Logical Thinking
Thinking logically is a process of thinking using logic, rational and reasonable. Logic is the study of thought. Since thoughts are always expressed in words, logic is also concerned with "words as expressions of thought". By thinking logically, we will be able to distinguish and criticize the events that are happening to us today whether these events make sense and are in accordance with science or not.

Not only that, a student must also be able to think critically so that he is able to process phenomena received by the sensory system so that he can raise various related and intriguing questions to find answers.
The real example is when a student or researcher performs the scientific method, this scientific actor must carry out this scientific activity by thinking logically, starting from the moment the scientific actor makes observations/observations, formulates problems, formulates hypotheses, carries out research, collects data, processes and analyze the data, to draw conclusions. The whole process of scientific work must be carried out based on logical, rational, and reasonable principles in order to be accountable.
The logical way of thinking that is usually developed can be divided into two, namely thinking deductively and thinking inductively. Deductive logic is drawing conclusions drawn from general propositions to specific propositions. It's simply a general-specific word. Inductive logic is the opposite of deductive logic.
This type of logic must follow reasoning based on experience or reality. That is, if there is no evidence then the conclusion is not necessarily true or certain. Thus, he will not believe in a conclusion that is not based on experience or reality through the capture of his five senses.
Principles of the Way of Thinking
+Always constructive.
+Think slowly and try to make things as simple as possible.
+Release your ego from your way of thinking and be able to step back for a moment to see what the results of your way of thinking are.
+At this point, what am I trying to do? What is the focus and purpose of this thought?.
+Able and Know when to use logic, when to use creativity, when to seek information.
+What is the result of this way of thinking – why do I believe it will work.
+Feelings and emotions are an important part of thinking, but place them after exploration and not before.
+Always try to find new alternatives, perceptions, and ideas.
+Able to move back and forth between outline thinking and detailed thinking.
+Is this a “probably” or “definitely” issue? Logic is as useful as the perception and information that underlies the problem.
+Different points of view may be correct based on different perceptions.
+All actions have consequences and consequences for our values, people and the world around us.
Logical thinking is something natural, just like breathing, walking, seeing, eating, and feeling. Everything has to do with the brain, as well as the logical thinking process. We use reason all the time. This process is so natural that we never notice it. That's why we often feel so illogical. And if our attention is not on it, we rarely notice the times when we use logic naturally.
You apply logical thinking processes to solving problems every time you decide to do one thing and not do another. For example, when you decide to put a stapler into the top desk drawer, not the bottom, because you use that object a lot.
Also when you decide to end your relationship with someone because after two years, that person is still not interested in making a commitment. When you decide to compromise with your two brothers in dividing the mother's inheritance, to avoid things that will only cause heartache and hatred. And also when you decide to cook the potatoes first because potatoes take longer to cook than steaks.
