Abstract: (201 Views)
Criticizing and studying children's stories has brought about a tremendous change in the writing, criticism, and evaluation of stories and achievements in the field of children's literature as a basis for building human thought and the intellectual level in the later stages of life. One of the most important of these theories in criticizing stories is Matthew Lipman's critical thinking approach. In the field of literary criticism, this theory can be used to examine and analyze works in the field of children's literature and distinguish works that have a lot of critical qualifications from works that are weak in this regard. In this article, a story by Yaqoub Al-Sharouni, a well-known Egyptian writer, will be analyzed in the field of children’s literature. The title of the story is “The Sultan, One Day,” and here we aim to analyze the story in terms of repetition and application of the components of critical thinking according to Matthew Lipman’s theory. It is clear that no matter how many children's works technically use these components, they can be recommended for frequent use by children in their daily lives. The conclusion was that Yaqoub Al-Sharouni did not consciously use the specific order and pattern of the theory of critical thinking in his story. So these components sometimes increase and sometimes decrease depending on his personal style and the story process. Of the fifteen components discussed by Lippmann in his theory, nine are used in a story, and for some of them there is more than one model. From this standpoint, the story is considered effective and reliable in teaching children critical thinking. It should be noted that the method used in this research is the descriptive and analytical method.
