Socrates used to say "The unexamined life is not worth living." The most essential difference between people and animals is in the production of labor awareness of human-specific, that is, people’s ability to think. The reason why people become primate of all things, is the virtue of the person’s thinking cognitive ability. The survival of the people not only in order to solve the needs of instinct, more thinking impetus dynamic transformation of the objective world. Descartes said that "I think, therefore I am". This saying shows that, thinking activities being throughout the entire life course from birth to death.Bornov once said:"the development independent judgment is a matter of paramount importance, and this work is always difficult, and today is particularly difficult." With the continuous development of human society, and now is the era of industrial civilization. The development of society, the progress of science and technology is a double-edged sword, also caused a lot of problems at the same time bring convenience to people. Especially transformation from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization is in a new era of science and technology and social and cultural change people’s ideas that a great change has occurred. Social phenomena and social problems today are a reflection of the lack of public judgment. A habit of thinking, ways of thinking to develop with his (or her) to be educated is closely related.

Therefore, the judgment education on the need to adopt a different from traditional education education. Judgment education advocated by train and develop thinking ability, judgment, judgment education pay more attention to the ability, not only in the mastery of knowledge. The reflective thinking advocated by Dewey, stressed precisely this kind of thinking temper. Therefore, it is necessary to develop reflective thinking as an important way of judgment education. The same time, we must be self-education as a major focus, through the use of reflective thinking and critical thinking to develop the ability of self-education, thus contributing to the improvement and development of the person’s thinking ability and judgment.
