Previous publications used the term critical thinking (CT) skills and critical thinking practice interchangeably. This article describes the difference between them, defining skills as prerequisite abilities, while practices as real activities. People may have skills, but they do not always use them in everyday life. The question is what triggers people to practice CT given they already have skills and dispositions. To answer this, we will need to understand the roles of CT skills and dispositions in each stage of CT process. This article explains the position of the skill dimension as described by Halpern and twelve dispositions (derived from Dwyer's research) in the three stages of CT process (Pennycook, Fugelsang, and Koehler). Realizing the implication of practicing CT when people were in the detecting conflict stage is important to determine whether a person is going to think critically or not.

通过批判性思维技能和性格阶段了解日常生活中的批判性思维实践

以前的出版物交替使用术语批判性思维 (CT) 技能和批判性思维实践。本文描述了它们之间的区别，将技能定义为必备能力，而将实践定义为实际活动。人们可能拥有技能，但他们并不总是在日常生活中使用它们。问题是，鉴于人们已经拥有技能和性格，是什么促使他们练习 CT。要回答这个问题，我们需要了解 CT 技能和性格在 CT 过程的每个阶段中的作用。本文解释了 Halpern 所描述的技能维度的位置以及 CT 过程的三个阶段（Pennycook、Fugelsang 和 Koehler）中的十二种倾向（源自 Dwyer 的研究）。
