Improving Criticality Through Inquiry

Improving Criticality Through Inquiry: Integrative Approach of Teaching Critical Thinking Skills
Ghada Itayem
Concurrent Session #1

This presentation introduces an innovative pedagogical framework that explicitly teaches critical thinking skills within an inquiry-based learning context while enhancing students' curiosity. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on students' natural development of critical thinking through content exposure, this framework incorporates explicit instruction in analysis and evaluation at each instructional phase. This integrated approach results in measurable improvements in students' analytical and evaluative reasoning, particularly in their ability to identify logical fallacies, assess evidence quality, and construct well-supported arguments.
