From the Paper:
"The essential aspects of this specific area of a critical thinking framework center on supporting the skills framework areas described in the preceding section and the Attitudes and Disposition Framework. The Values Framework also concentrates on the qualities of truth, sympathy, self-criticism, authenticity, sincerity and transparency and their contributory role to skills assessment. The need for values to create the necessary underlying support for all other critical thinking framework components including knowledge, skills, attitudes and disposition has been defined from the context of overlapping "lanes" or areas of coordinated information sharing."Sample of Sources Used:
