Description
Summary:Critical thinking tends to be seen as more than competence for adaptation. It is one of the most important meta-competencies for future society. This study addresses two research questions: What kind of educational strategies are necessary for developing critical thinking skills? How can teachers develop students’ critical thinking competencies? The goal of this study: to identify the adequate strategy for developing critical thinking as a 21st-century competence. This study involved longitudinal research for a period of five years (2014-2019) and included 300 participants (students and teachers). For developing critical thinking as a meta-competence all teachers have to use the transformative pedagogical strategy in their daily practice.
