidence. The chapter then elucidates the Delphi Report's findings about CT and contends that military school educationists use the report as a guide for instructional strategies and educational experiences with students (cadets). By embracing the fundamentals of critical thinking through several perspectives and leveraging the elements of CT identified in the Delphi Report, military colleges and universities can initiate a renewed interest in leveraging the advantages of CT in their courses, offering students opportunities to become capable officers, productive citizens, and moral people.
